Is that an MF 250? Looks in really tidy condition, cab doesn’t look quite like a standard Lambourn as fitted to most 250’s?
Yes its a 250 with a Sankey cab although we made the cab roof ourselves as the original was rotten.
Only 6 that not many is it?

Okay, I'll let you off. It seemed to be more, but you obviously manage their online presence well to maximise the hit. I'm jealous, that's all.
Well we have 4 Marshalls although one is in bits and 2 small Masseys.Okay, I'll let you off. It seemed to be more, but you obviously manage their online presence well to maximise the hit. I'm jealous, that's all.

But you have a tractor for every job don’t you? A lot to be said for being able to leave the best suited tractor hitched onto a given implement, so you just jump on and go and get the job done. This is especially so with things that can take time to hitch up or are awkward to put on.
Yes handy at this time of year when were making hay and haylage. Was going to put the Haybob on our 230 but the water pump has gone so handy to have a backup.

I agree, but I have only the one! For the time being.
What have you got?

I think we should start a thread called 'what tractor should new puritan have next' i bet there would be quite a few good suggestions as to what to buy to compliment the JD

I think @Selectamatic has a view on that, one that I share. I'm a newcomer (ish) to farming and so have come in without prejudice on particular makes, but I have not enjoyed the Ford's gearbox so far.
I never worked out the gearbox on the david browns i drove on one farm. (990 and 996 but mostly 996) The stick on the right had 1 2 3 R and iirc that was pretty standard ans easy. But there were 2 levers near the floor on the right and it depended how they were either one up one down or both up or both down whether it was in 1 2 3 or 4 and i never did get it. Would be fine if the stickers hasnt rusted off

310 and not a miss, she is running sweet.
