Yard Firewood tractor

[Chris Sheppard]

We have an International 454 and it's a brilliant wee tractor. Great gearbox and plenty of power for its size and only cost £1500. Spends most of its time between the circular saw or log splitter. Highly recommend one. As said previously said ford, mf, etc prices are high due to collectors

 

We have a 454 too and it's been a grand little bus. When we got it there was (and still is) something come adrift inside the injector pump so it only has tickover or about half/three quater throttle and that's done off the stop lever. We used it for a few months pulling our forwarding trailer and it's now sat in the yard running sawbench or splitter. I'd go as far as saying I've never known a better starting tractor than that one - it can sit for months and will go first turn of the key with no heat or hesitation.

 

Was worth the £700 it cost
