I’d forgotten how good they were/are.
Bloody uncomfortable down a bumpy track, but a good old workhorse, nonetheless.
I bet the New ones aren’t as reliable. I have a friend who has one and it certainly isn’t. But he is a dairy farmer!

Sold ours last September with over 200000 miles on it, getting expensive to put it through mot we thought by the end, rear tub rotten trough, bushes, and so on, but chassis like new on it. It's still going strong though, the bloke who bought it put an mot on it.

Flat as sh!t, but I did enjoy driving it.

Was JCB the only manufacturer to put a cab on the right of some of their models ?

I think some of the early Hymacs were. I must admit, I keep going to get in the other side.

Please excuse my ignorance but why does it have 3 wheels like that?

Helps balance it out. Being 6row there is 2 out one side of the tractor and 1 row the other side. It can nose dive a bit on that side. I'll put up some more pics.
That hoehas been converted to 3point linkage to go on the front of my tractor.

Thanks @carbonfibre farmer - that makes sense. I'm about to put some hoes on my tractor and the front mounted ones I have just bought have a third wheel among the heap of spares so was wondering if I needed to add it.

Is yours an after market 40k kit like mine? My 885 is actually 2wd under the silly wheels so she moves now on the big wheels.

Not quite 40k. Those rears same size as the 16.9 34 that I put on recently. Originally on 13.6 38s from new anyway.
Dual power so does tick along fairly.
There was a 40k option for them but never seen one.
