My son W had suggested I should email Massey Ferguson to ask if they had implemented a colour change at some time!<br /><br />And perish the thought of going into those technical colour and "white balance" settings on the Panasonic which are incomprehensible.<br /><br />I can now go back out tractor hunting again with renewed confidence.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-44261686433755565242020-07-24T19:45:00.632+01:002020-07-24T19:45:00.632+01:00Ignore my comment about your red settings.

The 5470 was a bit of shock to me as I was only recently reading the specifications of it and I found out that the Perkins engine had been replaced by the Sisu 44 engine made in Finland I think. The tractor itself is assemble in Beauvais France. I remember going to the factory and was very impressed with the organisation. The tractor is 125hp and has 16 forward and reverse gears in a dynamic shift box. Its been around for quite sometime with minor changes occurring year on year. Cost wise I am guessing a bit at around 50-60k new.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-80098450222665495942020-07-23T11:00:17.227+01:002020-07-23T11:00:17.227+01:00BC and All - I watched the video.

It seemed to be a bit vague about the exact location used by the Romans and perhaps that information has never been confirmed unequivocally but it seems a shame that it can't be seen where they placed it giving more context and meaning. My post was a bit of hyperbole but good fun.<br /><br />BC- the riddle was not solved by "asking" but by seeing the village notice posted in the bus shelter.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-78620655513887496062020-07-23T10:36:46.071+01:002020-07-23T10:36:46.071+01:00For a ‘mishandled’ expedition Conrad, it turned ou...For a ‘mishandled’ expedition Conrad, it turned out rather well I think and gave you an interesting day. afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-53302954533280898132020-07-23T10:04:48.327+01:002020-07-23T10:04:48.327+01:00Well done!

There is an interesting video of its recent history.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMcIjmvd6Jo<br />Is it time for the OS to reposition it? If you hadn't asked you would never have tracked it down.bowlandclimberhttp://bowlandclimber.comnoreply@blogger.com
