You got another one of the tractor ? From that photo it doesn't look massively different from our antique 390, have massey seen the light and gone back to basics ? (bearing in mind I know feck all about tractors, the 390 is the only model I have ever owned, and you're probably about to embarrass me by showing how it's totally different !).

I think your thread title 'new toys' may leave a few of the diesel heads on here disappointed lol. You've done well to find one, i've had 4 over the last 30 years, they getting rare now.

Well, it will be Sod’s law that July will be the wettest on record after buying all that hay making machinery

I hope I’m wrong

We had 160mm rain in June, compared to the normal 60-70mm... July had better be dry!!

Grew up driving 390’s. “My” tractor when I was a boy was an M reg one with a 12/12 shuttle gearbox. Bloody loved it was as happy as a pig in muck.

M 187 REF if anyone happens to know where it is?!!

This is my new to me 390. Super bit of kit, it beds the cattle , powers the grain dryer, and works the post knocker. Now about to hopefully set sail at the hay/ silage ( weather dependant!)
