I know little about them.
Which model and year?
I drove an 09 agrotron k420 for a day loading and hauling bales. Found her very comfortable, manouverable and pulled like every bit of her 115hp and more. The only gripe I would have was that she was a little hoppy on the road but I did have 20 silage bales behind her on a long draw doing 35+ km/h on a national road. I said here yesterday that I am on the lookout for a t6030 or so but would definitely consider a k420 or k430 as an alternative of sorts.

Can never understand with some people why ye go for a tractor with such high hours you are only buying yourself hardship in the long run. Zetor do a nice tractor for stock farmers if they are looked after they would last you a life time a couple of clients that I do work for have them and never have a complaint about them.

Last time I checked a Zetor was no cheaper than anything else!

If you can try and go up a few years to the mk3 models 2001 - 2003. We had an Agrotron 135mk3 here which has the same engine as the 150 and putting out nearly 160 hp even though was sold at 135 hp. I'd try and get one with less hours too if you can as your nearly hitting the 10000 hours mark.

I wouldn't in a million years trust the hour clock in a deutz. The most of them are turned back.

Why do you say this LC? At the lower hp end they are really only a stockman tractor.

He said they had same gearbox as the cs and were basically indestructible

A friend has a fleet of them, 2 second job with a laptop. Not saying they are a bad tractor but I wouldn't trust the hour clock on them.
