Ours has lost the paint off the bonnet above the silencer box. Shame they don’t make them like that now. Not sure how today’s tractors are going to fare once they’re 25 years old.

This one has had paint, only done 3700 genuine hrs when I bought it last year, probably paid too much at the time, but prices have risen considerably since, have spent a bit sorting the 4wd dog clutch, and turboing it, fitted front links and a decent set of tyres. It's 10 series reliability but being a powerstar engine ½ the fuel consumption !!
Should last me out

Father in law had an early 2wd 12speed with a Tb turbo,pulled well but was dangerous as it did 30mph.I'll never forget my bro in-law saying watch this as he set off forwards at full pelt then stuck it in reverse,it didn't last long.

Give over, haven’t dried all the sluther in the gateways from the last deluge and enough grass on the ground to get towards end of November if it will stay dry and let us get to it.

Getting desperate here, as dry as its been all year
Biggest admittance of defeat ever here tomorrow, open the pit

 

[I thats it]

We've just had 7 dry days in a row the first time since May.

Kin ell could do with a few more hours in the day, but months twice as long is pushing it

Sorry just re read it and it makes sense now
Although thinking about it if I had 50 odd days per month, I might actually get some bloody rain

Running out of grass here now, not due to lack of rainfall, just too many mouths to feed. Will open clamp for fresh calvers and Springs milking well.

I feel sorry for whoever is lifting maize using the harvester I passed at Okehampton this morning. This is heavy stuff now.
