Good farmers tractor. Not that robust in that wjndow hinges get broken easy, gear cable can get snapped if hnfamilar piliot etc. Its cab is well laid out, good on soft ground etc. I had a 95 for 11 years and a neighbour has the 105 for 12 years with no issue. Easy serviced etc

Timmaay that posts here has one as far as I know. We had a blizzard 95 for 7 years and it was faultless.

Yeh had 2 over the yrs. 1st one without a power shuttle, fairly faultless tractor, we put something like 8khrs on it and the only mechanical issue we had was a clutch change. The f/r lever was on the dash with a terribly designed cable to the gearbox, that cable needed to be changed every yr because it would stiffen up, and eventually snap (and I've heard of proper rough drivers pulling the handle out of the dash ha). Having said that I've test driven other landinis with similar gear sticks and they work alot better.

I have heard of them having fuel injection issues, that could of been down to poor fuel or something though.

Only real practical issue that is worth talking about, back end can be light enough if it has a reasonably big loader on it, weights on the back end are my next item to get, my relief milkers have had afew hairy moments with it haha.

grand sounds good getting fed up looking for tractors now. have a teleporter which does most of the feeding so there will be very little hours put up. its just i practically have no tractor at the minute. nothing to put out slurry , nothing to collect bales, cant go and get fertiliser etc. barely able to get up to the bog in summer with the tractor i have, id b afraid it would eventually die and ill be left buying a tractor without getting a good look done. its garage anyway so safer than buying privately
