Why the switch from blue? first the MX now a fendt, soon it will be a JD.....

The Case was due to to cost. I wanted the TM but we couldn’t agree a price.I needed a 40k tractor for work coming up. The Case was the right price in budget that I had at the time. No other reason. It could of been any make.

The chap who was selling the TM was in a position 6 months later in which he had to sell so we agreed a price.

I grew up when I was little with the next door farm running 600 series Fendts / 515’s and MB 1300 - 1500. I sat in the cab with him when little. One day would also love a MB1500.

Will always been mainly blue though!

I’d cheerfully own any of them 👍
 
Guess 600kg. They were haylage. Got a skidsteer to try it and nearly went through front window.
We did have an adaptor plate on to use euro fitting bale handles, which would make a slight difference.
I got one of these. Stacks all the bales, feeds them out, can take bales to feeders in the field with hardly a mark, mucks out sheds etc and very manouverable. Wouldn't be without it

I don't have a shear grab but we have a 5ft muck grab which it handles ok. You may not get quite as much on as with a tractor but it's so much more manouverable you get on faster.
I don't know how much they are with a cab. That one was a demonstrator and was around £28k. A friend of mine got the next model up with a cab and I think it was £36k
