Nice. I remember my father had a brand new MB 1000 on demo back in the late 80 s. There is also a MB 1000 just a few miles from here with a rear mounted loader.
I've not had chance to have a proper drive in her yet but she sounds sweat.
Do you happen to know the owner off the 1000? I've reverse steer on my trac and was thinking of a rear loader but never seem one apart from the youtube videos in Germany.
