I’d be trying to get them down on the price of it tbh

We bought a 2008 6480 Massey in Jan with 10500 hours for 26k

She was a bit tatty but she was straight enough all the same. She’s cost us about 4 k since we bought her.

Those cvx’s have a good reputation

2nd hand rims 600€ powder coating 600€

I blew the engine ecu jumping her after I left the lights on over night. That was 1200€ and not the tractors fault

The front axle got rebushed and new king pin bearings - haven’t got the bill for that yet

Full service.
Engine speed sensor and another sensor on the injector pump

All in all nothing major
was told the Perkins engines give bother but touch wood she’s been fine for us so far as a spare tractor. Shes racked up 500 hours since we got her in Jan. been very helpful in getting through work when we’re busy

Is that some kind of design flaw. It’s not something you would hear of often.

A wing and a prayer would be the height of it

They haven't the mechanics anymore to keep new ones going let alone the high houred trade ins, alot of dealerships locally are losing their expirenced mechanics who are going for handier jobs in the likes of Irish rail etc, had a issue here with the front pto on tractor dealer charged 1k labour for looking at it, thought a 2k part would fix it which it didn't and then said id have to drop over tractor to garage for it to be ripped apart basically, young lad sent out to it after asking around about him hasn't a bulls notion re electrics and would barley wire a plug, but still your expected to pay the above

Young cousin, exact same situation as your son. Bought a tm, 140 or so. €35000. Financed at least half it.

I would imagine you would have the pick of NH TMs, Case MXMs for that kind of budget. Valtra Ts and McCormick MX series could also be an option. Wouldn't have much of an idea on JDs or MF but I'm sure somebody else would guide you on what might be with-in budget

It looks like a Kill Agri sticker falling apart in pic 4 so it could have been sold by Pat before.He is a genuine man to deal with and will look after you,and not just down the road around the corner out of sight.
