Does anybody know the price of a new NC super3000 agitator in comparison to other agitators?

viztopia

my father just bought a nc agitator - not sure which model. i will ask him and let you know. he bought it in Paddy Callans in ardee co. louth. i do know that no one else could match the price.

My Father bought a NC super 3000 2 years ago, worked out at €3900, great machine

When Sterling was weak this time last year I bought mine in Wamsley Tractors in Fermanagh. Worked out at €3100. Nowhere down south came near that price even though they are made in the North and Irish dealers usually only order to demand and can usually avail of weaker sterling rates.

Plantmec aremeant to be a fairly cheap alternative

cross engineering have one but its a serious machine and serious price.
we have a nc 3000 its a great machine but you have to take off pto shaft when entering and leaving tank. it cost about 3500 euro 3 years ago.
there is a plant mec agitator being made in the north i have heard good reports about it.

Try RA brown outside of Newry. They have a huge range of machines at good prices.

Is that sales talk or personal experience?

I know someone who bought one and returned it because a shaft at the bottom bent on only his second tank. He reconed they were made from very light stuff - and this accounts for the price difference. He got a full refund and ended up buying a major.

the major are a very good pump and you dont need to remove the pto shaft when putting it in or out of the tank.
the nc pump is a bit tidier for road transport and they seem to be a good pump.

personal experience
have demo'd a good few and always came home home with an empty trailer

they are probally the most expensive one on the market...so there not by any means cheap

i havnt heard anything like what yove said above but then it could be true.
there definatly not light anyway.

F.D

Redrock are a very good machine also, have used the farm spec one and it out preformed the NC 3000 it replaced, and the contractor one my cousin has needs 150 hp to drive it but it would move anything neither have given one bit of trouble.
The only problem with the NC was a rubber seal at the bottom of the shaft used to wear out, u would have to pull the whole shaft out and replace it, not a huge job but did need replacing a good few times and taking off and on the pto was a pain when moving the machine

good agitator we have a nc 3000 no trouble with it.:)

still taking on and off the shaft is a bit annoying.

if buying again might buy a belmac

We have a hispec good agitator we have a tractor with just 80hp at the shaft driving it and its a great yoke to mix a tank once it has space under the slats to blow it down a couple of spans. We have the pumping kit on it aswell but its useless faced towards the wall in slatted tanks or out into the tank in an open tank whoever made it deserves a medal for stupidity. If we were buying again id go with a redrock or nc 3500 or even hispec again and just get the pumping kit made to our specification.
We had a mchale agitator years ago before that roughly the same as nc 3000 but the gearbox gave up in it. Rather than replace it which was pretty dear at the time we just got the hispec. It was too much bother going between tanks and the hispec is a better agitator even though its not the best agitator around. But an uncle took it and replaced the gearbox and shes going still as far as im aware so not a bad agitator if its just a small bit your doing
