Congratulations!!
What decided you to buy the Moffat instead of a "regular" loader?

Can you use the Moffat for tractor-work too?

Hi Pascal, tractor was purely bought for novelty value. I have a normal 7840 with front loader but almost bought a moff in the 90's, and felt I needed (wanted?) an extra tractor for the farm.

Does anyone have the article from Classic Tractor which says how many MFT's they made? I'm hoping they will become, if not collectable then recognised one of the last ford(ish) conversions.

Hi again Sandy, roadless still untouched by human hand for 5 (?) years!
We have sold the milking herd and I'm working as self employed labour only now, so might get more free time?

Roadless pic here hopefully

Neil
