pudding Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 that 135 pic is in a persimon orchard marky, yup my family grows those damn things and dad is spraying sulfur i think, hence no breathing apparatus..............just keep her lit and stay infront of the cloud this pic, FIAT L75DT is now gone, replaced by MTX125........dunno if i have a pic of that second pic is spike the dog, he still round, ain't worn out yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudding Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 MF135 6spd petrol.........i think we still own it, might be on permanent loan to the neighbour.......to me this is the idea crusing tractor, fun to drive another pic of the 165mp doing what it does best i think we now have a new spreader, and a sing row swather.......ha ha!.........modern kit on classic tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 ya the sweetcorn silage is a effective feed, there is no dump locally, so you can screw them down on price, it has energy level of about 9MJME, about the same as average grass, but you don't have to grow it, and you don't have to worry about the opportunity cost of taking paddocks out of dairy production.......especially with good payouts next..........135 8spd restore, the grey is the wrong shade i think..........ha ha!.......looks better then the other grey and the 135 petrol in hard graft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 MF 165 MP with 70in howard hoe, breaking ground toby the cat, dad got him in the divorce, and the dog knows not to eat him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Lovely pics puddy... some lovely kit as well... I bet that 285 is a powerful machine as well... Get the 135 Petrol back from the neighbour.. it would be worth a small fortune over here :o - There was only ever a handful of 135 petrols sold over here... to mushrooms farms I believe (derv fumes and mushrooms don't mix)... I'd love to have a walk around your farm sometime... would be fun I reckon Thanks for sharing buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 hey marky...........haven't been home in 5 years, would be nice to have a walk round it myself i think the MF285 is for sale, its a ok tractor, strong tractor, but the 188 is nicer to drive for some reason when we rebuilt the 285 (it was a basket case too)........it got a engine, steering bushes, pump, MP pump (that was the reason for the rebuild!........and paint, the paint didn't last, we learnt from that tractor all these tractors except the 135 diesel get put back to work, its a trip to get the MF165 working hard, you just don't see it anymore, these people who do nut and bolt restores are too scared to get the tractor to do what really won them over in the first place, flogging their guts out on a rotary hoe, baler, or tarrup 502 double chop.......ha ha!.....now theres a site this is a pic of dad flying grass seed on to the steeper parts on the farm.........iseki 4451 on the trailer next pic is the IHI excavator with at attachment we built to take tractorloader attachments, worked ok for unloading lucerne balage when wrapping on site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 this is one of the TEA20's (the other one is the 8spd) and the pic of the 188 after dulux overhaul..........MP needs attention, and motor......but that one basically was brought, tidied cheap.......and isn't really a team player, grandfather never really got that one finished........

pudding Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 the trx400ex is a wonderful trial bike, pleasure to ride, built for taller people, the 250x was always a little small, if you want to keep up with the pack on a ride, do everything well........a 400ex is a good ride where as if you like me, just happy to be burning foosil fuel.......i can have fun on the atc70......ha ha!, every thing is a ideal trial riding bike when i get to playing with motocyclis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
