I guess at least you can see both forks…at the expense of everything else. It does however make a massey more interesting

Think they were sold by Parmiter at one time. Think made in France

I thought they were made around Bedford by someone. There was an article about them in classic tractor several years ago. There was a contracting outfit (Willpo?) who ran ads in the free farming press in the eighties who had a couple.

Can see a place for that for bale handling, half way to a telehandler.
Not much good as a loader though.

He was trying to sell it on ebay a while ago.
Was on a few Facebook group pages at the time.

unaware they were made near Bedford but I think I am wrong about a Parmiter connection after a bit of research

Parmiter had something called a Stretcha is think a normal loader that extended outwards as it was lifted by some mechanical means (My specialist subject Power Farming magazine 1970- 1990)

I bet that thing was a disaster waiting to happen ,,all the lift in one place and the stresses going down through the mountings ,,how long before it was twisted and the boom put a big dent in the nose end

Could be how massey came up with the concept of the sloped bonnet models?

Please note excessive use of red oxide on the front end…looks like it already happened!
