I picked up a really sraight Super Dexta Diesel from an estate sale yesterday. I've never owned or even seen one of these before so I bought it, very different looking tractor. Can someone fill me in on where these tractors were made, I can't find much data on it. Thanks everyone!

I was @ the local Massey dealer a couple weeks back. He was telling me the Dexta was the most fuel efficient tractor built for several years. I really like mine. Don"t ever use ether to assist starting!

Well done, you've got yourself a great little workhorse - a classic from the sixties still in use on many small livestock farms here in the UK. My 1961 model, the predecessor to the "Super" version, is the tractor I can use all year round no matter how muddy the fields. It has a light footprint and you can go just about anywhere without causing damage to the ground. Get yourself a transport box for the 3 point hitch and it will be a very handy outfit.

I believe the Dexta was originally built from about 1958 until the end of the Super Dexta series in 1964. I have never driven one, but heard they run very economically, which of course the Major diesels were also famous for.

Forgot to mention that they were built in Great Britain.

My dad bought one brand new in 1963, . It is still a great workhorse.These tractors seem to be able to handle any job.the perkins 3 cyl is a great engine.this is the first tractor I ever drove as a kid. 39 years later it is still working on the farm.Power is unbelievable for a tractor of this size. The only thing it lacks is power steering. One of my all time favorites.You bought a good'un.
