Friends of mine are selling their property, and promised I could buy their tractor when they sold, and now they have!:D It's an old IH 434 diesel, but it runs really well and comes with a slasher, carry all, ripper, 3PL bucket, and grader blade. Woohoo... new toys!:D ... for daytime!;)

I pick it up this weekend.

Sounds like fun Al, all you need now is a big sandpit. Of course we'll need photographic evidence.

We are getting about 70 cubic metres of sand delivered here in the next few weeks for a little project we are working on.....yes it IS a really big sandpit.
Of course depends on lots of this :sunny: and not too much :rain:.

Good for you Al, sounds GREAT. Would love a tractor with the extras you are getting...the slasher, bucket and blade would save us buckets.

:thumbsup:Honest old tractor Al not to much goes wrong with them.
A glow plug failure (sketchy memory here ) can make em a little hard to start on a cold morn .. and its an easy fix.. well worth having around :)

Now you just need a scope big enough to justify the tractor.:D

Ah... evidence that the world is normal! Murphy's Law I see has played out very subtly here - the untrained observer would miss it;).

My observatory is already built.:rolleyes: Timing is everything!

I'd love an old tractor at my place ... loads of rocks etc that could do with piling up out of the way so then I could get a ride on mower ... I'm getting rid of the sheep tomorrow ... cute but a waste of space and money really ... and I don't want pets to tie me down ( speaking metaphorically ).

Have fun with the new machine Al !

Great fun
I have an old fergie 35 with a slasher. It doesn't get used much but is great fun to ride around the paddock and get covered with cut grass.
