Our MF 50B is more manoeuvrable and easier to get in and out of than a neighbours similar aged 3C.

I think it's a project 7, the 8 was the first one with plastic mudguards.
Could be got with or without a turbo mine has no turbo, it's only missed on the road.
I reckon the parts are cheap for them , I nearly always buy genuine parts after a few bad experiences.
I gather that this model was the last of the relatively simple machines but they are now 25 years plus and finding a good one must be difficult.

That one is 1990 I've had it since 2001 ,clean ones are about but have a price tag to match.
Would that be a FAI , a Komatsu made under license in Italy ?If it's diggers, I've a few classics
Very like one, if not . Have only seen one in the flesh.

It says Moxy 180B on the loader, maybe FAI made them for Moxy as well?

I worked with an old jcb 3d rubber wheeled digger, it had an old leyland engine in it, never gave any bother apart from the odd burst pipe and nearly no brakes, used to have to drop the jack leg going down hills on the road to stop yourself from doing 40k, she was 8 ton, was brilliant for finding a soft spot in a field!
Worked with a 4wd 50hx Massey, was nice to drive, shuttle etc, only trouble was the back actor sat low to ground and if you went down at all the bucket was trailing like an anchor!

Yes fai.1986. Brown engineering used to import them. Think they used to import moxy trucks aswell. The last hymac 180 diggers were fai bagded hymacs
Do you mean fai diggers , but badged as Hymac?
Would that that have been the 121 track machine?
There was one bought new near here in 1990 , and it gave unbelievable trouble in 2 years , before being shifted on , when the owner retired.

Just found a picture of our old dexta on the Milennium road run, was our loader tractor before it got replaced with a 4000. 35 in background was also ours. And I photo of a grey fergie we owned
