My standard answer for "what the least you ll take "question is" as much as I can get"
Only problem with the flotations is when you go to replace them you are at risk of a heart attack when you get the price! Anyone try low profile super singles 445mm wide Vs 385mm on super single.
Have 24ft broughan here on the low wide super singles,seem to be ok in the field,floatation were 500 more.They would have stuck out more outside the body of the trailer and left the load a nice bit higher with bales 3 high
I'm vat registered for the machinery work so that's a help. If I had a loader on it, it could do feeding instead of the jcb, topping, stacking and hauling bales. When you add up the running costs of owning a tractor vs hiring there's not much in it, also you haven't to pay for repair bills
A brand new 150 hp tractor with auto steer and loader will set you back 2k a month
hiring a tractor similar spec tractor would be 3k plus a month those figures incl vat
after 5 years you own the tractor if you buy it - if you hire it you have nothing
depends on everyone’s own circumstances but it’s like renting a house vs owning one
120k plus the vat at 0% finance, by the above figures, I thought you'd be talking at least 140 plus vat and re the 0% with new holland you need to come up with half the finance amount our a trade-in of similar value to get 0%
I thought New Holland offered 3 year 0% regardless of amount. Now paying for a €120k + machine over 3 years with no trade would take some doing. €40k or more a year in payments.
Local contractor looked to change 5 yr old nh t6.180 in very good nick, has a bigger tractor for bulk of work, case coming in 30% cheaper and on 0% for more or less same machine bar the paint
That's not the case (pardon the pun) down here in Wexford. The main case dealer down here is actually pricing himself out.
Tis gas, pays to shop around anyway. This would be a man that would regularly change his gear as well so you'd imagine a customer to hold onto, I dunno
I passed a fastrac with a haybob on today
I see a fastrac on Facebook marketplace and the seller described themselves as a hobby farmer.
sure Jeremy Clarkson is a hobby farmer too, its not his main source of income
A 15 year old tractor is worth 40k as a trade in thou- case 125
What are the actual figures, 2000 k a month includes a 40k trade in so? David is going for a straight deal no trade in...
I'd be going for a straight deal.
1740 incl vat a month with a trade in
A lad i work for runs 2 wagons on floatations . 550 or 560 i think.
When we get punctured the spare is a supersingle. When ground starts getting soft , the supersingle tends to cut the gound.
20 years ago we were going away from the duel wheels to the supersingles as the duels always took a lot of muck out on the road in wet ground itwas seen as a massive improvement.
But in the end the supersingle are road tyres. They were popular as they were cheap.
Personally id stay away from the lowloader idea as a low ground pressure idea.
Smaller wheels dont tend to roll as easy. 3 sets of duel wheels would pull out a lot of muck between them
Perhaps the 40 year old tractor will be worth €100,000 and the 20 year old tractor will be scrap in 20 years time. Who knows?
I don't know, I changed mine last year, I was talking to a friend and the same tractor is 20k dearer
Does anyone have any experience of Gem sprayers? They seem to be decent value compared to the Berthoud and Hardi.
Tidying up the place since the old man passed on. This has been sitting around for 20years I would think. Tidy up and Sell or just Sell, thinking the latter. Takes 6 bales.
I think I'd just sell as is. When you put paint to it the buyer nearly thinks they have some come back.
Was it your father made this himself or do you know where it came from?
I've a trailed Gem. It's a tank bar the booms on mine are showing it's age.
I'd say try and sell it as it is. There should be a fair bit of interest in it, as these wouldn't be up for sale every day within the budget of a smaller operator. There certainly wouldn't have been many of them around 20 years ago. Some lad looking for a winter project will probably jump at it...
Ya, he was an old Woodwork/Metalwork teacher so had a good eye. Designed and made himself before they existed and we used it plenty when the draw was long. Thanks all for the advise
That's nearly a collectors item so. I was thinking it was a special made.
Ask enough anyway and put that in the add that it was made by your father and when. And put that he was a Woodwork/Metalwork teacher. The very best of luck.
There was a few pieces of vintage machinery sold at home for buttons during a tidy up years ago, to make space.
The man that bought them originally is long gone and there is now huge regret not keeping some of the old machinery for sentimental reasons.
There is loads of space for them now
Sold a MF 65 that belonged to the father at a local auction about 25 years ago, regretted it from the minute it was sold.
Same with a 135. Unless the 65 is now scrapped, never say never, that you won't get a chance to buy it back or swap him another 65 if you really wanted it back.
