Lord Ferguson Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 I went to see my apples being picked today... so I snapped some of the farmers kit... Look what he had This is a rare beasty... Position control on one side... draft on the other... before the days when they had one quadrent doing it all on the vineyard models... Out of interest... as you sit in the seat... Position on the right... draft on the left Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 Rarer than that still... a French built MF135 VINEYARD (as apposed to a Narrow) and what a lovely little lady she is 1500 hours from new She's a late model as well... check out the front badge This tractor has a 165-8 backend evidently... it's WELL over-engineered Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 Oh.. and in the same shed.... 1200 hours from new as well... Quote
