BGU Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I do like that sprayer! The farm up the road has an MB Trac one but not like that! Keep trying to find it to get a picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Nice pics there mate......Love the sprayer......Do you know if it was Cleanacres Machinery that did the conversion on it? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 If my memeory is any good (which it isn't very often), a firm called Lancaster used to do the conversion to forward control, amongst others. That tank looks remarkably like an old Chafer, if my eyes are right you can see where the decal was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 yeah Lancaster did the conversion on MB tracs otherwise known as Lanc tracs when MB production ceased South Cave tractors did the conversion for Unimogs that is a Chafer tank most forwrd control units were fitted with spray packs according to customers needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 The MB was converted by Thomas Sheriff & Co, a local company in the Scottish Borders. It was then sent to Chaffer to be fitted out with sprayer kit.( Doncaster ) The booms you see now are Cleanacres own, fitted a few years ago. The MB is on an `E` plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellarian Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Lancaster bros did do MB conversions, but the Lan Tracs were purpose built. Own Chassis with air assist suspension, Deere power systems engines & powershift, Deere 6000 forager cabs. Alloy tanks and booms. Very, very well made and they were well ahead of their time. Salmons used to run them before selling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
