    I dont know much about them, but what do ye think of those small compact tractors like branson or kioti ? Seem to be able to buy relatively modern tractors with low hours for handy money.

    is a massey 240 a better tractor than an 250

    I wouldn't say so. The 240 was definitely more popular which was probably down to price as much as any, as well as it being an updated 135. The 250 had a better back end, with wet brakes, as well as having a better cab. I don't know if the extra weight of the 250 affected it's performance in any way though....

    A question, would a Ford 7610 be ok with driving an 8ft disc mower, no conditioner?

    What is it - 95hp? Would probably be there or thereabouts. Would need to take your time, especially in a heavy meadow.

    Run it no bother, unless you're heading up steep hills.
    It which case you'll be down a gear, or a gear and a half.

    It would run a 10ft trailed conditioner mower in reasonable conditions and pace.

    Thanks for the replies lads. It won't have heavy crop, organic standing sward. That was my opinion too but one hoor was telling me not. He couldn't lie straight in bed, very annoying trait.

    We ran an 8ft non conditioner on a mf135 back in the day. .
    She was driving it in 3rd low .

    Have also ran an 8ft conditioner on an 80ho tractor without problem .

    You wont have axproblem with your 7610

    Yeah about 10 HP per foot seems to be the pull. A disc is about 16 inches.
    So about 13/15 HP per disc. Gob****e was telling me 25 HP. Just add 10 to embelish his lie.
