Nah. I've got a NH TM it covers the ground easy without any help











provided it either hasn't leaked all the electricity out of the battery again or I can remember where I left the jump leads!

Nah. I've got a NH TM it covers the ground easy without any help Just as well cos if I relied on the French tractor it would take forever.

Sat here wondering,,,been to cheffins again today to collect the unsold 4 cyl 35....in the last 7 days ive clocked up best part of 300 miles of road work with the 1494....its certainly took the edge off the new tyres we fitted a few weeks ago

Couple of years ago we fitted new tyres to our TM135. First job it did was plough 100 acres with a mate of mine driving. I nearly cried when I realised what it had done to the tyres. they looked like Edward scissor hands had attacked them.

Luckily these are BKT crossplys...i paid 250 for the pair of 13.6/38s...they had been used for one day since they were fitted new...

given the road work im doing now with the low loader, they will be bald in 1000 hrs time

What p.issed me off even more today was the 35....it sat at cheffins all day saturday, its a 4cyl....once i had managed to coax it into life, i left it running all, and i mean all day

First attempt at reversing it up onto the low loader...guess what....it ran out of diesel!!!!!

Enter stage right a Cat teleporter and set of 4 brother chains to lift the poxy thing onto the trailer!!!

However...the 100% genuine, complete with brass factory plate ferguson single furrow deep digger plough that i entered for him, made it to £250!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was in the catalouge next to my 1390

Its clean enough, tinwork has been painted, but its aged nicely now...just needs that poxy rollbar taking off it

Oh, and its a typical 4 cyl....its a c**t to start, but once its going, it runs like a peach

Not my cup of tea....id rather the sound of a 3 pot DB, what bursts into life within a few turns of the engine, than the constant winding, swearing "come on you b*stard" and heating you get with the 23c lump (of shite)

Not had mine starting off the key yet, needs re wiring, but it seems to pull well, black smoke to, never seen that from a massey before

John if you like the little 3 pots DBs so much, you can have mine. I would like it to go to a good home.

Picked this up the other week, customer wants me to do a full mechanical overhaul on it, so he can use it to run his grain drier

Folks mite find it interesting.

And risk the wrath of an antipodean valtra fan, a spaniel what likes wearing hats and some bloke who invented an over sized pencil sharpener

Good idea/bad idea?
