The landquip tank dates from 1994 so could well be, I think more or less the only 380 sprayer they did, originally it was just a rear mounted boom if that sounds familiar?
The 312 has 3950 hrs, genuine. It was in a Cheffins sale at Bristol when they sold a row of almost unused tractors.
The 395GHA has 1500 on this clock which I fitted as the LED tacho gave up, I have the original clock which was at 6500hrs.

Our "new" machine.... Fahr (1982), engine Mercedes :)


Would think its more like 1962 as it looks very similar to the trailed Fahr M60T. Would not surprise me if it was a trailed modified to become a self propelled. Certainly the self propelled Fahr M60 did not have an engine sticking out like. Only reason I know a little about them is that I have been looking for a trailed M60T or M66T for quite a while but they seem to be getting quite rare.

Just found a Fahr MDL which looks very similar with manufacturing dates 1958 to 1964 which makes sense to me.

Great pics! I drove a 4240s for a while. Always intrigued what difference the "s" meant
The 4240s was later model it had same 7.6 litre engine but with turbo and slightly more power 132hp instead of 128hp and mechanical front wheel drive instead of hydraulic, apart from that I think virtually identical.

I can’t remember if it just had rear mounter booms or was a rear mounted 1,000 litre tank with booms.
However, I can only remember one tank ever being made and fitted to a tool carrier.
Richard Abbott at Landquip would tell you.
