Always felt we should have kept that tractor.She was rated at 92HP but felt a little dead. Got her screwed up to 100.,was much better after that.I remember the day it arrived. We traded in a SAME Leopard 85 for it.
Never thought I'd see this old lady again. My dad bought her new in Comerfords Garage in Kilkenny in 1985...Reg number 45 TIP. We never put proper plates on her only the stickers..We had a 2040s also that caused us major greef and when JD woulnt look after us, we flogged all the Deere's for BELARUS.Now dont laugh, it was more a protest than anything else but they actually werent that bad.We sold that 3040 in 1991 with 3800 hrs on the clock.Whats on it now I wonder.
@johnf2020 shes a great tractor.shes good at blowing smoke though.nice to hear from you.like to know more about the tractor theres more than 20,000 hours up on it now and has caused us no trouble
thats my dads machinery. he owns Browne Contractors. Its some tractor.We still use it for wrapping. Its still blowin plenty black smoke. You'd nearly dye inside in it. We also have a John Deere 2140, 2650 and 6810. We also have a couple more tractors.
they were a superb tractor,just a bit slow on the road

Great stuff - only just found this one. Nice to see some really old-fashioned work in an old-fashioned way (rough!) Life as it is. . . . Alan

Good quality vid again! Is that young lad driving a bit too hard there or is the field just very un-even??

@PhluterGoode Just a humpy field really. Fairly shite looking grass too. Great to see a bit of older machinery on the go tho, great video!
