The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Some lovely tractors in the Cheffins sale @smithy. Followed the sale live online for the first couple of hours pretty much knowing there was going to be nothing I could afford that i'd really like. Given recent prices I didn't think there was anything that made mega money or an out of the ordinary price. I thought some of the American imports which I think Robert Fearnley had brought over 20 years ago made stronger money than usual. I believe they all came from the same collection, would have quite liked that Allis Chalmers D21 or that Minne Mo G1350. Thought the John Deere 4020 made excellent money at £17500. Bargain of the sale was the second of the David Brown Track Masters that made £5400. Hoping those two crawlers stayed together as a pair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 @smithy How do they get the fall on your drainage or was the field on a slope? What sort of depth do they go too? @Tractorman810 Sounds like a Barth K140 you are describing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted April 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2021 Been busy myself past fortnight or so building a tipping trailer, maybe it's a bit overkill for what it's doing but way I look at it if it's built strong it'll last a lifetime 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Now that’s a grand job Paul. She looks nice and strong and those wheels look to be sat well out to the edge of the body. Better being over engineered than needing a repair in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
