Just goes to show with proper maintenance some machines will go forever. I keep telling my lads to service the machines properly

Not a truer word said
And they need to have some feeling for the tractor and machine also instead off ragging the a—s off everything
It takes no time to walk around checking bolts etc and you can catch a lot off things before they break /fall off

A thousand apology’s
As i said small screen on phone i ran 8340 and 7840s i thought the pick up hitch rods and top link bracket look like the other make
I had a 390 mft on demo in the eights i was well impressed with it on the silo pit as a loader and then using it as a spare tractor when they started doing the new holland version i didnt get my hands on one
Think they are like hens teeth now
Always takes me back when i follow a MFT mounty on the rear off a artic trailor on the roads
I will try and digg a photo out of demoView attachment 727314sorry atch not open i had this before i will try to fix if i can remember
