Cheers , she will say as she is

Thanks ! Yea know what you mean 👍👍 ole skool so much better than this new stuff !

Thanks , yea 322 1250s were made

👍👍

They were also cheaper to buy and more flexible in their application than either the MF 1200 or the later MF 1250. The MF 1250 used the same engine as the MF 2000 series, the 6-354•4, which had machined inlet ports in the cylinder head, a thickened and deeper 'skirt' and the tappet covers were eliminated, with a now constant section of material on the RHS of the engine. This made it structurally stronger, and in conjunction with the massively strong engine sump, allowed such tractors as the MF 2000s (US 1978, Europe 1979), and MF 699 (1984), to be feasible in the first place, since the engine block was now strong and rigid enough to be used as a structural member.

Hi , thanks 👍👍 probably about 16-18 mph

1200/1250 was predominantly a pulling tractor for arable , weight distribution with implement on and manoverability

Yep 322

The 1200 there is a late one , almost bar 50 in the production , so it has a few 1250 similarity , the 1250 is an aftermarket one as the one it had was broken ! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Not much , went from dry brakes to wet and then a constant mesh gear box from a crash box

Also tinted glass in the cab from about 1977 onward.

👍well deserved never saw this one coming 👀👀👏😂🍻🍻

Thanks , thought Kilmarnock was where they built the combines ?? Colin Cloude is a font of knowledge on that front 👍👍

@@MasseyDave Yes they definitely did build Combine there. Maybe I’m mistaken, but MF definitely took my Dad to Kilmarnock about the time he was negotiating with MF, through F A Standen at Ely to buy that first 1200. He was no fan of MF Combines, so he wouldn’t have gone there to see them. And I do remember something about Manchester. I wonder if Colin could enlighten us to the details? I also remember them being shown on Tomorrow’s World, but a while after we had taken delivery of ours. They also showed a 1505. Anther thing I remember was when they took ours away for testing, they lent us another 1200 which was a very early test model. It had weighted PAVT wheels on it which made it look awful! We used our first one with a 5 furrow Dowdeswell semi mounted (DP2?) plough, ploughing on land rather that in the furrow. This was no good when it got wet as the tractor would always end up sliding into the furrow. Eventually we bought a fully mounted 4 furrow Lemken and drove the tractor in furrow which sorted it all out. MF came out with its Diamond plough, but it would not turn the land over well enough on heavy land. By the time we had the 1250, we had a Dowdeswell DP8 plough and we thought this was the perfect plough for it

@@MasseyDave By the way Dave, just been talking to my brother Paul, who I now know has spoken with you several times. He drove our 2nd 1200, the S reg until it cremated itself. Then we replaced it with the 1250. Paul sends his regards and apologises for not having kept in touch recently. But he has been quite busy. He and my brother Mark have a lovely late 390 and an absolute peach of a 3125. Paul is still trying to find out where our old 1250 is, but knows she was exported. My Brothers’ are in North Suffolk and I am in the North Cotswolds. When I arrived here at Moreton-in-Marsh in 1996, the was a local Contractor, Tim Ingles, who has 3 1200’s and there still is another guy near me that has another 3 of them. One has a fore-end loader, mounted on the back of the tractor.

@Rickwardful hi , Paul ? Soz I have a lot of people contact me so forgive me if I can’t recall 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😘 u not that far from me. I’m in Somerset Dave

@@MasseyDave Not to worry Dave. It has been 2 years since brother Paul ward spoke with you. Those of us the had and loved our 1200’s and 1250’s absolutely love the fact that you collect, use and restore so many of them.

You selling or looking to buy ?
