No. 40k gearbox no air and didn’t even get a set of weights with it. But it’s a lovely tractor.
Agree with you 100%. Back in 2021 I was bidding on a mole plough in one of the Hennessy auctions, paid a bit more than i wanted to but I was happy, but other stuff made ridiculous money. I remember a clapped out Bredal spreader made 14k
AT the auction last week though, didn't a 2021 Kuhn straw blower make €12k? Even with the add-ons it looked very good value.
That's good value. Sure isn't that the joy of an auction. Its hit and miss
Are air brakes reliable or more troublesome / long lasting than regular hydraulic brakes on a tractor? Just looking at a 150 hp Valtra tractor but it has air brakes which is putting me off and I'd not be towing any implement that would have an air brake system
Surely has hydraulic brakes aswell, all the air break components on a normal tractor are a compressor unit and couplings
Air brakes are an additional braking system for trailers, not the tractor itself.
Tractor will have hydraulic brakes
Ahh silly me. I was thinking it would have air brakes like on a truck and it wouldn't have hydraulic brakes at all. 🤦
Was looking at buying a tr3/scully bale trunk for trailer work and stacking but regularly draw with double handler and one on front, how does the trunk fare out for drawing on road ?
I remember reading about a contractor who had a 2000 gallon abbey on russion wheels and a 2300 with recessed wheels.
Supposedly abbey admitted they had a similar capacity
I have a major 1700 gallon with recessed wheels and the book says 1610 gallon capacity.
Would I be right in saying that this is a dribble bar once the fittings and boot on the ends of the pipes are removed?
Yep
They charge nearly 2k for the gimic
I assume the gimic is added so it qualifies for TAMS LESS.
Correct
did anyone ever take a chance on anything like these sites. I'm around long enough to know, "that if something is too good to be true '''.
You'd be a brave man I'd say with some of those yokes.
You wouldn't see much of what you were doing with this thing I reckon
FIL bought an EverRun M16 Chinese loader in 2018, it's always giving bother, really underpowered and rusting like mad. It's also slow, smokey, noisy and came with the thinest tires known to man.
Some of the yolks on Alibaba look even worse for build quality or have a picture of an actual JCB but that definitely won't be the delivered machine if one arrives.
Impossible to get value on a nice tractor now.
Have been looking for 2 years now, seen a few that could have done but let one or two slip. One was a nice tractor but hours clock wasn't working so had no idea what hours was on it. The other the loader was warped on it and couldn't take the risk.
Had a look at this one the other day, jaw dropped when was told the price.
I thought 40k would be reasonable...it's 07, over 8600 hours and tyres are well down.
What would yas say they are asking. I know I am looking for something with a good spec but they're also giving pennies for my own, albeit old undesirable bulk of a tractor.

Even worse when you look at similar machines in NI.
This works out around 42k euro, roughly same tractor but with 1400 hours less. Of course can't buy down here as you get ripped off on VAT twice.

Looking to pick up something to give the land a lift from the poaching if the rain ever stops, what would be the best option, chain harrow? Tine harrow or anything else?
I was up in that dealers yard a few months ago, some nice gear and well priced...until you want to re-reg it down here.
It is on NI plates though. If that's the case then it may be an original NI tractor or else brought across before D'Brexit
Tine Harrow, we have a Rakeman 3000 here we’ll over 10 year now wouldn’t part with it….
When we were buying the guttler a few years ago to mount onto it for reseeds we did consider trading it in and mounting the guttler onto a palatine but decided to stick with the rakeman we had…
If I ever was replacing it I would possibly also consider a palatine
If there's anyone around you with a guttler greenmaster it would be the job
What was the asking price in Johnstone’s?
You don't pay VAT twice if it's been in NI since before Brexit
Still need to pay NI Vat and Irish VAT though, right?
Interesting. Which VAT rate is paid then?
What'd be the rough cost of the tractor then? 42k?
