:o :o :o - Incontinents pants pleeeeese... you lucky lucky lucky beggar Stevo...  :o :o :o

so come on then... how much fun was it ??? what was it like to drive ??? details please...

thanks for sharing the pics  ;D

It was a lot of fun for 15 mins.It was easy to drive because she was set up just push the lever to go forwards drop the linkage little rocker switch hit the A button revs went up 1500 and speed was set at 5kph the B button was set to 8 kph drop the back wheel of the plough on a little spool switch and off you go and all you had to do was steer  reverse procedure when you got to the end  ;D But the best bit was hearing her roar outside the cab  :)

I never thought i would drive her  :o You will one day  :)

I do hope so mate i drove big tractors but that where all otherbrands then massey's ;D

I already drove the Fendt 930 and a New Holland 8670 and some big John Deere's but the biggest massey i drove is the MF7495 New bonnet look ;D

So i hope i can drive a beast like this one some time!

Brash most of there land is on some very steep hills (i had my mxu going sideways ) And i think they are waiting for a press to turn up  ;D
