What are peoples first and favourite tractors.

Post by Nairobi »

Hello everyone,,
Thought we could start discussion about peoples favourite tractors. Whether it be the first tractor you ever drove, one you drive daily or a tractor you have never driven but have always wanted to.

The first tractor i ever drove was a New Holland TM190. Fantastic machine and totally underated. Was an awesome tractor and pulled so well. However one of my all time favourites were the John Deere 7030, especially the 7930. The machines were basic to fix, basic to operate and had great presence on the road and in the field. Made a fanstastic noise too.

To bring it round to FS19, these are 2 machine i would love to see in the game. These are all the tractors i would ever need.

Discuss!!

Ooh tough one , first for me was the obligatory grey fergie , then progressed up through the ranks. 135,165,590 etc

Most impressive surprisingly was a Zetor 14145 with Duncan supercab was driving a poorly County 1184 at the time but had the Zetor when it went in for repairs, got to admit the Zetor was better balanced & pulled stronger especially on the hills with a 2000 gal tanker with a 5 leg flat lift subsoiler hanging off the back of it !

All time favourite has to be the FENDT 612 back before AGCO got their hands on it superb tractor in every respect , I've since operated the 930's & 936 & 939 , a Class Xerion 3800 saddle-trac was an experience.

FS19 ? The 515 mod for gearbox was always my must have , but alas I'll go back to my Massey's & 3000 series suits me fine now
Swapped the tractor seat for a truck, 30 years later & still regretting it !

Last regular drive > FENDT 930 / 939 & Claas Xerion 3800
Play time > Ford TW20
Bottomless money pit > David Brown 880
Should never of sold the MF168 !

First was a Ford 7600 (reg CPU 123 X -- don't remember the numbers) driving a hay-turner to turn in the first few rows of rape straw before burning ... favourite was MF1200 and Dowdeswell DP4 or big Kongskilde Triple-K -- parking that in the pub carpark was fun!

Edit:
Perhaps the middle favourite was the Ford Dexta, with it's little three cylinder Perkins engine... not powerful but lots of fun.

First tractor i drove was a banged up old Ford 3000, Was quickly replaced by a JD 1040, they sadly dont exist anymore. Now i have a Zetor 6245 4x4, Universal 430 4x4 and a old Massey 35. My favorite must be the old 1040, that thing was a mountian goat and never let me down.

First tractor my dad taught me on was a jd 3020 open cab. I remember my first lesson well. I was 4 or 5 and dad sat on the fender. I had to slide off the seat to push in the clutch. When i tried to let the clutch out and slide back on the seat we pulled a pretty nice wheelie and i about launched dad off the fender :lol: good times. My favorite was our white 4-275 though. Felt like the king of world driving that tractor as a tot

The first tractor I ever drove was a John Deere 2140 ,it’s also my favourite (Hense my forum name jd2140) I’ve used lots of more modern John Deere’s in my time and a few case and jcb ,although I loved my jd7530 premium (awesome bit of kit and the engine sound was out of this world ) there’s just something about the 2140 that I love and always will.

First was a MF690, though I only drove it once. First successful time (ie not just lifting foot straight off clutch!) was a Case International 956XL, though I spent most of my time in either a non-Case International 956XL or a MF135, depending on whether the International was available or not.
