I don't worry much I just thought it funny that some thought they could tell if a tractor would just by looking at a bad photo.
someone may put a photo of a nearly new vent up and for all you know if may not have any pistons or gears in the gear box but everyone would think that it ran fine and that it was cheap

It looks honest enough to me. Unloved but that's a different matter

When I gave up square baling I put the baler in a collective sale with a note on it saying it was in working order, used the year before and only for sale cos I was giving up square baling
I was stood behind a couple of lads when they read it, saying things like I bet it don't work and lot of old rubbish, I took great delight in putting them right on a thing or two

you never know who is listening or reading for that matter

about right

Vizslaman · Feb 15, 2016

I would much rather see an honest picture because you can then gauge how the vehicle has been treated. Yes that one looks like it has been unloved so anyone buying it should expect the rest of the vehicle to be in a similar state. i..e oils not changed regularly, filters chocked steering joints not lubricated. Taking all those things into consideration you can bid accordingly.

So thats what a tractor looks like when its been driven into the ground and treated like sh!t?

Some fools pay tens of thousands for tractors to pose in.
This one possibly does all that's required of it very well. Easy to repair and get parts for as well!

Some fools might spend thousands on a decent 595 and treat it poorly, run it into the ground, never park it under a roof, never wash it, never get round to welding the "cracked manifold" (as per advert), never get around to putting the screws back in the dash. It *might* do everything asked of it, but it would do it a damn sight better if it had been treated with just a bit of TLC over the years ...

How much said:
Just came across this add on ebay and i have to say this is the ugliest tractor i have ever seen afirst class dog , according the the add its a "reluctant sale" and "used every day" , some how mainly due to the moss and mould in the cab think they are being a little economical with the truth.

At least it's not been painted and its not from that well known Yorkshire perveyor of such quality used MF equipment but £2599 seem's a little optimistic.

If your up for challenge here is the link

595 turbo? The older 595 ( and 1080 ) tractors fitted with the Perkins 4/318 engine were notorious for blowing head gaskets. Stick a turbo on one and I am sure it wouldn't help matters.

@mtx.jag a good project for you

I think that kind of project is above me..but if I had the cash and time I'd buy it..

Hmmmm. Well, let's try and be generous then.

I quite like the exhaust, cab worklights and aerial at a jaunty angle. Must have been loved at some time......

No, there's nothing wrong with the photography......

Not a big fan of 500 Massey's, but its not dear, regardless
It would take a good long winter to sort it out, I'd say?

Don't be stressing about the painting @mtx.jag .......................
@multi power has it covered ...........
Mates rates ........

What's the cab like H?

SuperTwo · Feb 15, 2016

It could be worse it could look like this one I seen a few months ago :'(

Roy_H · Feb 15, 2016

One careful owner......but the rest couldn't give a f....... I knew the tinwork and those rubbish Italian cabs were prone to rotting on those but that is ridiculous!
