That be good enough for me then :D.148 should have drums alright I'm 99% sure
A few reasons....it was badly laid crop, combine leaving big lumps which are fine if dry, but a nightmare if they get wet.how come you chopped the straw?
One neighbour had a a 148 and the lads on the hill had a 168 and were two great tractors .148 should have drums alright I'm 99% sure
That's all I have, think she was low on oil as struggled to lift light bales.Drool, slobber. I love that Davy Brown, and I have absolutely no history with the brand. Drove a few 990s, 995s and 1210 what seems like a lifetime ago now, but that is a beautiful tractor. Smashing pictures, root out a few more.
I used to have a 203 engined 165 , gone since 97. I wouldn't be as harsh in my description of it. While it would be a million miles away from either the MF or the JD in your pics, for their time, they weren't a bad old mare. That one would be from the 1st year, maybe 2 of production, the aluminium grab handles on the mud guards are the guide, the headlights would have been the same.

Were most Figaros made in that sickly green? Have seen a couple in a nearly worse looking pink!
I presume a Zetor took its place :D
Most were in that colour alright but seen quite a few off white ones too.
Well it might be closer to beige [emoji29]Nearly right, Nash. A 1975 Ursus 385, big money job. Nearly finished the repayments [emoji38] £1100. Still have it.
I don't remember seeing an off white one ever.
Ours was useless, no grip whatsoever, it got stuck once & the 35x pulled it & the trailer out without anyone on the seat. It got stuck often.I used to have a 203 engined 165 , gone since 97.

We had a useless 165. It didn't stay around for long, got traded in for a 168. Great tractor for years until it was traded in for another great tractor a 390

Head of vintage in NI, is that the guy you mean? Owns an immaculately restored Major too.
