  I owned several David Brown tractors, Cropmaster, &nbsp;900, 990, 1390. &nbsp;I really believe if DB had forcefully marketed the 50 D it would have pretty well cornered the market of the day as more PTO equipment was coming into use.<br> The 2D used compressed air as power assist for equipment adjustment. The tubular frame was the air reservoir.

  Back in the early 70’s we acquired a “Muir Hill”. This was an English built 4WD tractor, based on the Ford 6000 tractor powered by a six cylinder Perkins engine. Essentially it was a Ford 6000 with the front end replaced with a differential and power unit with tires same size as rear. This made it short coupled and prone to “pig-rooting” when driven at speed. It was fitted with a front blade and towed a large four tire (tandem wheeled ) trailer fitted with a grapple hook “HIAB” crane for retrieving and loading poplar logs, which were quite heavy. It was quite innovative in the era, these days I note hall-pack units based on a similar design concept.

  I had a Nuffield 4- 60 which was used predominantly for contract hay production , in four years I didn&apos;t have any breakdown, towing a &nbsp;B 55 international wire tie baler , in that time the only problem I had was the rear seals , cheers from Tasmania

  What happened to the Massy Ferguson Tractors ? Ferguson which became MF, were the first to invent the 3-point linkage.<br>I have used David Browns &amp; you can fry an egg on the gearbox after ploughing, is that a good thing or Not ?<br>Nuffield&apos;s didn&apos;t have a diff-lock, so not as capable as MFs, when ploughing.<br>Fords always had good power, &amp; good for ploughing. The Field-Marshal, was brilliant for winch work. <br>Some fords had Perkins engines, as did most of the MF range. &quot;Perkins-Desal&apos;s&quot; are one of the best engines out there ! <br>Thank you for your footage 👍
