Hey,

I´m using a 800 from 1976. At this machine all gearsticks are in the middle of the cabine. It´s the same like all old tractors (like Zetor, Eicher, John Deere ...) are build. A few years later Mercedes built the gearbox with it´s sticks at the right side of the cabine.
My trac has about 12000 hours. I bought it because of my forest. I equipped it with a hydraulic (forest) crane behind the cabine on the frame. So i can use every back-up equipment in combination with the crane, like a winch or a trailer.
I grew up on a farm. My father bought his first trac the same day I was born. He and my uncle bought several tracs during their work. So i knew the advantages of this machine. We had tracs from the 65/70 up to 1600.
When my father died almost 4 years ago i bought my own trac because of my brother who needed my fathers tracs for himself and the farm he took over.
I´m very pleased with that trac. Although of it´s 12000 hours it works almost like if it´s new.
I don´t want a trac 1000. For me the most favourit trac is a 1300 or 1500.

Greetings Cliff
