Nothing there with a three point linkage then? I've seen a couple, one last year "bombing" towards the east from Bournemouth. I learnt to double de-clutch in a farm runabout that was the first on registered in Hereford and Worcs and belonged to an Uncle who tenanted a farm of the Eastnor Est.

No they were the Agrover I think there were only half a dozen made they never caught on. I'm sure there is a contractor out Lincoln way who uses one though.

I have an Agrover which I may be offering for sale soon. It is a 1987 E reg with approx 40,000 miles, 3 point linkage (complete & fully operational), Live PTO (currently disconnected), 2 double acting hydraulic spools, portal axles (which improve both ground clearance and steering lock/turning circle), removable dropside body, rustfree chassis & bulkhead, generally original & in very good order for age. she is a 2.5 naturally aspiated diesel and the vast majority of parts are original land rover. She has been featured in several magazines including "Tractor Magazine" issue 033 July 2006 and "Land Rover World" Oct 2006. I am lead to beleive that there were only about a dozen produced and only 3 or 4 still exist !Anybody interested please email: [email protected]

Nice trucks!!!

 

Only from a distance, you'd last about 5 seconds inside one before you realised how uncomfortable they are, there's no room for you arms or legs and if your over 5'11 you need to crick your neck to see out the side window.
