Classics Earning their keep.

[40 series]

Had it since 2008, when it replaced a 3650 and its been an absolutely fantastic tractor.
Was blown away how well it pulled, considering it was supposed to only be 10hp more than the 36.
Had it dyno'd last year.....and its 35hp more than the 3650
Looked at several disappointing examples and then came across this one being sold off an estate.
Had extra scv's that I needed and some other options, including TLS.
Had never driven a tls before and when you've had a life time of back troubles, that makes a big difference.
I bought a 6410 a few years ago, to put a loader on and that's been an absolute pleasure to own.

Dinner time for classic driver.

 

[FG.]

Maybe there should be a 'classic machinery earning their keep' ?.
Anyway I've just acquired my third Scammell, ex brs trailer today, to join my other classic Salop and Nelson trailers.
Duals all round, not silly weight for 26ft and peanuts money.

Already got a couple of 28ft ones

For anyone who doesn't know, this was the Scammell quick coupling.

Picked this up tonight, unseen online auction buy, Fleming Slemish Super 1000. £350 so thought it was worth a punt. Hopefully get a shaft on it tomorrow night and see if it runs Don’t have much slurry so should do our job, and will suit any of our tractorsView attachment 1000722
