That is really lovely. Straight and original. A pre force 5000 takes me back to teenage years. Ours started with a Lambourn canvas cab. Changed to a steel Ford cab when safety cabs became required.

I spotted this tractor in a little shed in oz ,I have googled it and it’s got some history to it. It went to America along with some others

to be driven across the country on historical run.
It’s a Chamberlain, Champion 9G

Had real wet layers stuff and it was throwing it about 20 metres, now we're spreading real dry layers stuff and it's at 13 meters. That wee tractors handles it alright with the right man behind the wheel, we've all flat land and I've yet to fill it up full which I'm not sure i will

Are you on 540 or 1000 rpm ?

I asked bunnings about pto speed before I started and they said either depending on wetness, i started on 540 and surprisingly it spread the wet stuff that distance, so I'm happy enough. The tractor wouldn't handle the spreader in 1000 but then I don't need to, spread 400 tons so far this last few days and another 200 to go. Wish I had ordered wider tyres for the spreader, some amount of weight at the back of that thing when you get going a bit!

My bigger tractors are ploughing and drilling you see

Just inquisitive

I was going to ask “What would you know about it?”

I was going to ask “What would you know about it?”

I had a phone call few days ago out of the blue, to see if I could help relocate 60000 tons of the stuff to some new homes .
So I might put my selling hat on again and see what I can do to help them out.
