    Seen this about 4 months ago, same pictures, careful as you go,

    the idea is

    you say " I am interested in the tractor",
    They say " please forward the money and we will then put the tractor on the ship once the funds have cleared"
    Then you sit at home still recovering from open wallet surgery with no tractor and some smart ass fecks off with your cash, be very careful

    steer clear of this rubbish, its a scam,

    if you want to buy a good tractor go to the most reputable dealer , that you havent heard complaints about, or just go to england , the stuff over there is mint, i bought a jd7810, over there recently, 2002 last of the 10 series, with 2200 genuine hours, for 15k sterling ,and the tractor is the same as brand new,

    didnt need anything only diesel , tires are even still like new, and there was yards full of the same type of stuff bigger and smaller, im going bacvk before christmas, to buy a 6910,

    and for some reason i know we all might hate the tans and so on, but they keep their machinery 100 times better than ony of us ever will

    Suppose you didn't see any tidy JCB 3CX in the year when you were there?

    I ahve been looking around over here, but for my €8k budget, the stuff is pretty knackered looking me thinks.

    you will get one cheap over there ,but the only thing about a 3cx is that overthere it has as much done if not more than one here, and when i worked in england i drove a 3cx for a long time and it was all breaking concrete or tarmac for the councils,

    try some of these websites,

    mascus.co.uk
    glenedenplantsales
    all plant sales
    gunn jcb


    google them mascus is probably your best bet, now dont let me put you off, but you will eventually find a good one , look for an ex owner driver one , it should be mint

    Did you drive them from england collect them from ship or have truck collect it etc


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,013 ✭✭✭leitrim lad


    firstly i drove a few tractors home from england , in the early days, ya know starting off, and trying to save as much money as i could, but as i got bigger i collected them with the lorry and probably brought back a digger ,aswell, i always had a full load coming back,

    another great place to buy is euro auctions in leeds, always a great selection of stuff, and no one has any objections to you fireing up a machine to test it out,

    it probably the cheapest machinery this side or europe, and if the bidding gets out of your limit just pull out and the next one will probably be cheaper,

    one fine example is the hitachi zaxis 130lcn-3, brand new and there was 3 in the auction, the first one made 38k, the second one made 35k and the last one made 32k

    that was sterling, but its an insight as to how cheap it actually is, that machine new last year was 75k euro, from the dealer, and you still get your manufacturers warranty out of the auctions, if its new

    What would a £15K tractor cost approx, delivered & duties etc paid ,

    so that would be 15000 sterling = 17431 euro at the mo. 50 euro vrt to register it and around 400-700 pound haulage. So rounded off 18000

    you dont have to register for vat, but you may have to pay the vat on it if your not registered, its 50 euro to register it in the republic, and if you get a lorry coming back empty a couple of hundred euro should transport it,

    im not sure if you could use a herd number to buy it instead of a vat number


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 319 ✭✭cormywormy


    Sorry no, not registerd.Yes you would have to pay the vat if your not registerd.Cost me a while ago 450 pounds to get an inter 784 brought over.

    Vat is 15% is this the correct rate? if so would add another €2600 to the price.
