Looks nice. Very capable tractor. Is it 6610 with LP cab?

 

Yep 6610 but AP not LP, 24 years old this year and creeping on for 8000 hours, she might be looking for an easier life soon :001_cool:

Nice one, that will be the one with the gear sticks between your legs then, not the crappy one on the column!

 

If the old girl has a set of pallet forks for the loader, i might be interested when the day comes:sneaky2:

Grandfather had a couple of those.

 

One with the crash box and sticks in the middle and a great numb Farmhand loader on the front.

 

Your left leg knew about it if you were stacking flat 8's of bales all day.

 

The other older one had the column sticks and was used by the shepherd.

 

He was about 6'5" so could only use a couple of the gears cos his knees were in the way! :laugh1:

Thinking about it, there were two types of the column stick, the later one was slightly better as gears 1-4 were in a H setting, but the earlier one had 1st and 2nd towards the front, then, you had to stir the stick all around the cab to get 3rd, by then the tractor had drawn to a halt!

 

Both types rendered the right hand side cab door useless too!

Yep thats the one and its electronic dual power and 4wd, not got any pallet forks for it at the minute, thats one thing I've been looking for, usually slide two bit of scaffold pole on the tines on the fork :thumbup1:

 

Used to have a 4610 LP cab with the late type column gears that was a good tractor, only downside was on the road because by time you'd gone across, up, across, down and back across into 3rd you'd lost your momentum :001_rolleyes:
