    I'd say somehow that ggs would be more efficient than it's 20 year old equivalent. Or else massey is going backwards with its R&D

    But don't forget these teir engines sometimes use more fuel as a consequence for lower emissions

    Yes, it would seem somewhat ironic that the engines need to burn more fuel to have lower emissions but its the case with many newer yokes! The 3cl won't have the same torque as the 4, I remember saying something similar to Delaval when he was upgrading his massey, on how the 6 would be better with the tanker and all that.

    I'm sure she'll do you grand though Green, and best of luck with her!

    Took me a while to figure out what was wrong when I went baling the first of the silage this year, the baler kept killing the tractor :D

    Ye I do :) I've spent enough on tractors for a while. Were replacing all the bearings in the front axle of the landini at the minute so that'll take another day or two to finish

    Naa, wouldn't have it in a million years.
    Prefer to be sitting on my uncle's 20 or even better, on his Ford tvo, missing the gears cause my foot is slipping off the clutch with all the rain :)
