    I belive that some 200 series models were built well into the 90's. But not for the irish market. Africa and Asia maybe

    I have seen mf 240's with the 300 series colours / styling.

    Also possible tractor was not registered for a few years.

    Are you sure it was a 255 rather than a 250 or 265?

    Far as I know, the 255 was the Ursus model crackcrack was on about. Just google ursus 255, and you'll get returns for both.

    Some more research..

    " Gierek had invested nearly 1 billion dollars into a project of developing a modern Massey Ferguson model of tractor at Ursus, however due to licensing problems, these tractors could not be sold in the West, and could not be sold in the East because they were too expensive. Instead of the targeted production of 75,000 tractors per year, only 500 were produced."

    "The Massey Ferguson 255 (Ursus) tractor was built in Poland by Ursus under license from Massey Ferguson."
