Big A

[Mr Happy]

Does any body have or know where there might be a Big A for sale. I have a customer who has a project which requires a Big A or similar machine.

@Cab-over Pete is the man in the know about them.

 

[Mr Happy]

Thanks for the info not sure if he has one for sale but might know a man who might. I am aware is man in the know as he writes for Classic Tractor magazine and have spoken to him once or twice.

You can buy my whole fleet if I get much more hassle!!

Sad to here you are having loads of hassle, will we get to here about it in CT magazine soon?

My customer is looking for a Big A 2800.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

A bit of a wreck or a really good one?

Knowing my customer pretty well as we have supplied several hydraulic items over the last few years for his current Big A 2800 and knowing what he may require the second machine to do. I think a nice tidy machine would best with good engine and transmission as he will need to convert the hopper and spinner deck to spread the proposed material. I think from what I have read in C T magazine you run more than one Big A. If think you may have a possible machine for sale I will ask him to contact you after he has finished lime spreading at the end of September.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Ok, thank you.

 

[Hurdle bunter]

Any chance of you posting some pics of your fleet Pete?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Thanks for asking HB.

Trouble is I don't have many on the 'pooter. I've got a few and I'll see if I can get a minute to post some. Keep thinking it would be nice to get a good photographer to take some working one day but never seem to get round to it.

Might take me a day or two!'

 

[Chae1]

be a fine chance to get rid of that one with dodgy transmission!

 

[Cab-over Pete]

That machine is enough to make me cry.

Got her singing along this season, absolutely A1 in all respects.

Then I go and drop the rear wheel in a hidden culvert and bend all the diesel tank brackets. Sick as a pig doesn't even cover it.
