They are really reliable tractors! But sad to see her standing outside.😕

[@jankotze1959]

Agree with you but lucky it looks if it is well looked after, very nice original shape

[@TheLRider]

Is it because lots of farmers don't look after their machinery or any other equipment in my experience. They're happy enough looking after all their grant applications and ofcourse claiming any expenditure for tax relief... Subsidies as well so its easy come easy go. Preventative maintenance is never mentioned and panic from one breakdown to the next.. They really haven't moved on much since the horse and cart but at least tractors don't have feelings unlike mistreated horses, and there were plenty, so that's progress at least.

They have a Intake heater that 90% of people are too thick headed to use LOL

[@beattybro2]

@@ChrisComp how do you work the intake heater ??

[@ChrisComp]

@@beattybro2 their was 2 ways on the Fords see if the key will turn backwards from off . If not the Intake heater position is just right before the starter engages hold for about 20 seconds then give er a crank . Sometimes you can hear it ignite the fuel in the intake .. Matter of fact keep an eye on my channel I'll go do a short vid on our 2600 . Seeing one do it may be easier to understand
