There was a classic aged Tractor for sale near me
It was a Massey Ferguson looked a bit like this one




except that it was in gleaming pristine concourse condition. I coveted that tractor even though I have absolutely no need for one and it would have been a bugger to do the school run in it

Massey-Ferguson 35
With an astonishing 37hp from its four-cylinder diesel engine. The one you really want is the 135 tucked away at the back (the thing with the horizontal stripey grille and square headlights) with its 45hp Perkins AD3 (it'll run forever) and selectable engine- or land-drive PTO.

It'll even run on veg oil, making it an ecologically friendly way to commute. In rush-hour traffic you won't hold much up at 15mph and you'll probably be using less fuel than all those luxo-barge 4x4s that never see a spec of mud.

Quite big for a 135, could be a 165 or 175?
Did a rebuild on one of those, years ago. Great machines.
