Few more of some of the CATs

Allis ?1000 which was tempting...

Genuine dispersal? He must be sitting back thinking it's the best thing he's ever done! Seriously strong prices!

?12k for a 3140, ?9k for a 3130?! Too rich for me!!

Was a single man who died recently - he didn't seem to sell anything just keep it. Apparently he used to wax the tractors, and had seat covers and carpets in them.

more pics please them ones are great

Give me a wee while to 'zap' them. 

Well I went to the sale today and met BBLQ from here. It was a bit of a laugh as the prices were just loony...see if you agree or not. I missed a few and maybe Bill will correct any errors.

First up the modern (mainly) Masseys:

4cyl 35. ?2800

35 with recon. engine. ?3300

35 with cab ?4300 (?)

135 with cab ?8200

135 with safety frame  ?8800

165 with cab ?6800

168 with duals. ?4700

188 with loader ?11000

3080  ?11000

3095  ?12400

3130  ?8800

3140  ?11900

4250  ?12000

Calm down now Marky but this didn't sell at ?8000 but may have gone after the sale....

I've got lots more pics but fewer prices of the CATs and older (vintage) tractors if anyone would like to see.

Just a couple from today. My neighbour finishing spring barley on late ploughed land. Renault 620 RZ opened up to 190 hp.

His trusty JCB 926 forklift. 

All well and good going fast with a blade until you hit the 'immovable object'. 

They'll be putting those tracks on lawn mowers next 

Huge amount of interest - people coming from Devon even 

Another lovely day but bloomin' windy. Very dry.

TT has banned me from buying anything.....I will obey  :

Nice line up James - a tractor for every job. 

So that may have been Brighton Beach - Melbourne........

All the best Simon. 

A huge great nail in forklift tyre.....

I must be 'old school', PR   

Even with a reversible multifurrow plough, you can make a good, even job and finish off nicely. Just take a bit of time to set up before starting, it's actually easier nowadays with lower link sensing etc, but some people just hare off with the machine way off, and wonder why the field is like the N. Sea afterwards.

Some of these prices seem crazy but then I suppose many of us think the prices for 5000's and 135's are mad as well \

They are 

Good idea and well done..

Definitely looks the part!

You see now JOhn if you hadn't been at the JCB yesterday it would be done by now :D

Ah! But I'm content knowing that the boom is good inside! 

A couple from today - same job different tractor 

130 kg/ha AN on WOSR. Wind got up this afternoon and I had to stop....

Do they make the bodies/metal too or are they by a 'big' manufacturer?

Like the spring loaded discs though. 

Very smart job, indeed.  Also like the silage bale handler...

New tyres for her soon too

Nah! Years left in them....   They're Michelins and come with very little tread when new anyway....she spends 90% of her life on hard so not too important. 

I've been doing a 'Tris' - mucking out hens - smaller scale though. 

1.5 ^oC, and breezy giving wind chill of -11^o, here but looks like no snow for us......

That is one very very tidy tractor MD - good photography too. 

Well I was looking at a Valtra T151, Class Arion 640, MF 6480/90, T6080 or T7030. 

After considerable debating I decided to go for a T6080 the 7030 is just a whole lot heavier with similar power.......not everyone's machine but the 8360 has done me really well so fingers crossed. It won't be here until June - July. Front linkage and PTO again and most of the little gadgets everyone expects nowadays.  :D
