If I remember right I think they were pretty good deals on the later ones just to get rid of them. I think I still have a copy of the quote from when we changed somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it out!!

Are you near Brigham by any chance @mph04 ?? I recognise the turbine in one of the pictures and realise you must be lower than the wold tops looking at the lack of flints in the soil. Smart bus I must say I get to Brigham/Wansford area a bit through the year wouldn't mind taking some pictures of it working.
we are between wansford and Skerne so you where close
no no wold land here just water and clay lol
your very welcome to come and take some pictures any time after I get done ploughing this week it will be sat most of the time until baling time I use it on the baler subsoil plough mainly
yes shes pretty tidy Im getting bigger mirrors for her and in time it needs a new nose cone as its been damaged at some point but been fixed but not so well but with these hours on her be hard to find anther like it

bloomin eck I hand realised that much reading the thread .
well done
was that plough new ? very impressive sir
Stupidly we actually went for the magnum that time as we felt we needed something a bit bigger. Think the other two would have been a better buy tho!!

I've never seen a hand written quote looking so tidy! Very modern for its day using the @
. 'Funny' to go through prices from the past and consider how much we are getting shafted these days with cereal prices and yields unchanged still at times. Was speaking to a farmer who told me a tale that he had opted against a Silver Jubilee 7810 to go for the regular blue one. Expensive mistaka to maka.yes the plugh was new last year I like the plough very much dose a nice job and new price was not that bad

Where abouts are you from this is a quote from our local dealer this area was full of Ih tractors and matbros at that time. I think you made the right desision to have the magnum, we all love the 1255,1455 the sound mainly but they are old now with manual box where as the magnum was a lot more modern with power shift. There's a magnum local to us is an L reg he bourght it new and it still one of his main tractors now
Yes it was from Kirbys of market Harborough & Thrapston. We are at Hargrave, not far from Thrapston.
We have had many IH machines over the years but switched to JD after the magnum [emoji85]
not on my1455 shes not spent much time out side over the years im second owner first was RAF was never road registered until I brought it
I wanna re spray the side panels at some point as got some road chips etc on them

You swine I've always wanted one of them, classic that looks and works like a proper tractor and not made of plastic
