It's really great to see these old tractors still being used effectively everyday, who needs the latest half million pound tractor to farm efficiently, I'm loving your videos 🎉

How do you find the 55 pulls what do you think it’s limits would be modern lemken 4m combi or sumo trio 3m ?

I’ve a mate running a Trio on a 55 and he loves it, says it works it very well. It would work our Solo 380 at around 7-8k. However, both mine and his are well weighted up. When the engines are set up correctly and well maintained they pull extremely well. Be careful not to over do it though as they will destroy the transmission if you get overzealous.

@@theturnip8288 ok I might need to look for a little more weight for mine, struggles with thr trio will hopefully try it on the combi this time round, pulls a 6.5 carrier at about 10k and a 4.5 simba discs and double press combi at 7-8k so not bad for a smallish tractor
