Wow some great pics there guys. I wonder if the newer tractors will last and earn the owner a wage like these old beauties??

Here is a pic of my Massey 65, hauling some Douglas. Also run a cone splitter with it. Gets into some tight spots which it probably was not designed for.

Sorry just reread my post. Was meant more like, earn a wage when its 50+yrs old like these nice old machines. Or will electrics, computer etc get in the way (when they go wrong) for them not to be worth bothering with? I hope you get my drift as awfully explained.

well by then we can just remove all that emission crap, blank the return egr valve and turn it into a pre tier 6 emission standards, or just import them from brazil and mexico without all that crap in the first place:thumbup1:

I get the joy of being able to use a, was brand new, new holland t5 115. It's a nice place to be for a days work (I'm used to landrover and old unimogs so most stuff is nice!) But with its particular filter being blown out every 5mins as it doesn't get massive long run outs, and all the switches on the hydraulics I'm not sure it will be around after 10yrs before the owner gets fed up of it all and gets rid!

 

There's a reason I have older mogs and landys:lol:
