Great pic. That's a good work face. Well, either that or you just told him how much that green paint costs.

Ha! Not so good. That's one reason that they don't command a higher price. I actually find that a little surprising because it is such a great machine, at least for what I want it for - there is nothing comparable for twice the price available in green or orange or some of the newer fancy colors. So far I've only had to deal with some butchered wiring from the previous owner, a cut hydraulic hose, and the fuel pump does need to be rebuilt. The rest of the issues are basic maintenance - seals, bushings, and the like.

Picked this up last week Massey Ferguson 1230 its a little lighter than I wanted but will do for awhile

Obviously less than ideal for woods work but its what I got for now. At least until we finish our house escavating.

That is what I am going to be looking for towards the end of this year. Nice and handy.

What kind of bucket or device is that on your 1st tractor pic?

That's an old scoop that attaches to the 3-point. It has a latch on it that you trip to dump the load.

 

[Sawyer Rob]

Before the day of front end loaders, those 3 point scoops were used for everything....a LOT of basements were dug with a 3 point scoop.

Mines reversible, you can use it foreword or backwards...

I would love to have one of those scoops. Fill it up and then use it for the counterweight for the fel. Or vice versa. I'm gonna have to look for one of those.
