Ag100, the odour of 2 stroke,and the 70 Series, vinyl floor mats, wind up windows, split rims and I think even no air cond, the perfect, proper 4WD

Odd how that type of ute (pickup) don't really sell over here.

What the 70 Series? I think you have some stupid law as to why they can't be sold in the UK/EU, then another stupid tax because of the 4.5 litre diesel, even if it has a torque curve like billiard table. Needs a "proper" deck on the back too.

Coincidence but I saw one in Hertford yesterday, with the rear deck too. First time I've seen one in the UK.

How much were they asking new?

No I mean any type. Virtually all our pickups have the standard rear loadspace unlike yours with dropsides.

That valtra

T234 like Ari has, but only 50k box, not 130k

I think they are about 65/70 ish.

Didn't think you'd be keen on that glass box where the rops should be.....

Oh , you mean the flat deck I'd never buy a ute with the standard deck as they are totally useless for work use.

Aye, they look at you a bit funny when you ask "Do they do this model with ROPS?"

 

[trook135]

you are making me far too jealous with your pictures of 70 series utes, if there was one truck i would swap the hilux out for it would be one of those!

Like the bike. Reminds me of the Honda Dad had when we were kids. Sadly (perhaps sensibly) long gone before we were old enough to ride it.
Could find a home for the attachment on the Massey loader too. Looks a much better job than bending the hardox tines on my muck grab loading things I shouldn't.

Are the larger Mahindra tractors their own design now, or essentially an older model from one of the major players under the skin?

I would really really like this, when I contacted suzuki, they said EU rules said they could not sell them here, sooooo

I might be wrong, but I think they are of their own design now.
