thats more like it

Its alot of fun having 1050lb/ft of torque at your right foot i do prefer my 155 though, loads better built and more versatile imo

we used to have a 5150plus.... it was the strongest built machine we ever owned.. the abuse it took was incredible... one lad used to enjoy sticking it in neutral on hills & regularly managed 60+mph with loaded trailers on.. he did admit it skipped about a bit when he tried to get it back into gear afterwards!!!! , we traded it in for a mcCormick mtx140 with a perkins lump in... largest pile of excrement ever to be thrown together in the doncaster works... we actually bought 2 & traded them for JD6920s, taking a massive financial hit in the process... they were so crap, my brother actually went out & bought an old ford 7710 to use when one broke down. it was used 5 days a week.

Case build a good tractor in my opinion, alot of people say the case quadtrac's run rings around the equivalent claas/cat challenger & i still keep saying my boss should of bought a magnum rather than that scrappy french ferguson! We had a TG285 before that ferguson which had a 6pot perkins in it which loved doing the crank shaft seal

When i was first at the farm when i left school we had a 7710, i hated it! they had a 4600 and 5000 too but luckily they got rid of the 4600 and the 5000 is due to leave soon, hateful things!

Edit: i should point out we had the largest size magnum they make on demo once, and it absolutely destroyed our mole drainer which may be partly why he didnt get one

The best thing when you have a sore back is when you sneeze you get jolted

[mowgli]

a 5000 was the 1st tractor i drove... they were amazingly advanced in their time.. we have a 1968 (never actually been registered) 3000, and we fight over who is driving it... its the sort of tractor, like a 35/135 that makes you just grin like the cheshire cat when you drive it.
