    sorry mods, , meant to post in the farming section. .


    this is for land use, not roads etc. . .
    will not be taxed or insured nor tested. ..
    obviously it will be commercial, , , hardly want the family down the feilds with me.. .

    so come on lads. . . .€500,. .. . what would you most likely go for? or get. . . .

    looking for just a run around farm vehicle, . .. back to the sheds, around the land etc. . . .

    Sorry if it sounds like I'm hi jacking this to sell a jeep but I have a Daihatsu Fourtrak for 850 if you stretch the budget. Dryer warmer and safer than a quad and perfect for the forestry.
    Just sayin is all.....:D

    Is it worth a trip across the water? at this price breakers are interested though

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Would agree with all said on the Fourtrak.
    Drove one for several years, great motor.
    From memory 2.8l and easy on juice, very low revs. Great off road too.

    Plus in today's market, you could get about 250 of them for €500, so spare parts should never be an issue;)
