I was kind of hoping that Marky had bought rescued that big old V8 massey combine and it was now Hobby Harvesting in the Eastern counties somewhere.....

BigX500 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 next up an absolute corker , a very clean & tidy D reg MF 699 8000hrs ,with no rust. new to a pig farm nr Glastonbury That trctor would fit nicley into our collection of 699's :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 i dare say it would mate , matter of fact it would also look nice parked next to my 168 , but i don't think he's going to let this one go in a hurry, the only down side to the 699 is she doesn't like getting up on cold mornings & so it's been fitted with eather start, & just like easy start , she's addicted now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
