Thought of taking PCV but there again I like my cargo to consist of none complaining cabbages!
how did you get a 135 to go that fast - I thought 16 was tops
⦠and the dizzying heights of 23mph if it had multi-power!!!
Dids some longish trips with that 135 too, as the farmer I was friendly with (sadly no longer with us) used to buy & sell machines & trailers & stuff & i used to go pick them up.
His sons still have that tractor Denis, I remember him buying it new in 1968, think it was just under Ā£1000. They WILL NOT sell it, even though they deal in tractors & 135ās.
