No dramas - Hijack away - I'm one of the worst offenders for this on other peoples threads... [bigwhistle]
Be very carefull with the multi power..they have a nasty reputation and require proper operation to prevent accidents eg going into neutral on a steep hill snd running away. A neighbour had this happen and it nearly did him in. He sold it fir a JD the next week 😐
A mate also has one and commented that you need to know how to drive them otherwise they can bite you hard.
Those Chamberlain tractors have a bench seat dont they? Classic Australia.Quote:

Hence the tendency to run away down hills. Very useful ‘half’ gear when working under load in the right circumstances as these machines have no synchromesh.Quote:

The one that I had did, but not sure about the later ones. Mine was ancient, it was a 6G and had an L4 Perkins engine, which DID break the crankshaft as they were prone to do! It was fitted with a front end loader and a backhoe. The backhoe had been built by a local engineering company, and I am sure it was the start of my hair turning white. Mongrel thing!Quote:
