That would work out around 24000, I persume ya would get a loader for 5-6k...how would they be reliability wise?
Would a 390t manage a loader? Have a 4260 here at home, it's a speed shift so not suited to a loader, we done it up a few years back so I dont want parting with it ( my brother had a thread up here on the restoration of it) would only be feeding a max of 200 bales in the year as all sheep here, was also thinking about a 4255/4355 but after seeing so many gone rotten in the roof and panels I think it would be hard to get a good one:scratchhead: budget is 30k roughly, any advice would be appreciated!
i heard so, and to open in an old ford dealershipHave Whelans of Ennis been appointed MF dealers for limerick.
Its a nice tractor to fair, looks very original.
Could the trim be that damaged at those hours?Very original looking 390...

What's with the brake fluid reservoir, on the right hand panel near the throttle ?
I've heard lads saying they bent the throttle around the steering for more power, never thought I'd see the rev counter confirm that .see where the rev counter needle is at :tdown:
Ah now a 2010 MF 6480 doesnt deserve a place in this thread at all
I was at a distinctly non agricultural social back at Christmas time so to amuse myself l asked 20 people to name an agri machinery company.
8 said MF
5 said dont know any
4 said Ford ( none knew about FNH ).
2 were John deere
1 was Mahindra ( she was Indian).
When l listed off all the others l could think of nobody recognised any of them except Caterpiller which they argued was construction not agri.
(Had to pull up a google image of a combine and a challenger)
So according to my limited experiment MF is the most recognised machinery brand outside farming.
You can still go out and buy a caterpiller combine if you have half a mill knocking around.Do Cat sell combines any more, the challenger brand was sold to Agco and is branded Fendt now, the only agri products that Cat do would probably be telehandlers and skid steers
