I sunk the front end of our 2wd International 674 rolling a field when I was first thrown behind the wheel. No warning that it was about to become a bog, just solid ground up to where a tree had fallen, no change in appearance for the grass growing there, until you drove into it, then, it's all you see at the end of the bonnet. First lap of the field. The half mile walk back to the house wasn't a pleasant one. Got an earfull for it. "sure ye can see..." followed with 'it's bad' or something to that affect was said after she was dragged out, roller frame bent out of shape to show for it. Sure, it's easy to see after someone has beached a tractor there already, a pair of 2 foot deep water filled trenches to say to following drivers, 'it's wet, don't try it'. :)
Luckily we all get more good days than bad days and they are just sent to test us, nice classic 3050👍
Spent hours in one of these on yts in 1996 it sounded awesome

Great video as ever John. Was converting the 3050 to 4wd a big job? It would be great to see a video talking through what was involved at some stage.

What’s the best spreader for wood chip in your opinion thanks advance 👍
Good vid 👌👌
Those look like plastic drums cut to fit the spreader wheels to keep the rims clean or something?
Wouldn't be a bad idea
Driving these older tractors usually sorts the men from the boys 😜 sorry John 😂
