Deere-est Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'd love to see a Prarie monster working over here like that Masset. Smashing looking bits of kit i reckon, have real muscle look to'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 More info on the Massey. The owner - not Sharps - bought it because his father had one years ago. It cost him about 10k and he has spent more than double that on restoring it to mint condition, he now runs it for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
