Looks like you could do with some new wings on the old girl.

There's nothing to attach them to anymore, cabs falling apart with rust

Last job before it goes on the straw chopper for the winter. The only other thing it does these days Is roundbale with a RP12 which we've had since 1990. I don't remember the hedgecutter arriving hereView attachment 838324View attachment 838325

Similar to my outfit, but mines a 7610 and a left hand cut, cabs in the same condition though.

I learned how to drive a tractor on a 65. A lovely tractor to drive. maybe it wouldn't outpull a Fordson Major but so much more "refined" somehow.

Certainly not a lugging tractor like the major, but the engine and hydraulics are as good as any modern day machine.

We had a 233 HD on our pig unit brand new back in 1990 got swapped for a 245 hdk which we still have today. The 233 had a lovely sounding six cylinder kubota but ate head gaskets! Always ran hot! Ours was road registered in 1992 K299 BUJ from memory.

Have this Crawler / Tractor trailer for sale, if anyone interested. Would require new floor timbers.

Yes ours runs very nice. We going to convert the face plate to euro 8 so we can use our other attachments.

That was when proper horses of just 230hp could pull 7.

Easily. Pulls more when goings good

Neighbour of ours pulled 7 and a press with an early 8100 for years and often in some pretty marginal conditions . Now he has 10 and no press on a 500+ Hp quad track .

Several 4955’s and 4650 / 4850’s around here in their day with a minimum of 7 furrows no problem, some more.
Tractors long gone, but the 4 and 500hp tracked replacements only pull similar sizes.
Thought I was king of the hill when I had chance to be on a 49, and pleased to see yours has the proper exhaust position. Great tractors.
