    Welcome to boards.

    If you're buyin a tractor mainly to drive a diet feeder get something with ground speed pto. If the diet feeder blocks you simply engage the ground speed pto and reverse slowly to release it. A lot simpler than breaking chains or shearbolts.

    Same and older fiats had it, zetor as well but I wouldn't recommend one of them!:mad: Does the agrostar have the ground speed pto?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Dono bout older deutz's, but newer ones are ment to be great. Nice power full engine. The cabs are awkward as fook though especialy the gears.

    Spoze ask a mechanic. Make sure he gets it serviced 1st for ya, no nasty suprises, happened us with a tyre on a tanker. Al in all cost bout €800 to get fixed :(
