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

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

Prob better to get low houred 30 series in the size you want, then get the Derv doctor to remap it, disconnect the EGR valve bypass the EGR cooler pipe, swap the turbo for a fixed vane one and run it as a tier 2 engine. That way you get rid of all the unreliable stuff but get the better cab and comfort.

Yes neonic seed dressings for OSR, the annoying thing is that they are all still made but not available to UK agriculture. I wonder if they will miraculously re-appear once we leave the EU?

That's it was having a brain fart never been any good with names. I can't see it happening it more likely we will lose more actives as time goes on.

One of those pivot steer Matbro Mastiff / Ford Major contraptions that went for £82,000 at Cheffins last week.

TBH, what I'd like hasn't/ doesn't really exist. I'd like a Ford 7810, with Powerstar engine, plus some sort of electric forward/ reverse shuttle ( not powershift gearbox though ).

Closest you'll get to that is an 8160 dual command.

Dont tempt me, I have a 1255xl now, but one day I will have one of these, not got the dosh at the moment, but one day

Would you not open her out to 1455 spec?

Only memory i have of them is by the time you got that shitty briggs n stration going to knackerd to hump bales !

One of my first grown up jobs was taking my Morris1000 pickup to collect a new BS engine for the Lister as the old one was c*ap. Fixed it all up, jobs a good un, only to find the new one was no better than the old one '
If they still made Morry pickups, though, I'd have one of them.

Wrong, I had one.
They should bring back Subaru pickups though.

But rustproof them properly and fit the current diesel motor and a 5 or 6 speed gearbox or even better a auto version.......

Newcastle draining shovel. A bit wider and longer than modern draining shovels, and very useful for tidying out the bottom of a ditch behind the 360. Never been able to find a replacement for our old worn out example. 6" wide, about 14" long blade with a long handle.

Good call, I had forgotten about them and I'm a bit of a Subaru fan. What we really need is a smaller pick up than the monsters around today.

Different engines in them.
1455xl has more capacity.
