    Farm I did my 3 months "placement" on had a Massey 188 Multi-power.
    A lot faster than the Deere 2140 they had.
    Steering wasn't the most accurate, you'd need to have taken your brave pills to open her up in top on the road....

    International 784 2wd was the quickest trying I drove of that era. Gears up high in the left hand side.

    A young fella from down the south east had videos up of his 784 on fb earlier on this year doing supposedly 52km/h looked to be a flyer if a thing.

    All depends on what diff and gearbox ratios were spec'd though.

    Correct. 25 km versus 35 km had 3 and 4 the opposite way around.
