Smashing pictures BGU  :) Two questions though.

1. Maize stubble?

2. On the MF 135 on the first page, what is the bracket for that's visible in front of the filter with the brace running down behind the front wheel?

1 Yes Maize stubble and cow poo!!

2 Sorry no idea?

Great selection of pics there Kev...... :)

Like the old Matbro too, the lad with the beacon on his Grey Fergie is as mad as me...... :D;) ;)

Computers taking ages to load pictures and how on earth did I get three pictures in one post.

Will do some more tomorrow!

It was a duplicate pic mate, sorted it for you...... :) :) :);)

What a smashing field of machinery  :D

Thanks for posting them up. I think I have driven all of those at some stage in my career - except the Big A  :)

I think its a loader bracket on the 135  :-\ - could be wrong  :-[

For a MF 80 loader I think... ;)

Here it is... the bracket that is  :)

When you think of some of the honkin' great plates of metal that are on tractors as loader brackets nowadays, that bracket is pretty unobtrusive  :) That would be pre- round bale silage days though eh? Not so much weight hanging off the front.

We had an 80 on our 550 and about 1 tonne at the hooks was it's absolute limit..... :)

had an 80 on the farms 290, mainly muck fork work and flat eights in the summer, bit of seed bags work with the pallet tines, but thats all, they did try it once with a beet bucket, but it wouldnt handle it that well, so they used a contractor for that work in the end,
