Yes I believe the Massey 6290 was a superb tractor that combined power with plenty of modern features and above all, reliability. Also those little Subaru 4WD pick ups were amazing little things that could often go where Land Rovers just sank, and also had a sensible low loading height; rather than these enormously oversized and cumbersome crew cab pick ups with private numbers plates that everybody seems to own nowadays.

Excellent buses. Fixable on farm. Think modernised defender but with creature comforts and better economy. Good tow vehicles too.

Just watch out for tin worm
