If they still made it ........

Not sure if this has been covered before?

What machines would you buy again if they were still available. I'll start it off.

Case 51 maxxum range. Super reliable, technologically advanced when introduced over 20 years ago. Still run a 5130 and does everything I want it to, and still enjoy driving it. If I could buy a new 5150. I'd buy one tomorrow!!

Case mx 110. Cummins engine. Sorted.

 

[FonterraFarmer]

1997 TRX400, the one I've got now is 20 years old, so if I got another new one now, it will be the last one I'd have to buy.

Ford 7810, used to drive a J registered one. Beast of a thing that would pull a house down and a roar that could be heard for miles!

 

[Drillman]

Unfortunately I'm rarely in a position to buy anything new, so don't know how stuff of yesteryear compares to this new fangled stuff of today.

Would like a few factory fresh New Holland TMs though

NH 8340 or a TM155

Lister elevator

I have one that I use for logs off my splitter. Brilliant machine now it has a Loncin instead of B&S.

Lister elevator

As a student used these many a time and they saved a lot of hard work!! Used to jump on and ride up to the top of the stack too!! Highly irresponsible looking back











Only joking

my only memories of the lister elevator was my dad making me drop 2 million small bales of hay after school and on a weekend onto it, my legs getting shredded my face itching like I had sheep scab and the Briggs engine being permanently shagged

A new ih 574 hydro, the one I've got now has been revived last year but it's like a tank, if just keeps going. Nimble, fast , light, and a cracking shuttle gearbox that was decades before its time.

I often think JD should build a limited edition 'heritage' line of tractors. I wonder how difficult it would be for them to do.

Case 1056 got it second hand with 2450 hour on ran till 10000 plus then sold it. Great tractor plus a great sound track from the exhaust just open the door windows as listen to it pulling

They could easily built the transmission and cab but the engine would have to meet the current emissions legislation which would be a waste of time as the engines of the day were the thing we remember most fondly.

Maybe they could skirt that somehow? Sell them as secondhand

Not a chance , legislation is so tight on this, even to import anything now the rules in place to be able to register in this country are emissions dependant I believe.
There were challengers impounded at the dock because the engines did not meet the required emissions regulations
