Neighbours had a 4wd 8210 back in the late 80s with a superQ cab. A gorgeous machine in her day.

In retirement since early 80's.
Being jointly owned the only thing that saved it from being scrapped or traded in. Since got a new paint job, leaky fuel tank getting sorted but otherwise starts on first tip. Found the original tax book t'other day.

The two yellow handles

Two of ours, belong to my uncle but kept here and used lightly. Another 20 stored elsewhere too thats also used.
Also, no idea where the hula necklace on the wall came from, it's used occasionally for tractor shed raves.

Nope, a heavily disguised Fordson Super Major.

what is the age for vintage tractors? +25?

we still use my dads old dexta, she is looking a bit the worse for wear but it one reliable little machine. i think its about 62/63-ish he got in the late 70's for spraying beet. it used mainly for spraying in the summer but is working everyday cleaning down the cubiles in the winter.

He also have an 86 7610 and i have an 88 massey 50hx, all showing a bit of wear but in perfect working order

dexta were a great machine, we used to have a super dexta until one man in his infinite wisdom sold it years and years ago,

bbam

Tell ya lads.. with the price of diesel some of these older machines are handy run.. I know our DB996 is a miser on diesel compared to the 885XL.

Stop slagging me, that's the third engine, second gearbox, (first box was a select o speed), we are also on the second pto shaft, second hydraulic pump. God only knows what hours it has done. Still all the tinwork is original, fair play to the ppl who designed and built these.

Don't worry I'm not - have a 1965 Ford 3000 Super Dexta here and it is similar!

Given the all blue paintwork - it wasn't a Roadless or similar originally.

As you say easy to do anything with these :cool:

blue5000

Wasn't a roadless. It got a lick of blue paint for it's 21st birthday, and whover did it thought it would be too much hassle to tape off the white bits on the bonnet:pac:

Theres a wee leyland like that somewhere in Britain. 55,000 hours, but it's been rebuilt a few times.

The 20 year old brush thats had 5 handles and 4 heads.

No, that would have been a small early model ('39-'45)
The next model (Vak 1a) production ran from '45 - '47.

The one in the pic is from 1952, its a Vak1C.
They changed over to manufacturing only diesels after that.

V = vehicle
A = agricultural
K = kerosene
C = Cropmaster model
