Tips? Well you can come up to a junction and stop on the brakes and when you want to go press the accelerator again, but don't stand on it for too long. The 310 is a honey of a tractor maybe its my old one number plate end in wjo?

I remember seeing it on eBay it is tidy! There's been a few older Fendts on eBay recently at sensible money, one ended up on my farm too [emoji4]

Arable work, use to do all the rolling, top work spring tining, some trailer work and some ploughing too. Bought her new in 1996 and then sold her in 2006 when we replaced her with an 818. We sold her to a dairy farm somewhere near harper adams if my memory serves me right. I thought she would be bashed about after going onto there. Would love to see a photo sometime. Really pleased she is going strong. How many hours she got on her ?

I'd guess it's the one that was sold in a sale near Nantwich last year, or at least that one ended up on eBay had no front linkage and was mint and ended up at the Tewksbury dealer

Cracking clutch and gearbox, so easy to coast around yards. I was carting slurry with a 2 and abit thousand gallon tanker behind my 510 fora local dairy farmer. He said he could not belive how it never sounded to rev or be working

Did it have dry disc brakes that could snatch?

Front axle had disc brakes but generally no problems. It was a pocket rocket! Will see if I can find a photo of her.

She doesn't look alot different now just the wheels are a bit faded.Yip you are all in the right track derky i managed to track down the guy who bought it from you through i bidder there was a name on the tanker next to it on the pictures phoned him and he put me onto him a bit cheeky but its my first tractor of my own and cant afford to get it wrong. Then i bought it from terry reeves farm machinery decent guy displayed it genuine worked with me on price because i had to get it home left some extra fendt weights on it aswell which o made into 3pt frame for the front.saw that 512 makes mine look expensive but it really is unbelievable tidy
