You have probs seen the pic of the 1200 on the 717 chopper. The old man isn't here these days to confirm but I'm quite sure the 1200 and a 290 and poss a 590 all had TB turbos fitted.

We still use a 1200 with a twin leg sub soiler for pulling up tram lines.We also pull four furrow Dowesdwell dp7 plough.
The tractors in great original condition with only 3500 hours on the clock.
