I could name 6 or 7 lads with 3.2l pajero's within 5 miles of me all had pump failures, that aside they are bulletproof nothing else goes wrong in them, i'd have them ahead of landcruisers.

I had a 3.2 Pajero for 8 years and there was never an issue with the fuel pump. However, the clutch, flywheel and transmission were made of cheese and the automatic transmission is apparently the one to go for.

Bought a 2006 LWB Landcruiser in September 2009 from local Toyota dealer.One owner and approx 60k on it.Was like new to be fair.
Paid 16k inc. vat.
That was about the price of them at the time as had looked at a few and anything similar was about that money.

Back in 2006 at peak Celtic Tiger, 3 year old Land Cruisers were close to €30K and weren't particularly plentiful or tidy at that money. In 2009, Toyota were also discounting new ones heavily due to the collapse in demand.

You did well there, reason I know - was looking at that time and toyota LC was 5 to 6k dearer than other makes ( all else being equal) Bought 07 pajero sport 2.5 , been a good jeep no major repairs since ( changed flywheel to solid as they supposed to give trouble)

had a 2006 sport. Bought it in 2007 and put 300km on it with no issue ever except a turbo blew but it was traced back to a faulty spurious oil filter so cant blame Mitsubishi for that.

Ah sure it must be. The bigger the tyre the less rolling resistance, the more tyre in contact with the ground, the less impact on the soil. I couldn't give you %'s better but it'd have to be.

I was worried about the dribble bar sticking up in the high heavens and catching a shoot and telephone wires.
Have a deal done on a major dribble bar with vogelsang macerator this morning. 7.5m but folds up very tidy behind.

Well wear, did Barry source the tanker for you?
Had thought about changing tanker here but sticking with umbilical for the time being

Cheers!
No i found it through done deal.
Dribble bar will be Barry.

I'm a little worried about the size of it but we'll see what'll happen. It tracks the tractor fairly well. Dumpy drawbar on the tanker means I have to tie up the lift arms though.

First was a 2.5, Following 2 and current one were 3.2

A friend showed me a 05 swb he bought over the weekend. It's very clean and 150,000 miles @ €7500, he's the last 6 months watching donedeal and missed out on several that were sold within a few hour's.

ruwithme · 14-01-2021 12:24AM

I'd think that not a outrageous price for that Albert. If she has test & a bit of tax &is lucky she will be grand

Re the chassis,they do go a bit to say the least hard on them in some cvrt centres.
The lassie who finished me with me 99 reg, went on soon after to get a plum job with the RSA.

I suppose it probably isn't that dear given the market atm and the fact that it looks safe enough condition wise. As you said if it's lucky then that's half the battle.

There's another part of me that says it's a serious outlay for a 16 year old jeep and no matter how clean it looks that it's best day's are over. What price is a new swb commercial land cruiser?

kevthegaff · 14-01-2021 08:17AM

Why is there such a difference with the commercial landcruisers and the seated ones in price?

Vrt on passenger models would push them 20/30k dearer when new. New commercial lwb is around the 45k I think?

I wonder why are they in such demand at the moment?

Diesel is cheap and lads are doing less mileage during lockdown so less running costs.
In 2011 diesel broke €1.50 per litre and keeps were given away. I saw clean 5 year old hilux at that time sold for €8,750 out of a Toyota dealer.

09 to 12 were lean years economy wise so demand wasn't there for them either

There's lots of lads sitting at home watching donedeal that would usually be away working so anything resembling a bargain doesn't last long. Also the lack of holidays, night's out, weddings ect means there's a shortage of ways to spend your disposable income so a jeep might start to look attractive when you have money burning a hole in your pocket.

Good few fixer upper vintage tractors on the move too.

Indeed there is. I saw this on Facebook the other day and ended up purchasing. Compared to other vintage makes, there was very good value in it I think. He's throwing in new mudguards with it aswell and fixing a couple of engine issues before it leaves his yard. Quite happy with it, will be a nice project.

Hard to believe you could purchase 2 of those beasts for the price of a clean 35x.

That’s an original one you got!

Yeah the masseys in particular are mad priced for what they are. Very happy with it alright, rare to see a bonnet that clean on a crystal. Was imported from the UK in the early 90s so that would probably explain it.

I'll hopefully use it for spreading dung and chain harrowing and a few other bits. It'll hold its value at the very least anyway.

Reggie. · 14-01-2021 12:06PM

Thinking of getting a landleveller for the reseeding. Would ya be better off with an 8ft or 10ft. I'd be mindful of travelling the roads.

Thinking of the dowd one made in cavan

Haven't seen the 12011 in person but going from the posts on facebook it looks a serious job. Compared to what it was like when he got it.

Anything that could be classed as a luxury or hobby is a flying trade atm. Vintage tractors, caravans, campers, horses, dogs ect are all significantly dearer than this time last year.

I got a good heavy 9ft one made up for that reason. Very easy to clip a land leveller off a car as lads don't see it.
If torn between the 2 I'd recommend the 8ft. Nearly as heavy as the 10ft and the main frame will be the same which will give a better finish in the field. 10ft could tend to skip over stuff too much - plus the hazard on the road

Looks like he took the sidelights and the towing jaw off it for his 12011.

They are a mighty machine the 8011 - does your have the original seat or a replacement? Is it going straight to work or are you for doing any work to it?

Replacement seat, it'll be in the shed for a while anyway, might do a bit of work on the floor of it. Probably won't be used for proper work until later in the spring.
