I bought a new tractor today.....

Tipp Man

Hey Reilig hope the tractor is going well. I think you chose well, the T5050 is a good solid tractor. We bought the next model up, the T6010 about the same time as you and it going well. couple of minor things which the dealer fixed free except for the exchaust which broke at the bottom. Cost about 550 euro but New holland went halves on it which was pretty good

The thing about tractors is that everybody has their favourites and as Wenger once said "everybody thinks they have the best looking wife at home" I think the 2 most important things when buying a stockmans tractor are reliability and price. You getting the 0% finance on the 5050 seems to have made it a no brainer (we availed of that little offer ourselves)

Can i ask 1 question, I assume the price you quoted back in 2008 is without a front loader??

Yes, without a loader

Speaking of good value stockmans tractors. Serious value to be got in used Kubota's in UK at the minute.
2010 Kubota M9540 (95 hp), with 170 hours, being picked up this week in UK, by a lad I know. £21,500 including VAT! He will get it in his yard for around €25,400. No loader, but tractor literally new!
Seems the used market over there for the Kubota is dead. No takers.

Don't know anything about them, but probably fairly sound as you would expect from the Japanese. Seems a great buy second hand, but I wouldn't want to be the lad buying new, and taking all that depreciation.

Maybe VAT has to be added to the £27-28k sterling.
If that was the case the euro price would be about €38k including the VAT.

ya very possible, still nice one for the lad who bought it at that money, know a few people around here who have that model, they are very tidy, maybe too much so, they look a bit light for loader work to my mind and the cab is very small bit nice tractor

i was talking though in terms of a make of tractor across the board that holds it value

You are still incorrect in todays market.

Im going to get philisophical for a sec though. You can alwalys sell a massey or a ford in ireland because they have a widespread tradition here and are a respected tractor. even if a guy has a bad experience with one he'll change to the other ofr a while. A john deere man (and im not referring to you) nearly has green blood in his veins, a green overalls on, a john deere hat, and a john deere keyring on his keys. He cant be told his tractor is as good or as bad as a comparable other make nor can he be told its worth a lot less than he thinks - the reason for this is he has paid far too much for it in the first place and he'd have to get new overalls.

Was in a JD dealers yard today. Saw a JD 6210 with JD 551 loader. '03 model, with 8250 hours. Looked in really good nick. One previous owner. €30k. How does that figure in the depreciation stakes?

Well wear boy. We have a TL90 about the place too. Great little tractor and fierce tidy around the yard. What number is the new bus Stanfit? Father in law has a T6050 and she is a lovely yoke. Hope she doesn't spend all her time sitting beside that diesel tank!!!

Does the TL90 have a hand clutch for engaging the PTO?

There's one on our TD and I'm a terror for leaving it on. Only found out recently that I don't need to be pulling it up to turn it off ...

What's the difference between a TD and a TL?

Lads, TL90 for €20k here from W Crawford, in Portglenone, Antrim.
What do ye think of that for deal, and has anyone ever dealt with Crawfords. Would his stuff be sound? http://www.wwcrawford-tractors.com/tractors.html

TL A series on left...... TDD on the right....

TL would be a stronger tractor with a few more features. TDD is a lovely basic tractor, ideal for the small farmer. They can be picked up alot cheaper than a TL.

It's like anything, it depends what you want from a tractor and the budget you are working with. We've a 03 with only 1004hrs showing on the clock, so it's an ideal tractor for us

Yes, I had done a bit or research myself. I think you are in Galway, sent you a PM there. You might be able help me with a question?
Thanks.

As far as I know, the New Holland TS series are based on the xx40 series with a Ford engine. The TL series is basically a Fiat engine and the TD is similar although more basic than the TL.

You are correct. Here is some info on the New Holland xx40 and the TL series. As far as I know, the TD has the same fiat/iveco engine as the TL but has a slightly smaller cab, a lighter backend, & less electrics, hand clutch for a PTO etc. TS series made in England, TL made in Italy, TD made in Turkey I believe.

The TL series is the same as the case JXU and the TD series is the same as the case JX
