    It's not justifiable anymore when your talking 110k plus for a medium spec 160hp tractor, put a couple of thousand hours on it and you'll be lucky to get 50k for it, and the kicker will be its replacement will be gone up to 130k plus in the meantime, contractors locally here are just picking up really fresh low houred down in the years tractors 14/15 plates now instead of going new

    Maybe?though i doubt it unless you believe they were cheaper in the last 5years. Countries being awash with new tractors this last number of years. Lads in this country are cracked when it comes to machinery and something abit dear doesn't seem to stop em.

    Bit like the lads who like expensive cattle and vintage stuff

    Garages back to serving you parts at the door with level 5? i hope not.cannot see why one person in store or whatever premises size would allow with distancing wouldn't work safely.

    Good weather last time round outside service wasn't much issue. now it's a different story

    You just have to wonder will the prices just cap out at some point or is it just going to stay going up, several years ago I remember the prices being ridiculous and thinking they can't get anymore expensive, and then dealers blaming it on emission control, don't think they can play that card anymore..

    Not really as the prices are seriously high now. Some lads might still buy but majority of people will say no thanks. Second hand machines will dry up then or become even more expensive

    Swapped a 16 t6140 with loader here in the spring with 4600 hours for a 15 puma 160 with 2300 hours and new front links and pto for 15k, new holland cost around 11 euro a hour all in for repayments/repairs/depreciation etc, priced swapping same tractor for a 19 plate t6145 ex demo with loader 400 hours and was looking at having to give 40k to change, which worked out at over 20 euro a hour all in, which was crazy

    Looking to do something similar here ,just need a bigger tractor.Everyone talks about hp but weight is nearly as important. Its funny how diggers are sold by weight not hp.i would contend that tractor s between 5 and 10 k hrs give the best value between capital cost and repair

    Coyle in athy is bringing in alot of very fresh big nh/case tractors and hasn't mad money on them he's about 10k cheaper I'd say then what you would be paying a main dealer for equivalent tractors

    Where would be the best place to go looking for a 14ft trailer chassis? Preferably a twin axle.
    Looking for something to build off, so a scrappable body would be fine. Haven't found much on done deal.

    Thanks - I thought I had Smyth added.

    would most trailers up to 20ft have solid axles and at most a sprung drawbar?

    Can't think of any other tractor drawn ones, unless Kane, perhaps?
    Jeep drawn, you could add Hamilton and Porter, and while no longer manufactured, Darragh Boats built trailers for a few years.

    100%. Sure that's why I'm currently doing so badly on the polls.



    Nearly all the election campaign funds had to be diverted for parts and labour when the engine of the big yoke packed in last month!
