nashmach Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 For a few hours last month I got to drive this beauty for a friend of mine (the same guy who is looking for the combine manual). 99 reg with a little over 3k hours on the clock and he bought her last year and put a turbo on her. In terms of power driving his older non turbo version is like driving with the handbrake on :D. When drawing 14 bales of heavy chopped silage any sign of a hill and he was down through the box whereas I on the turbo could leave her at it . Definetely a tractor to drive with as much open as possible to listen to that roar *. Only shortcoming would be a dodgy gearchange but with practice its mastered - just changing down is dodgy . Only had her on the trailer and 10' JQ 1360 mower so not a real test unfortunatley Hopefully get another bit of going on her in august Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Spot on - my neighbour was driving her for a few days and put his own straight through pipe on her to increase the decibels but it does give a nice whistle at 1600rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Very nice mate........By the looks of things you see more Fiatagri machines over in Ireland than over here........Perhaps have to come back to Ireland on holiday and go looking........

FNHIR Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 There was one of those working on a site near where I lived in college (college, oh how I miss you :'( ), it had New Holland tinwork on the left hand side of the bonnet and SFA on the right hand side, but it was actually a Fiat version as it was a 91-LK reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 looking in very good condition i worked with a lot of flats 6 or 7 years ago Yes she is very clean for a one that does 1000hrs per year now although his older one is rougher as she does the dirty work. Wait till you see my neighbours when ever I get a picture of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
