probably due to the loss of hearing from driving the 5000

The 5000 was so much quieter than the 4000 and when we got a preQ 6600 in early 1976 my Dad was so pleased with its much quieter cab

B250 has a flat grille - that one is curved. No hole in the middle on the B250 either

Always liked the 7710 over the 7610ap we have here. My silage contractor and his brother would buy them cheap at cheffins sale, used to be able get a good tidy original french one for £3-4k. A great tractor on the silage trailers. His brother once bought a 6710, but the engine went porus, so put a 7710 engine in it, by Christ it could pull, especially as it was on 34 and 24 wheels instead of the 38/28 wheels of the 7710. Always fancied a 6710 with a turbo, but not many about. Seen this one on the net, would make a nice stable mate for the TW15, but to many farming priorities for my cash ATM, and it's in Denmark

How many hours has she done,and what do you think she is worth? (or what would you sell her at?)

Unsure on hours but judging by wear in back end its believed to have been around the clock a couple of times. Couldnt ever sell owes me too much had a lot of money spent on it, new clutch, input shaft, recon dual power, recon gearbox, new pto gears, new brakes, pretty much whole new backend after it completely exploded a couple of years ago. New roof and full rewire recently as well after the roof blew off last winter going down the road.. Tractors cursed!
Goes well though, reached 30.5mph today and averages around 28 on the flat so real nifty

I'm not sure as I had it done when it was in, I paid a local engineer to do the work. All I know is animals have been near it before, when the brake discs were worn instead of replacing they wedged a worn down 40series brake disc inbetween
which subsequently wore the inside of the trumpets our which meant I had to have 2 replacements 
love hate with this tractorIt's an MTZ 5. As in a Belarus.Anybody know what make this is?
