would this not do your job well,


get rid of those fat tyres, put 480’s on it instead, put a US style quick hitch on the linkage, it’d be perfect for me

it even says “cotton” on the bonnet 🤣

I'm wandering what they would give to take back a jd6610 against it🙄Shame it's not on slightly bigger tyres, come on you know you can once DC give you extra ppl😁

If I didn't have a house to build I would be on the phone! Glad to see my 2 are gaining value!

Edit....

Just did a bit of digging about that 714. It was local to me and apparently has been resprayed as was very rusty. It's had issues with handbrake sticking on and brakes binding. If you are interested in it make sure it's all sorted!!

All of that would put me right off, it will have had sea salt in air down your way I guess? Rust is a sod for working through in later life.
Have you touched the Vaio's on either of your"s out of interest?

Fair chance the hand break issue was a tiny stone caught in the mechanism on the top of the rear axle on the right hand side. Was a very common issue here with tiny flints. If so it’s nothing to worry about

Yes it came from a home close to the sea.

Never touched a Vario but I am the only person that uses them and I drive them reasonably carefully. I also change the transmission filters and oil regular for peace of mind.

Not mad at all. My office is a 12 plate 936 with 8500hrs and touch wood not had any major issues. Most worrying thing we had was when she lost drive on me, it took the dealer about a week of head scratching as all the gearbox testing was showing no faults, turned out to be an actuator which they had changed but for one off the shelf which was also faulty :rolleyes:. Done a bearing on the rear lift cross shaft which was less painful than it looked but that's about it. Cracking tractors and pull like trains.

fwiw I would rather spend my time in it than most other makes new models.
