Can it handle that drill?

Yes,nicely around 8 to 8,5 mph. If faster,there is too much playing with gear sticks in a headlands. And not much power in reserve.
In hilly conditions more power is surely needed.

I'd expect a damn big boat for that kind of money. Stupid values.Boat anchors...
Oh no! if the man on here, who wants somebody else to spec a brand new Massey with all the bells and whistles, so he can get it for peanuts in 3 years,
will not be happy seeing those prices for classics...

A comment cannot be “substandard”, it is an opinion/ thought. It may not be one you agree with but such is a forum.

There is more to the farming life than riding around on modern kit all the time.
Why do we run working classics?
For some, it is because the modern kit is unjustifiable.
For others, it is because we know the faults/can put up with and can fix them without having to pay a fortune for a guy from the main dealer to come out and fix it with his laptop.
Then there is a huge reason, being that they are a pleasure to use and create not only interest but nostalgia too.
Here is one of mine being used in a perfect situation yesterday that kept me very happy all day!
This job didn't need one of our mainline tractors at double the horsepower clocking up an unnecesary hour.

World is free for opinions and ours can be opinion if you have been even driving one,but generally during my 20-years ownership i have been listening all kind of "specialist judgments" from people who have never seen Marshall 100 in a real life. Those comments are substandard bulls**t for me.

I’m posting from the situation of having a contracting business for 32 years and spending my working life on other people’s farms day in day out when all these Ford TW’s were on the large southern estates in there pairs and Your Marshall was bought new. The TW’s finished many estates relationships with Ford and Marshall buyers never repeated the move either.
