That’s interesting.I drive one infrequently. Animal of a tractor.
It came onto a farm second hand at maybe 5-6 hrs old or thereabouts. Never gave any bother other than a sensor for front suspension and a leak in an oil pipe.
Not sure but there was some mods done on them at some stage - something to do with the engine stiffness and torsional strain but someone on here might know of it. Maybe that why your one there had a new engine ?
Could I view that report anywhere?has the sisu engine alright ,900 series fendt gb and back end,classic tractor covered them in a high hp mf feature recently
There’s one near me and it’s forever giving trouble , only does 3/400 hrs a year and sometimes less as it’s stopped so much. Has had a transmission rebuild last year and it’s still giving trouble. Serious power and weight tho when it’s gongAnyone know what these things are like, and what they’re worth?

Like everything it could be a lemon and it’s the only one I know off . It does serious heavy work but I do know it was parked up for good last spring in the middle of planting after being in the garage for 2 or 3 different problems in a month or 2Excellent. Many thanks.
That settles that.
Yes sisu. And there has been no troubles since. Doesn’t do big hours but It works a seven furrow Reversible plough And big square baler And such like when on the go.That’s interesting.
It’s really cheap horsepower and I want it for a job for no more than 400hrs a year.
Has it got a Sisu engine?
Did the modification work?

im kind of used to looking at moffets and volvo bm's with the engine behind the cab. not down below it. something you dont see everydayCan't see your link but that just looks like a repainted Collins Teleshift to me from the late 70s / early 80s.
Yes, it's advertised as a Collins Teleshift, no age given. Asking for £6000.Can't see your link but that just looks like a repainted Collins Teleshift to me from the late 70s / early 80s.
Doubt its worth £6k, probably not even if it was a late 4wd one..............Yes, it's advertised as a Collins Teleshift, no age given. Asking for £6000.

But it sounds like you'd need a Minder , when approaching the seller
a bit OTT for lifting a pallet !!!!
