We have a couple of John Deere Gators at the gliding club. Top bits of kit. Probably less than useful for ploughing a field, though.

I designed the bonnet for one of Massey Fergusons tractors (can't remember the model) when I was an apprentice there in the early eighties....

Ask our Debs!  She will know! :y :y :y :y :y :y :y

As she runs a farm and is very mechanically minded she is the best one to ask on here I reckon! :D ;)

As Lizzie says, Debs is the one for tractors. She already has a mean machine.

Thanks for the reply Debs I was going to p.m you if you hadn't spotted this thread. I think that John Deer plant is going to be over budget. I will have a maximum of £9,000 to spend, I've been looking at chinese built tractors that fall within that price however there is an added complication of emissions compliance
