    No pick up hitch on the back of it either by the looks of it. Must be an import from the continent

    It says Denmark on a plate in one photo....

    Did 390’s ever have the chassis painted that colour either?

    The Danes in general are very good to mind their gear, there could be 10,530 hours on that. I worked on a farm in Denmark many moons ago. I was ploughing with the back window open on new a MF 3060, boss was giving out about the dust in the cab. I remember saying something about how I loved the smell. Same man had a MF 590 with a 50km top speed.

    edit DT, the heavy clevis hitch would be normal in Denmark too.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Looks good. There is a fair few years left it in.
    Did you manage to all of the work yourself?

    No. I did the electrics, respraying, the light fabrication on the cab, and other odds and ends. Neighbour jcb mechanic did the mechanicals, another neighbour fabricator did the lineboring, bushings and countless other bits, aaa glass refitted the glass.

    I think he was on about the bungy tow rope. No need to take up the slack as it does it for ya.

    Try pulling most Irish tractors like that and it and the driver would end up in the next parish/county.

    Ya, snapped chain would do some damage too.

    I don't know how he got stuck in the first place. The ground didn't look particularly wet and it didn't look like he was pulling or drawing anything. He looked well buried though!

    Some of that ground in the states would look 100% but you'd go to China if you drove in on it.. Amazing really

    Always wondered how much use you would get out of one of those kinetic ropes before they were out, would be useful for one of our glas meadows here. Got stuck four times ploughing it this year.

    Not really machinery unless you consider the trailer, but from the same twitter yoke is a video of how they load cattle in Brazil!

    It's definitely not the first time those stock were loaded like that, they'd nearly walk up themselves if left to it. The oldest cow I have is the same, open up the trailer and stand to one side and she's up the ramp. She knows it means fresh grass at this stage, I wish the rest were the same.

    We find it's easier to move calves that are weaned off milk from the rearing shed to the other yard which is c.150/200yds away in either the jeep trailer or the small lorry. They'll run up the ramp with a bit of straw on it.

    I think I read somewhere that's parts of the state's may have 20ft deposits of topsoil something to do with ice age deposits. So if they were wet patches they could be deep.
    Also saw another tweet warning of chain use in such situations where a man had lost a neighbour due to the chain snapping and coming thru the cab. Have a 12 tonne rated chain here, nothing like the length of those yokes but makes you wonder if those properly rated slings would be worth having even if it may not be used for a few years

    Have one here, a super job and easy to give wire a little squeeze after a while if it starts to drop.

    What does it weigh with a full tank?
