pudding Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 none in NZ that i know of marky for some reason we never got many MF of that age, at that size, we got the english influence, the 2640, 2680, and 2720, 1100, 1135, 1150, 1155 1200, 1805, 1505 but the aussies got the american influenced ones eg this is a 3645 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thats interesting Pud... we never got the 1805 here... and only about 50 1150's from memory... just too big for us limeys on this little old Island... by the time you got it in gear and the implement straightened up for a run up the field.... it was time to turn before you went over the cliff edge We never got the "re-branded" 3000 series either... I do have brochures on ALL tractors mentioned in this thread to date if you want any emailed to you buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I Think i have the 3645 brochure in my collection here, that machine has a door on the right too, thats a little wierd i thought there are a lot of 1135 and 1150 round here, most are retired, my father owned a 1100 when i was in nappies its weird how stuff was imported into the southern hemisphere both countries had very different ideas, yet most major manufacturers tried to keep stuff standard..... New Zealand relaxed importing restrictions changed things eg, there is 2 JD 3130's the aussie version, and the rest of the world version........differences are in the rear axles but all the MF stuff came the same as what you got in the UK 135/148/165/168/175/178/185/188/1080/1100/etc.....but all in ROPS spec, NZ cabs were fitted if required the 168/178/188 am told all came with the big hyd pump, and aux cooling circuit and filter, like the fords, of the time, apparently we didn't need factory cabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thats interesting mate... what about the 500 series.... did they come over in ROPS format as well then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 naa...for some reason they were cabbed......guess they figured it out by then the 595mk1 and mk2 were cabbed, and the 575? and 590 seems there was a long wheel base 590 offered too, seen one of them somewhere too i know of a couple 595's round here, one of my customers has a 1080 4wd ROPS, i know of another one in the area too.......and a 1155 4wd, with cab dads 1100 was a ROPS this is a pic of his tractor, me on the set (3 years old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
