I'd say nearer or more like double that! But thanks anyway.

This reminds me of somebody I know who went on Antiques road show. The Beeb scouts round all the big houses trying to find something interesting to put on the show.

So they select this chap's Secretaire desk and ask him to bring it along. The chap does so, but is disappointing that John Bly isn't the guy who will evaluate it, but some you whippersnapper, fresh out of Antique college.

You know how everybody is surprised who much their antiques are worth? Not so this time:

The guy says the Secretaire is Venetian and worth a few thousand pound.
So the chap says "I think you'll find young man that it is Maltese and worth SUBSTANTIALLY more than that!"

The only person ever to have done so!!!!!

7 grand for a ford 4100 ! That's just ridiculous

Probably the best digger/loader ever made, nothing else has ever been made with the reach it has at the rear, even the pads are made to stop side sliding.

How good was that cab before she went topless as going buy wings it must have been fairly good.

Yes was a decent enough cab....low lofts unfortunately in some areas of the farm

3050 earning its keep getting feed out back end of last week. Still started on half a turn, no heat even in the depths of the cold. Not bad for a machine approaching 30 years old. Engine never been touched

Shame the roll cage was cut as it makes the cab useless for any other tractor.

There's always people looking for good cabs for 550s as they don't get exported like the bigger ones in the range so no cabs kicking about

Tell me about it I am one of them. Unfortunately a welded roll cage does not tick my safety box.

Possibly a little much for the little ford but we still got the job done.

Doubt the cab will be going anywhere or the tractor for that matter . Works 365 days a year...will be here until it's worn out

Spreading slurry tonight, 2000 gallon redrock on my 7610
