VERY nice loader

An altogether nice looking tractor - are you tempted ??

Often wondered what jonkoeping looked like without snow cover, had numerous winter trips to a meat processing plant there and another at lidkoeping, plus trips up to Munforss - happy days but never enough time

hi
yes tempted, think the asking price is 17k sek. been down there a few times, once to look at a boat and Ikea sadly

tbh the forsdon I have requires a lot of work, so happy to keep improving the one I have. Renewed faith in it too, no more carrying the compressor down the field to blow out the fuel supply line. the work done there has it running great at the moment

Reminiscent of an old Chaseside loader. Drove one yonks ago for a summer job, though that one had the bucket over the non-driven axle. Didn't realise at the time that there was a Major lurking underneath. We were taking up a cobbled roadway with a pneumatic drill. By the time the bucket was loaded with granite setts, you could hardly steer the damned thing!
This one obviously remedies that particular problem.
Best, Adrian.

it took me a while to get my head round the setup, fairly new to fordsons and tractors in general
I guess once its loaded its driven as normal, to be backed up to unload.

a lot of head turning I guess
