More than likely bought the lot haha...
At them prices I’d say a lot of them could end up in a certain midlands former new Holland dealer and a tidy profit will be made on them.
I’ve rang the mobile number on that dealers done deal adds once today and once yesterday in relation to a machine they’ve advertised and got no answer or no call back both days so I’m not surprised they’re not shifting stuff!
Found this online
Fuel, Hydraulic, oil just changed new filters as well, thought it was low on Hydralic oil but just topped up now and light still on.
Maybe it's just a service light?
Does anyone know what this warning light is on a new holland?
Doesn’t the wheel be always turning. What’s that they say, “be nice to everyone on the way up as you may need their help on the way down”
Ya
Buckley?
Yeah that's the one, bought a new tub feeder their in September 2022 and id say of memory the new stock they had at the time, theirs tractors still their, that haven't sold their mystery men how they can mothball machinery and not have to shift it
Is that the yard in the city on the Hebron road (or around that area)? I passed by it last week and noticed plenty of Valtras inside the railings. It was closed so couldn't go in tyre kicking
Our local Valtra man has got very needy lately alright. He would hardly answer the phone to you a couple of years ago
Certain brands here have collapsed in 2023 sales, valtra would be a good example, theirs 10 plus new 22/23 plate valtras down in kilkenny in a dealer's yard that haven't shifted....
The prices for the new hollands above which come with full dealer warranty are circa 25-35k cheaper than what you'd be asked here of a dealer for, but with new holland doing 0% finance it would be closer to 15k accounting for financing the above tractors with a bank loan
We won't know until 2025 how tractor sales in Ireland went last year. Dunno why tractors are treated different to cars/trucks/etc. It will be interesting to see if sales have fallen. I suspect they have. Will that reflect in lower prices?
Volkswagon have cut prices for cars over the last few weeks too, but that's more due to Tesla cutting prices and the influx of Chinese cars. Until someone like John Deere comes out with prices cut/slashed, then they'll remain high. That's just my 2 cents
Seems the machinery bubble has finally burst in the UK, llyods sold of ex-hire new hollands yesterday with full warranty etc for sub 100k euro plus vat converted including fees
Was up on the the farming forum uk re the above prices
Bombproof tractor once the previous owners kept the brakes right and changed, if not and ran them to metal you'll end up with a potential 10k plus bill for gearbox repairs, had the equivalent in a new holland traded her at 6000 hours and no repairs bar servicing, chatting dealer theirs 10000 hours on her now and has given little our no trouble with the next owner either
Lovely tractor wouldn’t mind having one- mine are the larger models
What do you think of the tractor? 4 cylinder. 130 horsepower.
Probably looking 70000 inc vat
How much do you reckon this tractor would cost?
And what do you think of them? It's probably sold but is buying a tractor with 7300 hours a bit risky?

“Doc told me to travel but there’s a quadtrac on the plane”
I saw this on the farmers weekly page
Totally agree. Ive mowed for a contractor for nearly 20 years for a trailed harvester, baler and wagon.
Tight corners were never appreciated by any of the above.
We always made headway when we had parallel sets with any of the above.
Was always told that the mower was easily able to keep ahead but the harvester , wagon or baler was the one that was making the money so you do what you need to speed them up
That’s what you get baling after a flat mower, pure hardship.
Anyone going to lamma on Thursday
Try and get a contractor to bale up grass like that.
It's very hard to get the pickup reel to grab the row. Even if it does it will leave bits behind
Is it not impossible to bale after a non conditioner mower without raking. And even raking you have to be really scrapping the ground.
Also contractors around here have either self propelled mowers or triple mowers on big tractors. If you mind it half right it will be worth most of what you pay for it in 10 years.
Krone or Pottinger
Another 40 acres of topping+ per yr , the joy of being able to cut an acre when it suits my agenda, the joy of knowing the wet parts in my field and being able to dance around them when cutting.
The 10K in cost will will cover the cost of cutting it for 10+ years by a contractor and if you borrow the money and look for the diesel you use it will 15+.
