FB Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 so would they leave the tractor running un-manned while pumping??? as it can take a few hours \, i would have thought a trailed pump would be better \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 so would they leave the tractor running un-manned while pumping??? as it can take a few hours \, i would have thought a trailed pump would be better \ Because a tractor looks better I saw this one running three times (its on the way to pub ) unattended (for hours if not days), this is why I didn't want to go into the field to photograph it so tried from the road. Last time I went past, it was off and the gate was open so I figured why not, beats getting run over trying to get a crap photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 when you see pics of tractors like this , does any one here think back to what this tractor was like 20+ years ago ? brand spanking new & someones pride & joy sad really isn't it :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 I don't know if I'm sad about it (though I see where you're coming from) sometimes I hate seeing the pristine tractors sat up at shows surrounded by beds of flowers, owners cleaning the inside of the exhaust or what not because for 99% of that tractors life it didn't look like that. To me this is a honest working tractor, ok it needs some cosmetics but if it wasn't working, I wouldn't have seen it. If the engine lasts, I'm sure one day it'll be preserved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Still better than gears falling out of an MF gearbox :D Your both right 100hp is a good size for pumping water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
