    Anyone know why Claas tractors seem to be good value. I see a lot of fresh Axos selling for under 40k in DD.

    Seems to be a high spec Alpine tractor? I didn't know they were in this country.

    That guy and another crowd in north Dublin started importing them a few years ago.
    Last of the independent family owned European tractor tractor brands.

    They make an alpine tractor but that isn’t it.

    They're near up on Fendt prices I believe with a Perkins engine.

    Is it not Armatrac? We're they in Ballyboghal last time I went up to him for something about a year ago he was more or less winding down the business. They didn't really take off but I know a local veg grower that got one of them.

    Edit a second time, Collins Farm Machinery.

    I think NH are doing some finance deal, not sure if it's much as it just appeared in the feed it may be one of those start repayments 6 months later jobs but if you're deciding between 2 or 3 makes I guess the best finance offer could help the final decision

    Sometimes if you suss the finance yourself then you can get better rates off the companies and also machinery brand finance packages have the extra cost built into the price of the machine your being quoted

    I see a fella in Cavan advertising tractors for around 50,000 plus vat. Lamborghini, Same, and Deutz. Anyone any knowledge of these makes. All round thee 115hp bracket. Seems good enough value.

    I like the look of the Same, comes with loader for 50,000

    All the same tractor, different badge is the only difference.

    I thought I read somewhere that Deutz and Lambo were now the premium brands and Same/Hurliman where lower range.

    Higher horsepower tractors Deutz is the premium brand, but those smaller tractors are all almost identical to each other.

    AFAIK their grand tractors but parts can be a rob.

    Its integrated into the armrest and its electronic
    The arm rest has throttle, lifts, T bar for gears

    On the joystick itself you have the plus and minus buttons for gears aswell as the 3rd service for the loader that can turn on and off 4wd aswell if you're at a job like loading muck where you need that extra bit of push

    It was an extra at a cost of 2k but the tractor itself will be worth that but more at trade in I'd hope


    I watched a demo of a 5710 with that setup on youtube, the "brake to neutral" is a great idea too. The tractors are like a cross between a tractor and a telehandler. You could tell that the tractor was designed to be a loader tractor, and not just an after thought.

    I am looking for a second tractor to have more comfort doing my heavier jobs like mole plough and gravelling drains and for safety drawing bales. Also bit of low loader work just for ourselves with 6 ton machine. Want to future proof to being able to cope with a vacuum tank with a dribble bar/macerator.
    4/6 cylinder around 120-140hp.
    Budget: 50k (maybe....)
    Interested in a loader on it or adding a Ross More or one of the Intertech ones to it possibly.
    I know prices are gone crazy but that might be a separate debate. And waiting for the clean, genuine one...
    What are the most reliable makes and models? NHs seem most popular? Seem to be an endless array of NH/Case options 6030, 6050, 6120, 6140, maxxums, ......and so on. Any recommendations or ones to avoid? Any opinions on Valtra N series?
