Hi Gang;
When the silage teams are chopping grass, you do NOT stand in the way of a 140HP tractor towing 14 tons of silage in a trailer at 25mph downhill!

As always this is a great photo David. One of the things that I have noticed from the pictures that you post is that the tires on these higher speed tractors are a little different looking than these in the states. Seems like they are flatter across the tread and have a more square sidewall to tread transition. Kind of looks like they have a stiffer sidewall. Is that because of the higher speeds. Any of the larger equipment that I have run tends to hop or bounce a lot at higher speeds on soft tires. Combines can really get to going sometimes.

Interesting about the higher speed European tractors. US ones generally have about a 15 MPH road speed.

25 MPH seems normal to me- out of 5 of our tractors, only one goes slower than 20. That's our Oliver 1600, I think it goes at about 15 mph. The Oliver 185 w/ 18.4-38's goes about 25. it's the fastest one, but only because of the tires. the 1755 w/ 34's went slower, about 20. The massye 285 and 165 both go the same speed, somewhere between 20-25.

None of our tractors are newer than a '78 model.
