the showman 4,074 #5 Posted August 16, 2015 Nice little tractor, if its Neils old one i thought it was cheap expected it to make more than that, Well done mate 👠Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mowerdar 98 #6 Posted August 16, 2015 It was Neil's old one and I was expecting it to go for more but I think i paid a fair price in the end. Was good to finally meet him as I'm only down the road in Glastonbury. He's got a very nice and big collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 524 #8 Posted August 18, 2015 I am delighted that it went to a fellow enthusiast and I'm sure Darren is gonna enjoy her, I only wished I had time to spend on giving the 856 the TLC that she deserves . This tractor is very rare here in UK as I only know of 3 others , I'm sure there must be more out there but still they are are rare find. She needs a little tinkering & a good cleaning to get her going but when she was is running she was a strong & quick tractor . I was quite reluctant to let her go but I had just bought a new to me Pick up and so needed some fund to recuperate , but I am delighted that someone will enjoy the 856 as much as I did. Here is my latest arrival More on her later 9 mowerdar, nigel, Ian and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
