    Ex airport tractors are what ya want but they come up for sale once every blue moon! There's a few tidy yokes up at knock airport but I don't think they'll ever be sold. The vintage uk council tractors were some job masseys and db's painted yellow and most with fast road gearboxes and brakes all round from factory!

    Fair points but still I reckon they are well serviced and have plenty more life in them!?

    Ya to be fair council tractors should be in grand condition any rough topping or hedge cutting is going to be much harder on the implement rather than the tractor and the beauty of non farm tractors is they never see manure so the tin work is usually mint unless of course it's bord na mona yokes or any machines that have to operate near water!

    I see on DD ganley in Kildare have ex council Masseys for auction. Would be well worth it if the money was right, well minded and all they really do as far as I can see is cut grass!

    Any link??

    All I've heard about these auctions is that the crap is cheap and good machines are scarse and bid up to the point where there is little value.

    Anyone buy at the last auction ??

    When did they start having these auctions? Was last year the first one? If so, they must have got on well.
    You would want to be getting alot of them yokes to take away, the world of scrap there...

    I used to work for the bord years ago, they got lots of John Deere 6830s in 2010, they would have been bought to replace the old fleet of mainly Fords (TW 15s, 8210s and some 8630s), and Fiats (mostly 140-90s, and some F140s).
    The tractors would be regularly serviced, but have a mix of drivers, some are good, some I wouldn't let drive a remote controlled car! The cabs and body work are very rough though.

    A few 140 160-90s look in good condition, what sort of money would they be looking at?

    id say a decent one of those would always be worth what you paid for it. Those big Fiats are camels of yokes and I bet they would do anything you ask of them. they would be a fine job for a big slurry tank or trailed harvester. plenty of weight and horsepower

    It'd be 20k+ with vat and transport etc etc but isn't it a beaut and so original in comparison. I admit I'm a sucker for detail. Them yokes bnm have look like they were pulled through bog and got severe abuse. Each to there own though, they have there uses

    Had a look at them one nice 140-90 with no starter, rough gear but a bit of a lucky bag. Didn't stay around for auction as I'd say plenty of interest, and no time for fixing up a machine till winter
