MJB1 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 been out & about as usual , but not been posting first off a handy little DB990 although little used nowadays grubby looking 7610, a hosepipe wouldn't go amis cant remember if i've posted this tractor before but it's worth a second apearance , a very tidy 956XL well worn & singed for 4600 another of Barbers farms 135 scraper tractors , number 2 i suspect another nice find , this is the second 20D i have found on scraper duties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 nice 565 still working along with a very very tidy 675 not many about but some still get spotted , a 399 now the next tractor really did take my eye as soon as i saw the number plate. It's an E registered LP cabbed Ford 7610 4wd which i used to drive back in 1987 i was 17 ! When i had it it only had 150 hours on the clock & i used a ransomes TSR 4 furrow reversable on it as well as a cheap nasty 2 metre combination drill. When the farmer died in 89 it was sold to someone near beaminster , turns out it went to the Westbay area on boat duty & was there till 4 weeks ago ! A loader has been added as as another 5000 hours , but considering it's age & sea water , it's very tidy. farmer currently runs a 6610 on a slurry pump , but wants something with a bit more puff so thats where the 76 is headed never thought i'd see this again , if it wasn't for a keen rep trying to clear old stock i'd never of had this Bl00dY tractor , i'd of had a brand new 7610 SQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 More great pictures, keep them coming. That 7610LP must have been hanging around for a long time if it was on an E plate. It is very tidy but does have the usual faded upper dash in the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very tidy but does have the usual faded upper dash in the cab. jim was in the process of ordering a new 7610 SQ , but then this came up at a ridiculous price , so it came to me at moolham farm , although i didn't stay for too long as the boss was a bit unpredictable & was a little too fond of a wee dram or two ! The dash cowling was green back then in 87 ! & was an unusual order to be spec'd with the LP roof & front wheel tyre configuration to be paired with the rears , apparently the usual was to have a smaller wheel & bigger tyre on the front of these tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 from memory some of the last 500's of the run at coventry were two tone two door cabs mate, have a feeling a few got built in france to, sure marky will confirm mind, some nice pics there i must say, but never heard of a grasshopper mower before, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 What age is the door door, two step, two tone Massey? I'm just wondering when the two doors with sliding window was introduced. Grasshopper mowers, great piece of kit, go as fast as you can, would leave a Tarrup 307 standing as MJB states but you always had a small tuft of grass between the two drums. Didn't the company evolve into K-Two sales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 1979 is the answer to the above ... for the UK market.. they were being made from 1976 though... the Scandinavians wouldn't take the 500 without 2 doors, a roof hatch and 'ergonomic pedals' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
