MF 450 s

[Nick Drew]

Never drove one of these myself but I used to work with a foreman called Pat Smart and he was always raving on about them He reckoned they were the best machines ever built at the time

Mind you we were driving JCB 805B Turbo's at the time and anything would of been better then them!!

Good old days though!!

Hi Martyn,
Great photo on your last reply.
Look at the size of the under carrage compared with the top half in that picture.

Bigger than a Hy-mac! (Sorry Nick!)
