Pics of my 240D

spyder2 · Oct 2, 2006

Hi Guys
Here are some pics of my 240D at last. I am also posting some pics of a rake I built to level and loosen the sand in the Drassage Arena I built for my wife. That is the trade-off see. She gets a dressage arena for her horses and I get a tractor to rake it with (and play with)

. I am very happy with the results. The rake works absolutely brilliantly. I really like my Yannie!!!

Very, very nice. I'm sure you'll get years of enjoyment from your new toy...er, uh...workhorse.

Get a ROPS!!!

Thanks Tom.

If I want a ROPS I will either have to make it myself (TLAR principle (That Looks About Right)- which is probably not a good idea

) or import from the US which, with our difference in currency and shipping/import costs, will probably end-up costing as much as buying a small tractor here!

Fortunately I am working level ground only.

Good looking tractor. I like that rake you made, too. My "dressage arena" is unfortunately on grass. But, I do eventing so that is what I have to jump on. Now that I have a barn down, I may turn that area into a sand arena. If I do, I may copy your rake!

You are welcome to copy it Roxy. When the time comes you can mail me and I will take more detailed pictures and post them or mail them to you at a higher res.

Hello Spyder.
Nice setup you have,and indeed a fair trade as you mention.

I don't recall ever seeing a 240 with an external intake such as appears to be on the left side of the one pictured. What is the engine model (on the left side of the block) and what is the number on the chassis (left side of transmission just about where the operator's left heel would be)?

Hi Spyder
Very nice looking tractor. In the photo it looks like you have different types of tires on front and back which you don't usually see on a four wheel drive. Someone obviously switched the front tires. I was just wondering if these tires were the same circumference as the original front tires, because I have been told that if you change the circumference of the front tires on a four wheel drive that it can damage your drive system because your rear wheels will be trying to go a different speed from your front wheels. Guys, if I am wrong about this please correct me. Since it looks like the original rims on the tractor the tires are probably the same circumference (or very close) but I just wanted to mention this as a precaution.
