But the smaller ones like the 140 ,120 & 155 are good enough by all accounts. I don't know whether you used to follow the British Farming Forum some years ago but there was an excellent thread on there by Footsfitter called TM175 and the muppets from Basildon which set out all of the problems they had with their 175. Sad to say it was in the workshop more than it was in the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 yes the 175 and 190 suffered problems,not so sure about the smaller ones though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roberthenning Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The difference between (most) TMs and 60 series cab difference was cab suspension making it sit higher. If the cab setback at rear too much usually the shocks were done. (And cab top on the ones with strips) early tms roof was same. Also early tms had grey chassis and later first gens had black. As said the TMs were pretty bullet proof why they command high prices now. The long wheel base 175s and 190s were troublesome at start but all sorted now and have evolved into lwb T7.270s very good tractors. As for the repliagri abomination it’s as inaccurate as the 8560 ie the bonnet being a bit wide (forgivable) and THAT cab being far too squat, I changed mine for in imber cab. 40s 60s and TMs all had same cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roberthenning Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 That’s her there. Forgot to paint the wheel centres for whatever reason. Had the pleasure to bounce around in many’s a 60 and tm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I was wanting to get a tm155 in my collection,newer style roof looks too thick and as phil said dashboard is way too big so not sure at all, I'd expect better for the price of them.

bluegreen Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I suspect Toyfarmer will use a fresh CASE MXM bonnet design along with the different CASE roof…..and if the cabs pinched like the TMs I guess it could be modified or "imbered" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
