Powerstarâ„¢ Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Still have a few customers who prefer little squares, a Job left to the MF 2685 Electronic. As many of you remember this tractor was bought from a dealer as scrap, and we repaired it ourselves to it's current condition. With a updated less worn second hand engine showing 2466 hours there's alot of life left in the old girl yet. The NH 940 is one of 2 owned by us, although this one get's more use as the hook for the sledge is still intact, this bailer has clocked up a remarkable 177.908 bales, the sledge was bought new in 1987 from Lister Wilder. Here we're bailing just 2 miles west of Wheddon Cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
