G'day Guys,
A few weeks ago a mate came around to look at the new shed we are going to build beside the house and I mentioned I was going to sell my tractor and get a bigger one with a front end loader. He said well mate I got one at home do you wanna swap your Fiat for mine. So I went around for a look and no worries. Here's a pic of my Fiat.
and a pic of the David Brown 1210 I swapped, The hydraulic cylinders will need new seals and a few other things to do but I reckon this baby will do what I need with HP to spare.
Nice trade! My neighbor picked up a Case - David Brown 1210 last summer. I need to redesign his electrical system though. The previous owner, for what ever reason, decided the best way to fix a charging problem was to just cut random wires that looked like they might go to the alternator. I think he paid around $5000 for his and it too needs a little clean up and fixing as well.
If we're showing our tractors, here is me playing with one of my toys. It's a Case 530 backhoe/loader. It needs some hydraulic work too. I can't wait to get it over to my shop for a restoration.
Here's the New Holland a friend and I share. The front loader is off right now cause the dummy was out cutting logs and overfilled the bucket with them and lifted it wrong, thereby dumping logs onto the engine cover, denting it. The cover is getting painted presently. There's a box blade, back drag, twin gang mower, rake, and auger attachments. It has a nice ride to it. He now tows a utility trailer behind it for logging.
