Scarlett fever this month Marcus :D Good pictures again.

little 362 eh what are they 3cyl turbo ? Pity Britains didn't pick something a little larger from the range back in the day. That's funny - these days they all model the largest in any range :-X

Is that the MF dealer just east of Taunton ?

just not going to that many new farms at the moment mark  :( & the red interests me more than any other brand so why not snap away ! getting quite a good MF library of pics now !

362 i think was a 4cyl naturaly aspirated engine at 62 HP, A4,236 ? could be wrong  this 362 is the main tractor & farmer says it's been trouble free since it came to the farm &  is a great little all-rounder, supplied new with a loader it did everything , but to ease the workload the loader was sold when they decided to buy the handler .

yes the dealer is NE of taunton on the A38> bridgwater

the 82 has a few black bit's hasn't it !

yes i'm the regular driver mark , what you cant see in th pic is that in front of the lorry (behind me taking the pic ) was a silage face , so getting in & out wasn't the easiest of drops  ::)

what at first glance looks to be a pretty good MF 200 trailer

Picture005Small-1.jpg

untill you look at the chassis rails , typical of these trailers , the chassis beams have cracked in two places & has been heavily plated, unfortunately the same has happened the otherside as well  :(

Great updates there Marcus the 1080 and 1155 look well! I know where there is a 1135 lying in a yard at the minute :'(

They were popular over here in the early days of contract silaging.

best get pics mate , before marky starts campaigning for it's salvation  :D :D
