SMurF Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Just a shame the cab rots out on them Fergie srarted to get it right with the 600 series You wanted to see some of the stuff that used to be tested on our farm by masseys started way back when 188's were about but these 188's had 4 wheel drive and looked nothing like 188's one of the last ones just before they ceased testing out of stoneleigh was a 399 with a sequential gear box . Totaly manual but very wierd to use so the test driver said. Was a scaled up motocycle type thing but i don't know if it made it into production or it may have been a testbed for the modern Dynoshift that we have today.

MJB1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 looking at the moldboards i'd say it's a bit sticky to plough , not worried about burying the trash either \ tractor does look wel though , no colour fade or rust to show of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Nice tractor Horrendous ploughing :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Beautiful for a 600 series but I think he better let some one else do the ploughing before the neighbours start talking :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 just looked at the pic again , ,would have been worthy of a place in the photo comp. got to admit , there's something about the 600 series that makes it a really nice tractor to see working , especially one in that condition , the ford 7610SQ were the same , best get rory on the case !
