FNHIR Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Yeah I agree, and the blue and yellow decal looks out of place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james f Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Sure, he didnt just slap a newer decal on an old tractor...make all his drivers think he'd got a new tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Couldn't have as it a TM 175 or TM 190 and they or anything that size/shape were not around when the terracotta's were more common around 1996/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 has the terracotta gone for good now then , as i heard it was still available to the italians , due to the fiat heritage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 looks nicer in blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 has the terracotta gone for good now then , as i heard it was still available to the italians , due to the fiat heritage ? Think it's gone for good alright, the Italian NH site shows all blues. Though I'm sure if you ask nicely they'll paint it terracotta for a few euro extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 it maybe the case of identity , like that dutch turf contractor in CT a while back ,he ran steyr tractors so adopted the colours as his own, so when he bought his fendt 930 it was sprayed in the red & white of styer , as thats the colour people identified with his company , this terracotta may have been done for the same reason ? that or the original panel had been damaged & thats a replacement pannel , which i suspect is the real reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 No I think it's loyalty to Fiat, the topic that I burrowed the pic from on FarmPhoto had a pic of a terracotta TM155 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Similar to what I'd do, but I suppose it'd be too much to specify to the dealer that you want the Ford name on the side and the oval on the front! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
