    Not picky on type of tractor but,
    Looking for something with a little comfort. 100-110hp €20-25k budget.

    Main duties:: Ploughing, power harrowing, spraying, spreading fertiliser, Drawing and feeding Bales

    What are your recommendations folks?
    What should I look for/stay away from.
    Also
    Do dealerships do hire purchase at this sort of budget.
    Can't stand another year of throwing money away into our own tractor.
    Thanks

    I could have another tractor paid for in five years for what I spend on it each year.

    Massey 4255 or 4355 with 12x12 gearbox,whatever you buy get a front end loader you won't regret it. I also like valmet 6400 or 6 cylinder 8050 really reliable tractors but wouldn't be very comfy

    You working off farm caseman? Did you trade in old tractor to finance it?
    Rebuilt the engine couple years ago, had the hole thing apart again this year fixing hydraulic pump, something at the minute running down the battery. I disconnect postive everytime I switch her off. So she start again. Have the hydraulic ram with a neighbour getting fixed as it's leaking. I could go on :O
