    You'd rent a yoke for a hundred a day until your tractor gets fixed. Cheaper than buying anyway.

    Mate of mine bought an 856xl for €5200 for wrapping . It could do with new tyres but good otherwise and he should get his money beck when he is finished wrapping

    Would mounting an engine on the wrapper be an option.

    Wrapped for a few years with a 2wd 885xl case. Great yoke and handy with the gears at the left so you can do gear changes while still wrapping - old lever style wrapper.
