    Vexed, Confused, yet Happy!

    I was perusing the Gumtree as I'm looking to buy a tractor.
    I came across this advert (no connection or interest, just keep reading).
    https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/burr...gie/1154600052
    At first I was like Yeh, good man, matching paint!
    But then I was like Nah, one does not merely 'throw in' a discovery!

    Again, I have no connection implied or stated with any of the proponents of the advert, neither persons nor things.

    Cheers
    Ralph

    Obviously has a lady operator, painted to suit. A few of the lady bus drivers at our depot wear pink hi-vis vests.

    Couple of problems with that ad. First, the paint does NOT match the discovery, and, second, it is no longer a grey Fergie. Bloke should be ashamed.

    I may want the Disco, but what on earth would I do with a Fergie, no matter what colour? Apart from getting my toes..., no, never mind...

    If the cranes easily lift off.... that's probably not a bad idea. 3PL "cranes" are hopeless. You dont' have enough control, and a grey fergie isn't going lift much at all with one. Those cranes would be great for lifting motors from boats and cars if you dont' have a perfect floor for an engine crane.

    Maybe it is actually a 35. I'm not sure how to tell without checking for the high/low range gear stick though.

    It is definitely a TE 20.
    Some "crane"! I wonder what health and safety would have to say about it!
