Yes that is nearer but could do with a newer one, although not too fussed as loaders are sometimes get swapped between tractors when they are replaced. , the tractor will be a gen III when I've finished. I found a pic of this but not sure what age it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a real one of these, it'd be a great baling tractor, fast on the road as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 That's a beauty of a Ford . The pic of it on the NH forager with the 7600 reminds me if Cronin Agri Bros old set up back in the late 80's . They ran an 8100 on a NH forager also & carted with a few 76' s , great pic and fantastic convo . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
