the other green Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Dude 5 miles down the road has (or at least had last year) one of those. It's all red though. It doesn't do much anymore. I don't think he uses it much because getting parts for it is difficult now. The local dealer closed down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Excellent Me too Where did you see yours? Ken Tuckwell's example? No, probably Royal Shows in the past and may have also been at Lincolnshire "Power-in-Action" demos in the late 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belarusfan Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Next thing he will have is a Forschitt combine and maybe a Menegle silage harvester :D I wish I had the space and bank balance for one I'd love to photograph one still going, but it seems they're a bit thin on the ground over here... ...there's always that trip to East German and the Czech Republic I keep thinking about that will never happen \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I probably know the answer to this already as there aren't many about, but was it any good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belarusfan Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 I probably know the answer to this already as there aren't many about, but was it any good! It does seem good yes in general, but a bit heavy and large for the power,and lift capacity isn't great (typical artic). Also fairly expensive when new, and lets face it, for the money, in the 1970s (cold war), most people would want something mainstream to show off to their neighbours?
