Tafe tractors

[Bootneck]

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.

Tafe have been around for many years

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

they are just an mf35 aren't they? Owned by that indian woman who has a large stake in Agco. @Cowabunga

Was there a IMT copy of the MF 35 also about in the 90's ? The spares were not interchangeable i recall reading somewhere .

Similar, but not quite a Massey
I'd buy a 40 year old MF rather than a TAFE

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.
