Rodney Cowle in Devon.

I’ve not looked at the tyre size, but I think they’re 16.9/34

Mega bucks last time spoke to him

 

[Cab-over Pete]

It wasn’t cheap but it seems very straight. He put new cladding in the cab and while here delivering it this morning he said he would stand by it until we’ve got it working over Christmas to make it sweat.
Starts and sounds lovely, gears easily selected, clutch will stall it, all the lights work.
I recently bought a 3f KV reversible plough my Dad used to own. We’ve been working on that and will get it hitched on over Christmas to give her a work out.
Dad used the plough on a MF 290 but I never did like that tractor much so didn’t fancy owning one.

This is the three stick model with a 3 speed main gearbox.

Don’t think I’ve ever driven the 8 speed type. Maybe at college years ago.

Nice them 300 Series. Remember a mate working for a contractor and he had 2 390Ts on the silage trailers. If they were full and no trailer waiting it would be barked down the CB to bounce the trailer down to fit another swath in..

Them were the days....

If you didn't have to steer with the independent brakes then the trailer wasn't loaded properly!

13x7 Woods, a cracking trailer. Years ago we converted it into a dump trailer, currently converting it back to dropside
