Great articlesAh i think you are a classic tractor columnist ?
6400 was going to be replaced with a 6420 but dealer was bit lazy getting back to my uncle with price so he went with mf 5460 instead, really a shame on dealers part if acted quicker he could got a sale!Had one it just kept going and going took it to nearly 13000 hrs alongside a 3050 which got to more hrs but can't remember how many . Sold them both at auction and they are still going strong .
Still got the small scale potato kit, all the beet production kit, haymaking, silage and combinable crops kit.
Last week we added a 5 furrow plough and 4m power harrow and a mint MF30 that was too good to turn down.
Also couldn't resist a tidy Standen Cyclone Mk4.
Need to build yet another shed to hold it all.
I like machinery. Well some of the time. Storing crops and housing livestock and farming generally is just a nuisance that gets in the way of a good machinery collection.
