Lord Ferguson Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 nice one marky.did you do well on the trade in ?were you not tempted to keep both? f I didn't trade Fanny in for her... It would be like selling one of my kidneys :D well do some big trucks really need extra spot lights, chrome sun visors, crome exausht stacks NO but why do some people put them on, its what ever the owner wants personal preference is great i would have two and have two on my tractor Ok OK.. you win... tein beacons it is... when I get my 50 hour service... I'll have another one installed Ummm... Stainless Steel Exhaust :D Very nice markey verrry very nice but i have to ask, why because if its going to be used on a rubbish bailer ( i dont mean it is a rubbish bailer ) wouldnt an older one do? Also if its only going to sit on that why 4wd ? I think the bailer was just an exscuse to buy a new tractor Really though a lovely tractor well... how can I answer that... you've seen through my disguise - 4wd for the weight... and resale value really.... \ You forgot to tell us about the tyre options Marky. I agree with the others about needing tose two extra front work lights just to fill the gaps in the roof panel. i wouldn't be too bothered abot the twin beacons though \ Oh indeed james - I knew I would miss something... I think the rears look a little small as well don't you - Dont thik I will be going for the roof lights in all honesty Can you believe you actually own her? ;D Great purchase mate, she ought to provide you with many years of good service...well done! No i'm not b.s ing...what makes you thing that? Really? Well....maybe a bit... :D - thanks Timmy B... I hope she does provide me with years of service Love the tractor Marky. Not a big fan of Massey's in general but very nice hope that you are happy with it. Thanks rob.. I'm not a huge fan myself as you know :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Well Marky I think she looks Brilliant as she is - doesn't need beacons lights or anything else!! They are just jealous!!! (Most of them are green any way!) :D I'm jealous by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Congrats on the New Arrival Mr F I'm sure you will keep her looking like new. I have to agree about the rooflights - looks too obvious that theres a couple missing at the moment. Is that your green trailer next to the 5445? If so what do you use it for and what pulls it? (sorry for being nosey ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry for being nosey ) Not at all Mark.... firstly... I tend to agree on the lights front... but I don't think I'll be getting them fitted retrospectively... As for the trailer... it's an 8t Bailey dumper... I use it for waste from my peeling machine (and all other items of F & V waste)... it's part of my recycling system... I GIVE it to my local farmer who has 500 head of bull beef - we have an output of around 10T per week at thwe present time. I've had an autohitch on Fanny II - so I expect I'll be delivering it at times now I have the right wheels \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Marky Can you get a picture of her sitting beside Fanny ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Looking smart Marky, just pop it up here and we'll run it in on the bed tiller for you.....it has the CVX on its knees at times and thats 190hp so it ought to do the job ;D As for the twin beacon argument, well two is better than one, especially if you will be travelling on the A14 with it, in fact never mind twin beacons, take them both off and fit a light bar to the roof :D If there's anyway of making it more visible then its worth a little extra, wouldn't bother with the extra work lights though as its spending money when you don't need to, could be better put to use on a match plough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belarusfan Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I must say that does look nice! An excellent purchase, now I guess she's just got to pay for herself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi Marky I assume that you have the model to go alongside the new baby, it would be remiss of you not to have one, and of course it has to be an exact match with the same spec ;) ;) ;) robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I have also just remembered that you said that you got it as 4wd for the resale value....MARKY FERGUSON... this is your child,,,, would you sell your children... a tractor is for life... not just for squashing a bit of rubbish > > > Shame on you :o :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Good to see it in your yard at last It does look tidy. Sensible not going for the Dyna box too and nothing wrong with those wheels for roadwork. Wot no front suspension? Agree with Gav - get a lightbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 she is a nice Tractor marky just dont fanny about with her or let it idle for long times keep it working pretty hard or else the engine wont last as long as it should keep her worked as often as you can to stop the pistons glazing over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 I must say that does look nice! An excellent purchase, now I guess she's just got to pay for herself? I'm hoping she will Chris... I've got two co-directors breathing down my neck as we speak :D Hi Marky I assume that you have the model to go alongside the new baby, it would be remiss of you not to have one, and of course it has to be an exact match with the same spec ;) ;) ;) robbo No model as yet... so I am open to offers from the master builders on here HINT HINT... PDC did say he would look at making one for me - I guess she's not that far removed from the Siku 5455 really \ As for selling her... EVERYTHING is for sale - Except Gav.. people keep wanting a refund when I see him :D Good to see it in your yard at last It does look tidy. Sensible not going for the Dyna box too and nothing wrong with those wheels for roadwork. Wot no front suspension? Agree with Gav - get a lightbar Thanks John... you are next I hope... Dyna box was just not an option for me really.. been out in it today... I'm quite happy with the gear stick/shuttle version really.. I'll look into this lightbar business... anyone know a good manufacturer of one she is a nice Tractor marky just dont fanny about with her or let it idle for long times keep it working pretty hard or else the engine wont last as long as it should keep her worked as often as you can to stop the pistons glazing over I'm hoping to get a fair bit of work that involves some heavy stuff in time Nick... fingers crossed anyway.. I was thinking today about upgrading my mower to a nice flail and seeing if I can get some local work in the summer holidays perhaps \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 hey marky you serious about other work for it?? does it snow there.........get a snow plough? one of the companies here who has a road side mower on a tractor, uses it in the winter to clear large snow dumps off the mountain passes behind where i live, or road sweeper maybe?, guess if you got a spare labour unit in the business.........and once you get over the fact is yours and no one else is allowed to drive it, that spare labour unit.......machine operator/forklift driver.......could keep it busy in utility jobs for the coucil and customers, as well as the important bale compacting ........let you get back to selling fruit to schools ha ha!

Lord Ferguson Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Not enough snow here to fill a bucket usually Puddy... regretfully... I need some wortk for it in the summer holidays really...

texas Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 For extra work you can go maybe to contractor's. Contractors overhere hire sometimes tractor with driver when they have to much work. Or buy a tedder and persuade contractor's and farmer's about it. When i am right someone on FTF has a tedder and do this as contractor.
