Not often we get both tractors in the same picture but when the break's fail on one it's the other to the rescue.


Just some others of big blue posing

Was that on eBay a few months ago, front tyres reversed, guarded underneath etc?

The old girl is ready for rubber… (But struggling to find any forestry tyres in the UK - anybody got any leads?). 
Pulling out some big larch this week.

Not this one, came from a dealer about 7months ago.
She is guarded underneath although 1 plate is missing which I'll get round to making one eventually and is reverse drive which is fun.

Looks a lovely tractor!

She's a beast of a powerplant, frequently think the stress control has packed up on the Schliesing when she's running it as it takes some slowing and plays with the Tri Accel no matter what we put on it down

Not looking forward to replacing the tyres within the next 6 month's.
Probably going to look at a slightly more road biased tread as that's where she spends most of her time.

I’ll counter your massive Valtra with my little SAME - such a great little winch tractor!

I bought it last year from a quarry we do a lot of work in - it had only done 2000hrs on a dust suppression bowser. 
It goes literally anywhere, and uses no diesel ever…

Mike, typical for people to park in the worst place possible…
Do you ever use your winch on the loader or is that just for transport? Handy either way, tempted to get a euro to 3pt adapter for mine.

I use it as a balance weight for the crane and chipper thats usually on the linkage. I just didnt feel like taking it off when I towed the tipping trailer.

 

I have been thinking about permanently mounting the winch on the mog to the from of the tractor though. But a winch on front linkage would be better but comes at the expense of loosing the loader.

Getting used to our new Fao Far trailer now. The build quality is a big step up from our old Farmi and Farma and it's nice to be able to have two bunks.
