    Got a 5460, happy with it, got a good finance package with it. But the servicing and insurance do add up...

    new Holland T5050 here in 2009. Good finance package with it also. Insurance was €700 a year on it till we changed insurance companies last year and now it's €350 for the same cover. Servicing is approx €350 a year - we do less than 500 hours per year with it.

    Valtra n series have a tiny fuel tank which won't do a full day's work. They also have a very tight cab if you are interested in comfort.
