The older masseys

[diesel power]

All turbos on those were an aftermarket install. Lovely looking tractor especially with the Dromone hitch too.

Would the driveline still be okay for up to 130hp?

Having had a non turbo 399 I can remember the back end used get scalding hot when it was flat out on the agitator all day. Add in another 25hp and I would say you'd probably leave skin if you touched the rear end. The oil cooler wasn't exactly there strongest point but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a bigger cooler. I wouldn't be afraid of the drive line taking the power but I wouldn't be letting a rally driver off on it either.

I'd prefer the ones with the three gear sticks

If the hours are genuine on this it's good value compared to what some of them seem to make...

We had one of those. The worst pos tractor ever made. 1800 hours and we got rid of it. 362 came in it's place and has turned out to be as reliable as the 168.

They are only a three cylinder aren't They?

Dont think dp would disagree a glorified turboed 135.

Tidy but I don't believe the hours for one minute, on it's second set of rears and a replacement seat..

The story Sounds like it is stretching the truth a bit....

Maybe English council drivers are a crowd of Fat B******s.....

An old man beside me use to have a mf 290 . No car or jeep .he would wear set of tyres out in a year

They may still be original rears? They only look about 70%. Those digital clocks would be fast at clocking up hours and it could have been idling a lot and just clocking up hours? Can't explain the seat though.

This looks pretty decent for the money I thought.

Thought it was a prototype there for a sec with the cab suspension until I relised that one of the photos was of a new holland

 

[meath man]

It's not a lot more money than being asked for 390T/398 and a nicer roomier cab and Dynashift!!

A good tractor too we had one it was faultless.

Question for ye lads . Massey 375 1997 model with speed shift gearbox . Would it be possible to stick a turbo on it / increase the hp of it .

 

[SMID]

Dont see a problem maybe just go steady on the fueling, when we turboed the 590 it 18 months old with 1800 hrs the workshop foreman was horrified he said it was like asking yer granny to run the marathon it went away at 9000 hrs still pulling like a train.

That's on a 236 engine so it should be OK to do .go for a top mounted one should have the same output as a 390t when done.getting a kit would be the biggest issue

Nice looking 390t, what do ye reckon would be the value of it? Had one before and sold it and regret it since:scratchhead:

She will probably be up around €18.5k inc vat

 

[kverneland es 80]

20k

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!

 

[towbar]

With 30k I’d go for a Massey 6200 series and fit your own loader. Will have shuttle and youll know it hasn’t being abused on a loader:Thumbp2:
