Pimpin' on a 7040.A good friend of ours down the road has got a NH TM155 tractor, on which the gearbox was about to blow up. It's gone in for repair at the place where my old man works, and he loaned them a brand new tractor while the work is carried out. This tractor is one that I PDI-d and got ready when it came from the factory, when I was working there a few months ago.
It's about £80,000's worth, so not really that expensive 
Anyway, the other weekend I borrowed it, so I could go pimpin on it. It does 50km/h, or about 30mph in English money. It's bloody great, I went God know's how many miles on it, went to see a couple of mates from school and a lass in a village a fair way away. It's 180hp but when in the top two gears and when it's doing hard work it boosts up to 210. A real pulling machine, literally! Proper job
They look sexy with all their lights on, that's something which can't be denied

Bloody hell!
Did motorway driving and all that on my second lesson, which is pretty funny really.
I think it helps because I've been driving bloody ages, just got bad habits.
I can either do the test in Lincoln or Scunthorpe. If I stop at traffic lights in Scunny she'll be up on bricks by the time we move off again

Surely pikeys would have had the whole tractor away and not left anything behind.

Might just be that Jimbos Dad is a New Holland Service Manager, so I doubt that a JD will grace their barnyard.
