The size was ideal for our area and I got a great deal of my local dealer who has the best back up service I’ve experienced plus I reckon they are probably the only machine that fella got right!!
Do keep us posted on how it performs. Our local MF dealer has similar ones at his yard and i quite like how they look.

Yes all working ,lights ,winkers , front axle and steering all tight , all cladding ,seat in cab all good ,
used to have one of them sold it a few years ago, was super tidy tin work wise but them nash engines are gash, the perkins ones where much better.

was a quick tractor on the road too, with working ta!

i often thought they were ahead of their time for the year with torsion bar on the top link as a damper, sleeker gear selector (dont laugh) etc vs mf's offering of same year they were a much nicer tractor.

heres the pic i used to sell it!

This arrived last week from Poland.
We’ve been using more and more seed ‘off the heap’ but sometimes it’s not clean enough to go through the drill. This was much cheaper than anything available in the UK. I’ve got a couple of tons of beans to run through once we’ve got it set up ... I’ll post some more photos then.

It's quite a simple system. It separates by weight. The seed is trickled down in front of an airstream, which then blows it across the machine. The heavy stuff drops first, the chaff goes right across. You use the product from the middle 2 or 3 chutes as your seed. You adjust the airflow according to crop type. There are videos on youtube, alistonagro is the make. This is an ALS 10. As I said, it's not set up yet, we need to put it on a platform so we can get a seed bag under the outlets.
