Also are you Irish? I thought from Facebook you are on the mainland? But I find calling fertiliser tillage most peculiar

Yorkshire - gods country!

In fairness I normally call it fertiliser .... god knows!

I want to move to Yorkshire!
And collect tractors like you

ps I’m not your stalker

I don't recall ever seeing a Massey handler anywhere in the UK.

I do re badged bobcat on farm near me .

 

[Pilatus]

Good for you.
Doesn't take away the fact that, for £100K+, the New Holland's suspension is awful. So yes, for that size of tractor, with that price tag in 2021 they're bone shakers.
Comfort is not New Hollands strong point.

I wonder whether the new MF 8s series will be a comfortable ride on country lanes when towing a fully loaded 12tonne + grain trailer??
Thankfully I no longer drive tractors,but as said above for what tractors cost new , the ride in them still leaves a lot to be desired.
A shame the designers don’t put as much effort in to producing a tractor as comfortable as a truck on the road , as they do adding more and more electronics , digital this and that etc, etc.

But a truck is made for the road a tractor is predominantly designed for the field. Fastrac keeps getting mentioned as been very comfy the closest thing as a tractor designed for the road

When I was in Yorkshire it was called tillage

 

[Pilatus]

When I was in Yorkshire it was called tillage

When we lived in North Lincs fert was called tillage especially by older farmers.

I just don’t understand the derivation. Tillage is cultivations. Old people round here call it artificial which makes sense as it was originally called artificial manure.

When I was in Yorkshire it was called tillage

In my youth we called it tillage, Yorkshire folk here

 

[quattro]

It’s called manure up here!!

I'm no MF man but I had thought the S models were more recent. Doesn't look 2 years old. Hope its a good 1.

Last bit of my race system finally arrived to link to the weigh bars installed and the stick reader.

Looking forward to trying it out when I get time.
