Bombproof old bus to pull 6 furrows.

[ricdog]

We brought it from ripon farm services last year

It was our old one.
We bought it in 2010 and we were the third local owner of it.

How many hours?

Impressive. Didn’t cost much. 20ac a day? Or nearer 15? I hope he had a cap....

15 on the steep, 20 on the flat.

Great advantage of TVO power in the good old days of the open deck was all that heat coming back from the engine - just don't get that with a diesel.

Chap I mentioned did as much as two others working together locally, one with a D4 and 6f, the other with a D2 and 5f, who always both spent quite a lot of their day warming up in the shepherd's hut.

Bomb proof, not incendiary bomb
I did love my old 155/65 she pulled 5 mounted or 6 semi mounted and I will be the first one to admit that she had probably done 2 hard lifetimes of work before I got her but she certainly wasn't without her issues.

I didn't have 6 furrow mounted to try. They were a really well set up tractor for heavy implements.

Ha , small world , the chap from ripon said it had always been local ,
Will only do about 100 hrs a year with us now

Ha , small world

Just wish I could come to an amicable arrangement with the chap who bought my old 6499 in 2013.

Letting that one go was possibly the most important of all in a career strewed with some serious mistakes.
