To be honest John I'm not sure, I have never been interested in the European combines,but that little 31was a dear little thing, bloody noisy,but what pleased me was the young man who was proud to own it and display it that day, I think he has several machines now,different colours,he sure gets my vote,a local farmer around here has a European built massey with a folding table!! Similar to that lely designed one, I have never seen it and probably not likely to, I don't think many people have had that opportunity, which is a shame, I do know that idea for MASSEY was not successful,I was fortunate to drive a lely with a folding table, bloody clever engineering in its day,it was a big combine had shaft speed sensors,levers everywhere,perspex window alongside the sieves,and a big built in great Britain sticker on it, aaagh remember those days when companies liked to fly the flag,probably not politically correct now,ah well I suppose everything has lead up to what we got today machines that our 100%reliable cheap to own and idiot proof to drive? And can be fixed by the local village blacksmith if it does breakdown!! Oh yes,,,,
