It's the only thing small enough for cubicle shed entrance..it is great on the scraper,we put power steering kit on it,it's just so bloody awkward to getting and out over the gear sticks etc..

Hate to see them used as scraper tractors.....but it's either that or exiled to a foreign country for a life of slavery.
Spent many more years driving a Ford 4000 with a pish poor cab, than a modern air con / air seat / front suspension tractor.
