    I was also always taught to check for oil spitting from the dipstick with the engine running and warm. The dipstick on the NH is a snug fit and when i pulled it out there were definitely a few spits. Theres only 2600hrs on the clock, it starts first tip from cold and sounds sweet with no breathing or knocks or rattles. Would oil spits be normal for these engines? Sorry if this is a daft question
    Where did you source that with such low hrs? Should be immaculate
    Mine spits a bit but not much @ nearly 4k hrs now. I wouldn't compare them to the older masseys in that sense. We've a little te20 & 65mk2 here and they don't throw up any oil worth talking about. The iveco is a bomb proof engine though as well. Keep it serviced as should be etc.
    Don't forget to leave her idle for a few mins after use to let the turbo spool down.

    Up here in Antrim, yeah its in great shape, the pedals are like new. Didn't know that about the turbo but good to know. Will get another drive on Friday and see how the bounce goes on the road:O

    Just resurrecting this thread as I bought a 4255 lately privately (not from a dealer) and twas a clean 5000hour looking tractor but could be a bit of a money pit too. Didn't get much of a chance to inspect it thoroughly before buying it now seems that It won't go into L range. It's 12/12 manual shuttle, 4 gears on the lever with the plus and minus symbols on the gear lever. It's going into medium and high ranges OK.

    There's a good bit of play in the gear linkage so I'm hoping if I replace the short link at the end of the gearstick it might take some of the play out of the linkage.
