Anyone come across this make?
They seem to be very similar to the old MF35, made in India.
They look like they would be good for a simple scraper or for feeding round bales.
 
Strange how you should mention tafe tractors as I have just been looking online at similar tractors that are made in China .... if we were still farming I would seriously consider buying one
Also 4 years ago I was at a silage demo in Newtown organised by the local mf. Dealer and I remember the dealer and manufacturer reps saying what a load of rubbish tafe tractors are but I suppose they would say that

Tafe are great little tractors within the limitation of early 1960's technology, apart from the low emission Simpson engines. They are actually sold as MF in India and some other markets.
Found out a couple of weeks ago that a farm about five miles away has one to replace his 35 for scraper duties on a 120 cow herd. Forget the Chinese stuff and get a nice simple, quality Tafe.
