Modern classics of the future

[melted welly]

60s didn't have cab suspension and early ones were slow on the road so they're not as desirable as TMs. Having said that the 60s had a bigger diesel tank, seemed to have more power when tweaked to the limit and used less diesel.

I was (un)lucky enough to have a while on an 8260 fitted with prototype cab suspension back in the day, pulling a conventional square baler. Never been seasick on a tractor before or since.

Sorry just seen previous post.

TM's are well received, and 60 series should be no different really. There's not one bit of Ford ancestry in either of them

What about the 7.5L Powerstar Engine which was carried over from the 40 Series, plus there are quite a few other bits such as Cab and other components

MF 8220-8250 with dyna 4

That will be the excellent Dynashift 32 speed gearbox - the 16 speed dyna4 was only fitted to the smaller 5400 series onwards afaik.
