What plough would suit it best?

It depends on your land, how deep you want to go and of course the weather. I have pulled a 4 x 14" Kverneland MZ with a 168 and it handled it surprisingly well. I am sure a165 in good nick would pull a 4 x 12" comfortably in most conditions.

3 or 4 furrow Massey Ferguson

 

[Thomas5060]

As been said before it all depends on your ground type and how deep you need to go. We plough with 3 furrow 14inch KV behind a 265, usually about 3-6 inches deep and sometimes she knows it is there in some of the ground. Here's a 165 with 4 furrow, but ground doesn't seem to be heavy

Makes a difference when no autoreset and it is possible he is ploughing it one way?

Not only the chains, whoever it belongs to has obviously got some fetish about making the tractor look as cool as possible. Including having cleated front tyres on a tractor that isn't 4 wheel drive.

What do they say: Big feet - big............?
Reckon he has got one sticking out of his forehead too!

Big feet so therefore big socks and shoes?

There are still plenty of good star tankers about. Paint isn't that special on a lot of them but they're generally sound. Don't know if the steel was better or they didn't get as much use/abuse as tankers do now but they seem to outlast some other brands

How long since they stopped making them? Would it be 20 year yet? I'm sure they were still going in 95
