Very nice! Thumbs Up The first tractor I ever drove was a Fergie 35 just like that, I still have fond memories. So much simpler than a modern one.

Fantastic Thumbs Up My grandfather had two which he bought new is the either late 50's or early 60's and they served him well until he gave up on the farm in 1978. First vehicle i ever drove at about 6 years old, they used to put it in gear give it a little on the hand throttle and then jump off and let either me or my older brother drive it around the field and they would chuck hay bales onto the trailer. With hindsight I wished I had kept at least one of them Crying or Very sad Cheers Ian

I bought the 35 11 years back following a cheeky bid on ebay that I thought i had no chance of winning. Unfortunately (?) No one else bid on it and I had to work out how to explain to Mrs Camelman that we were now the owners of a very shiny little red tractor!

Along with the lightweight and the mog, the kids are learning to drive on it like a few on here did by the sounds of it 😀

We had a 35 but replaced it with a 135 for a bit more grunt. At the time we had no space to store the 35 but wish we had kept it
