SPN Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The FIECO was only sold on 7As for about a year as it didn't meet the new noise level legislation (massive understatement, as anyone who spent more than 30 minutes in a FIECO cabbed 6Y running at 2200rpm will confirm - if they can hear your question). There were a lot of Fritz cabbed 7As imported second hand into ROI from Holland and Belgium in the early 80s. Buttles in Kilmuckridge used to bring a lot of stuff in from the Continent.

Bennetts in Courtmacsherry West Cork are still pulling in rare ones from Holland & Belgium & would probably source a nice Fritzmeier Ford or anything else if you wanted one .. But they did sell Fritzmeiers from new also SPN in Ireland back in the day. Colemans in Millstreet supplied us with a new one ,it was the last of them ..an 82 year. & many other local farmers had new ones also .Cheaper option to a Q !!! I even remember the Cork City Council having 2 Fritz cabbed 4610 & 5610 tractors in red back then . The Council always bought new as we all know well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
