sparrow legs Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 a replie to my post marky, of corse i had a go, it was my plough nice 375 to drive, light on steering, simple gears (even thoe there are 3 sticks ) was sweet to drive for a budget type red tractor, ive also driven the later silver cabed ones but no real difference from memory wheels were set a bit wide for the plough to be fair. I had a go on all the tractor at the event, it was just a small group of friends so we all had ago on everyones machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a fan of the three sticks - some of the later 500 series had them (same machine I guess as a 575 really... skid wise)... sounds like a good day out... I wish I lived closer, I would bring my 410 up - I love the idea of a 'fun day' I'm not to hot on the 300 series.. but I don't think there was much difference in the red and silver cab... I think red was juist the first offering - anyone know any more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
