Happy thanksgiving to you also. I imagine a lot of you are already sitting around, saying, why did I eat so much. In California my family has 6 hours to go. Stan

Much to be thankful for here in central NY with a survivable harvest complete after a terrible weather year.

Happy belated Thanksgiving to all here as well. I am sure there were threads like this on Tractor Tales but some like myself rarely tread over there. That is a beast of tractor and the MFWD is probably a fairly rare option. Looking at a Satellite view of your area it looks like there is a lot of forests(pines) in your area, but it also shows some cleared areas that might support agricultural activities. What type of crops are produced in your area?
It looks like the Mack could use a new tarp.

Thank you and it is fairly rare and she will pull a 6 bottom plow with ease. The last time it was checked it was putting out around 112 Horsepower, but it seems to have more as it has walked away from others . There is a mixture around my area of pine forest and crops too. The crops around local to me are corn,soybeans, tomatoes, squash, and a few other odds and ends. The Mack sure could and needs a new tarp as it's a B57s one of 281 made and on the other side of the tractor there is a B61 single axle sitting .Hopefully I will get batteries for the tractor and the B61 soon and get them going and back to using and working them some. The B57s needs a lot of work as someone vandalized it right after I found it .Hope you and everyone on here is having a great weekend. I go back to work in the early morning

Would be interesting to know the torque rise!
That's an MM engine?

Maybe he went to bed to get up early for work. The tractor is basically a MM G705/6 with Massey Ferguson sheet metal, MM 504 CID engine. You have to click on the MM variant models to see the Nebraska tests, they don’t graph out torque & HP curves.
MF 97 on Tractordata

That's fine, I saw it on Tractordata earlier but wanted to confirm it with the YT experts. Interesting connection between MM and MF.
jfh is a smart person if he went to bed early, as he is an hour ahead of us!

Yep I had went to bed as had to get up at 3 am to get to work on time . Those MM 504 CID diesels in them tractors and especially mine have plenty of torque and I wonder the same thing about the rise. When she idles and I am standing next to her I can usually feel the ground shake a little . Hope everyone had a good day , will be up for a few as work tomorrow till Wednesday at noon then it's the weekend again
