Currently on lookout for a replacement for our 4100, something flat deck cab, 2wd. Would like a Ford or Massey but will probably get something like a 85XL Series Nash in better condition for similar money to a clapped out ford or massey. Not too fussed on make, condition will be more important. Whats out there? Haven't came across anything on my online searches. Any suggestions on models to look for? Have been looking at 885, 1394 etc. Marshall 702 any good?

Some of the older Renault seem to be priced okay.

Most Marshall will have a poor cab for rot. Renault parts should be OK. Ashfield and Wilson about dungannon

You are so going to regret that, it will be worth double in 6 years time.

Everyone said that when I sold a fiat 100.90 I said ok I will keep it you come and drive it , they change their tune at that point , never regretted selling as much as I enjoyed it at the time.

Using a couple of bits of older kit stoning some tracks so the horsey lot don't lose their fancy wellies in the knee deep gloop

Yeah its quite tidy, fully rebuilt cab not so long ago, could do with a wash and a little spruce up again where its been used this winter but overall good. So handy to have

Never seen a 3C with an extending dipper - must be one of the last?

Is it a 3c2 or 3c3?

AndersonAgri · Jan 15, 2021

Its a 1978 3c III, It is fitted with the Brockhouse Torque converter, 4 in 1 bucket and extra dig. I'd struggle to not have it with extra dig now its so handy saves a lot of moving about, i'm not sure how many were made like it i know of at least 2 others, but definateltly up there with the more luxury and rarer spec.

Got some muck out today, can shift some muck with the right gear, big bucket on the loadall fills her in 3 buckets.

If it doesn't rain too much tonight will give the new to me tanker a go tommorow

700 gallon bigger than the old one, should speed things up a bit for the far fields.
I've kept the old Pichon for the Hillier fields. Big difference in the center of gravity !

A friend has/had a 3c 111 the same as yours, minus the cab (rot and a stormy night)
Last time I saw it, it was semi permanently parked by the side of his slurry pit/midden used to load a west spreader with a 3ft bucket on the back acter.

AndersonAgri · Jan 15, 2021

Thing is you can pick them up pretty cheap if you get it right, and there are some appauling conditioned ones out there for sale shame to see them abused so much. Cabs rotted out pretty quick good old british engineering, i'm lucky that i got one that was all up together and in good condition that wasnt too good to not put to work. be a fair tool for loading a west if in the right place
