From what I can see it has to be a fairly new tractor to be worth your while, what you thinking of buying

Bigger tractors over 130 hp and less than 2 years old big savings . But stock tractors i think are cheaper here maybe not as well looked after.

Yeah my cousin bought a 09 t 7040 in england, reckons if he cleared it and advertised it he would make 6.5 k easy enough, himself and his neighbour bought a tractor each off the same dealer that day and got them right enough

When you say the UK do ya mean northern ireland or across the water, "MOST" of the time they will be cheaper but they wont give two f*@ks about you if you have a problem was in a very large well known tractor dealers yard in NI one day and there was a guy looking about buying a 4or5 year old massey i think it was and he asked was there a warranty with it and his answer "aye... we sell them to!!"

Is there much of a saving to be made on improting brand new tractors?

I could be wrong but I think there is some sort of tax on a tractor less than 6 months old but I could be wrong

BelgianBlue13

Oh maybe there is, what do you guys think the price range would be for a 03 JD 6320 with JD loader and 3000 hours on it?

journalman

30k- looked at one before bought forterra, 03, 6000 hrs= 27k no loader and needed back tyres. jd dealer prob look for more

If it sounds to good to be true it usually is too good to be true
Be careful

I would only buy a 1-2 year old as most older yokes are clocked

Am I right in thinking that a lot of tractors for sale in Ireland have come through Cheffins.
Has anyone been to Brightwells auctions in Hereford

id reckon youd want to allow 1k for you to go get a look and transport back home, there is value to be had but there is also alot of machines there for certain reasons, i know a man recently bought a jd 1360 mower there, very fresh looking one, brought it home, checked it for oil, topped it up, turned it on and within a minute all the oil was pissed out through a couple of places in the bed, i think now hes bringing it back to cambridge now

Very good advice there. It is a great place for a look and a few days out but as I have said before anything with an engine or gearbox I would be passing by on bidding on it.

that mower that your friend bought,that sort of thing would put me off on going..

Good advice. I have relations over in England and was warned of such things. A lot of things that go through the auctions can be in bad order and look fresh but still going over for a gander in oct

know a guy bought new 9 ft kuhn mower in wales, saved bout a grand and half on it, he went back this year and bought a new case skid steer for 22k sterling all in, big saving on irish prices.
6320 st 14k plus vat is dodge, def sumtin wrong dr unless its wrecked to pieces- steer clear in any case.
