That's annoying as hell. Had it myself till i took over the reigns. Now its more like why didn't we get this bloody thing years ago it makes the job so much easier and quicker. Thats with several things i had on the wish list.

Yea most of the one imported into ireland pre 1980 had a very big roomy cab. Was quite comfortable. After that they seemed as if they changed to the same tight rattling, tight cabs as the 135 and 165 were fitted with.

Nope, spot on at 50k. Beem clocked by cars more than once. The car owners were usually other 956xl owners. Boy the look on their face does be priceless when you open her out. Before anyone asks she is all standard, pump not turned up, standard wheels for her and everything. Bought her from a...

I know and its not even turboed. Apparently there was only a few ever made thar way. I only ever seen one more. Most would be 30k at best.

Bestwe ever had to be a universal 550 super that my father bought new in 1978. Ran it to over 20000 hours before letting it off (one very sad decision ) Next would be a case 956 xl 50kmh box. Stil have her. Brilliant tractor. worst was the dreaded David Brown 1210. Fluffing useless peace of...

Thought they say if its not green leave it in the shed. Jee whiz you think he'd of found a clean river at least too was it.

Yes the 640 universals never just seemed as good as the smaller ones for their size. The one we had also had the shuttle. When they got much wear their was a bar in the box used to break. It only cost something like £12 for the bar but you had to split the tractor to do it. After three times we...

In Ireland if i could get the work done at the rates you fellas are quoting, i would sell my tractors and let the contractor do all my tractor work.

Yea they were cheap as chips in there day. Very very underestimated and never really seemed to be as popular as other brands. Think a lot of it had to do with the men who got the dealerships.

What sort of coin would you be thinking.could you send some pics. Not exactly what i was thinking but anythings possible with me.@Llewellyn93

What model is she @Wheatonrotty

Unfortunately most of these tractors weren't big enough and fancy enough for most working lads when they took over farms. They wanted something bigger and lit up like a christmas tree. (Myself included) this led to most of them been exported back to Romania or over to Africa in the latter...

Had a 640 two wheel drive here for about 10 years. Thanks @pycoed. She'd be a good tractor to pull that one would.

Never even heard off them ones with the same size wheels front and back @pycoed. Learn something new every day,
