Lord Ferguson Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Must be a prototype of some type I guess \ - Oooo I wonder what it will be Is that what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I think it's a tribute tractor. It's styling being based on the nose of one of their staunchest supporters. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allis8550 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well , I'm not 100% certain, but I think we've got two choices. 1/ Its a MF 8160 that's been damaged and rebuilt with a Steyr bonnet, or 2/ It's a genuine Steyr 9160 thats been resprayed in MF colours.

Lord Ferguson Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Ah ha... well done Allis... good detective work there mate... I reckon she's been made to look like a Massey... lets face it... I'd do it if I was another brand of tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Deffo Allis... I wonder what the story is then \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 It looks to me as if MF's Beauvais factory has been providing Steyr with either complete high HP tractors or components for Steyr to build their own. Look at this one I've found MF 3690/ Steyr 9190, which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 It's both - MF supplied Steyr with high hp tractors for the 90's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I'm happy with my un-educated guess that it was Steyr related then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
