Tractor change?

clonagh

I've got a MF135 (1977) which has served me well. It's mainly used for topping and moving bales of silage. It struggles if the bales are any way heavy and the pto shaft for the topper rubs on the topper frame when I lift it. I can continue as I am but was thinking about getting a slightly bigger tractor. Any suggestions that won't break the bank?

I was thinking of doing similar this time last year and was looking at 70-80hp 4wd tractors.

The most common ones that would pop up in the €10-€15k bracket, close to me, in Mayo were Case, Zetor, and the odd Landini.
Maybe a 165 if you don’t need the 4wd?

Have a scroll on DoneDeal with your budget in mind and you’ll get an idea of what’s out there for your budget
