No room for an in-house exhaust up along the side .....................
That's a nice MF50, might even be a 50B would it?
Torque or gears?

Lad in Wexford has loads of stuff for them. apparently ......

Mine is just the standard gear box, not torque.

I bet you want the moon on a fudging stick too......

No... I’d drown.

I’d make do with a bank error in my favour of £1,000,000, though

She’s a credit to the original owner. I picked it up as you see it, I just did a few minor repairs and intend sprucing up the inside of the cab a bit this year. I think it came from the south of England originally, not sure how long it has been in NI.

“SH” number plate would suggest it originates from the Scottish Borders.

if you ever get chance to drive a mf 1100 or 1135 you will be amazed how tight they can turn,correct 76 masseyman ?

I was brought up driving an S reg MF 1155
that was a real tractor
we had to put tubes in front tyres as if you turned to sharp it pushed tyres off rims and let them down spent its time pulling a 260 MF chopper in the summer side loading into 16ft trailers couldnt pull the skin off rice pudding on grass but on soil it would pick up the front wheels pulling a trailed leveler big wide good year tyres
Still have tyres on rims for spraying golf courses they were nr balled when knew
Heck s reg tractor tyres must be 40 years old

My dad had one of the fist Zetor 4wd. He said it had a turning circle of a boat but would work when others couldn’t.

@Tomtrac , was the 1155 new to you ?

And that 2720 looks to have rear mudguard extension. Not seen those before, except on some in Germany.

 

[mixed breed]

Not sure if they fit the title but none of them are particularly new

Looks nice green hay.

Looks nice green hay.

It was part of a field that got too strong for the cows , so barred it off and was going to just put it in the pit with first cut. Then decide to make it into hay....I has a lot of leaf in it, will be used in the winter for store lambs

Quite surpring that, for an area I wouldn't normaly associate as a big arable area. Maybe I need to look around more when next in the area, or was it more to do with powering forage harvesters as you did.
Only one 1155 was sold into North Lincolnshire, to a large dairy farm near me. It's main occupation was to drive a forager too. It was traded in at a local MF dealer, in the early 90's, and was purchased by a collector from Holland.
A few more of the smaller 1135's were sold around here.
