nashmach Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 And finally tractor number1 in nashmach's fleet a 1990 Ford 4610 Generation III 2wd tractor. Its 2 years now since we bought this lady and she has certainly impressed in that time - she has a Tanco 968 loader with quick attach on her - she does all the loading with the fork leaving the 3000 to the bucket work. Her main jobs are loading bales and cleaning out cattle sheds, ploughing, harrowing, flat rolling and grinding barley. She is also useful for cutting evergreen hedges and painting the house with a home made platform. Only 3400 hours on the clock at the moment so plenty of life in her yet and very useful with the wide 16.9 R30 tyres on the back especially with some of our wetter land.

smish Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 ha!! the cats are prowlin again stan!!! is that a column change nash or has the generation 3 got the gears back on the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Smish she had got the good old 8 x 2 box as my father nad I wouldn't dream of looking at column gear change mish mash. Stan as for the stickers that was the dealer getting a bit excited with his new logo and he put 4 of them on the tractor. (Judging by the colours you should be able to guess which dealer she came from??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I presume from your comments she is reliable enough Nashbash A local farmer in Udimore had some problems with the gearbox (a one off I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 In the 2 years she has cost us very little only a few bits and pieces for the cab like gas struts and fuses and also she had to get a sticking diff lock fixed and a fuel tank flushing but otherwise super reliable Unusual for 8X2 to give trouble Udi usually bombproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 apart from one being quieter & having a wireless you'd have a job to tell which was which when blindfolded :D be good to see if the 46 will be about when it's as old as the 3000 is now mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm afraid Marcus there is in no radio in the 4610 either at the moment - might swipe one out of the old Toyota Starlet that was bought for me to learn how to drive at some stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 This one has now been traded in and replaced with a 1999 Landini 9880 with Tanco T70 loader, 4wd and only 3300 hours on the clock Very happy so far with the latest addition to the fleet.
