as you all know i use it as an agricultural contractor flailmowing, also its used for general arable and at local rallys etc ;D

as pics show i have duel wheels for it and often pull a 4 meter power harrow on it, had it dyno tested last year and its 96hp ;D rated in the book at 90hp, not bad after 26 years hard work :o

bought it 5 years ago with 4920hrs and clock now shows 7500hrs, not bad going seen as it was bought as a toy to replace my tef20 fergie (was sick of getting cold with no cab)

any questions please ask

thanks for all ya kind comments, drive through keyingham on a regular basis in her, have a few customers out that way and do alot of work on the BOYES LANE show field for holdeness vintage club

tris, im after a 3350 :P waiting for the right one, has to be a 3350 4wd, high lift, air con, wide step and one of the last ones built, yes i know it will be as much as a good 6800 but i want a 50 series due to great vison for flailing also needs to be on 18.4r38 rears so my duels fit and that bigger tyres for grip

She sure is a great looking girl Mike. Are the rear wheels original?
