I've seen lots of posts on your favourite this and favourite that but how about one that's a bit more down to earth. What's your favourute prime mover?

I cut my teeth on an asthmatic old Fordson Dexta that was addicted to Easy Start as a boy but my all time favourite has to be the Massey Ferguson 135.

I actually quite like the Fastrac, i think it's a really innovative design even after all these years.

Wow, that's a blast from the past. As a young man i worked on a farm where one of the tractor drivers was actually a german tank driver prisoner of war who never went home. He loved his David Brown, they also had a Case David Brown - bloody hopeless.

We use to have a MF35, I restored it with my dad when I was about 12.

I use to see it go past on a trailer as the current owner restored it to show condition and took it all over the place.

TE20 born in 1948 still splits my logs and a 1963 fordson Supermajor does all the pushing, pulling and general farm stuff, all start on the button and I never get tired of their honest old school durability, no electrics to go wrong on these old work horses.

Tractor fact:

The Ferguson System (the hydraulic 3-point linkage), brainchild of the engineer Harry Ferguson, was first developed during WW1 and introduced as a standard in the 1930's, has since been fitted to all subsequent tractor designs across the world. A time when British engineering was truly on top of the world.

I cut my teeth on an asthmatic old Fordson Dexta that was addicted to Easy Start as a boy but my all time favourite has to be the Massey Ferguson 135. "

First thing I learnt to drive, aged 7 was a Massey 135. My grandad had to attach wooden blocks to the pedals for me!

I have an ability to suck large quantities of air and blow it out thru me backside. I learned how to do this because I'm an ex tractor fan.
