Weidemann had an add popped up in a feed which said 5% off and an extra years warranty on the 4080, 5080 and telescopic versions of those models. To do with emissions legislation. Looks like they have stock to off load so if someone is in the market they're could be deals to be made.

There's supposed to be a big backlog in production as well as there's only half the numbers able to work in factories due to social distancing. Waiting times for new machines supposed to have doubled, heard that in a few places when I was looking around at the different machines out there.

Did you go to look at them Everun loaders you see on donedeal? A few others in that price range too. Be interesting to hear from someone that has been to see them or better again has bought one.

No, I was going buying secondhand so I stayed away from those. I didn't come across any in Munster or any dealers for them while looking around.

I would be like you and look to a used one from an established name before one as tempted as they might look.

This is a nice looking loader for a handy sized farm.
Anyone know anything or have experience of one?

Contractors had great meas in the bigger ones anyway. Looks like a bargain to me. I just think myself that you can't beat the tractor and loader as an all round machine. That loader wouldn't be much good for drawing bales in summer on your own.

I doubt it'd go that high.
Looks like a trade in, straight off the low loader in front of it!

I was a seasonal worker for bord na mona during the summers when I was in college. Bord na Mona didn't really ever "upgrade" their fleet that often, and when they did, they tended to keep the older machines for parts, hence why you see a lot of tractors in these sales with parts missing, I've seen a Fiat 140-90 sold at one with no front axle before. The tractors could be left out rusting away for years before being moved on.

The smaller 70hp tractors wouldn't have had a hard life, most of them would never have had the PTO switched on. However, the bodywork and cabs are in very poor condition. However, they do go for stupid money at the auctions.
The larger tractors on agri tyres or tracks would have been worked hard, mainly PTO work too. They would also have had a lot of operators, some highly competent, others I wouldn't load a bike to. In my opinion, if someone was looking for a restoration project, then get one of the larger tractors with the balloon wheels. They had one specific job all their life, pulling a peat ridger in the production months, then parked up for the rest of the year as those tyres have no grip in wet conditions (by design). No Pto work and no lift arm work.

just had a look at whats actually be sold, I would have spent many hours in a few of those 8360s, they have a lot more hours on them now!

I was looking at 20 and 30 series john Deeres and the prices are crazy. The M series john deere seems reasonably priced in comparison. Is there some issue with the M series.

Bloody fuses!

It's difficult to believe such an expensive tractor could be loaded up with the crappest bloody fuses known to man.

M series would be like a se model in the 66 series, prices quoted in dealers would have a lot of wiggle room depending where you go to, theirs 100’s of the above tractors sitting in dealers yards for 12 months plus not moving

For a stock man an se spec would be the finest.

Theyre not though, they're the similar spec to a premium 20Series, certainly a long way from an SE. Most have 96L/min pumps with front and cab suspension, 3 SCVS power/Autoquad Plus etc. The reason theyre better value is most buyers want a cheaper tractor so demand for the older ones keeping their price up and the M's are a good bit bigger tractor, too big for many lads whereas the 20/30 series were a smaller framed tractor. They're livelier too because they're smaller and lighter than them old type M series.

Have you priced a 120m lately . €100,000 will get a poverty spec 120m with loader , would not think that’s a reasonable investment

70k inc VAT for a 6 year old with 3800 hours. Makes a new tractor look cheap by comparison.
