No mf fan didn't mean it like that i was just saying how good it looks and wondered if anyone would purchase any tractor on looks alone a bit like buying a ferrari looks great but under performs compared to other less streetcred names

No no-one would purchase a tractor in this day & age cos they like the look of it surely or for the street cred

Interesting comments guys, didn't realise the economy was so good, perhaps the look of the 8240 persuades people to purchase cps it looks awesome

Comparing the two MF & Fendt how much more expensive percentage wise are the Fendts in your area as they seem to differ all around europe \

Starting to get the picture now :D

They are supposed to be the "Mutts nuts", you pay a premium for that though.

That's not just in Norfolk, i work for an electrical connector company Deutsch who have lots of dealings with JD/Renault and at the minute there are big problems if you know what i mean without saying too much.

Can't believe that is a chad valley ??? May even be now dont laugh now a Tonka tractor from the dutch outlet in the 70's

How much Gavin ???

Also heard that JD Europe are in trouble mind you think that may be Renault is that right

Is it me or are Fendt tractors starting to take over Europe

Being a ford loving tractor boy perhaps i have tunnel vision and need to remove my head from the clouds

But nearly everyone i speak to seems to be buying Fendt's at the minute even the once a John Deere owner always a John Deere owner seem to purchasing them.

Whats going on Are they as good as all that

I sold the same set not as good nick about 18 months ago  :(when the item was not fo sale just display at a local model fair) but this dealer twisted my arm to let him have it for 250 quid i was reasonably happy although may well be worth more, yours looks in better nick than mine was. Great set though.

Yeah both had original cabs with slight yellowing but that always adds to the character i think , the average rate i have found has been 6600 = 34gbp & the 5000 = 29gbp. 

Sorry meant topic

Hang about this forum i have set up must be changing things, just sold a 6600 for a mere 26GBP & a 5000 went for 44gbp. Whats going on ???

Does anyone own the 1963 version of the Super Major??

I agree DT is always helpful even if he is gritting his teeth at some of the silly mundane questions

does anyone out there have a picture of one ???

what was so special about a ltd edition 590? dont think i've seen one of them. ???

Come on guys & girlies, someone must have some idea. Or why the new Britains combines are worth more than the old massey toy of the year 1977.

Hi, Does anyone out there have any ideas why the Ford 6600's are worth more money than the earlier 5000 (square mudguard version) with virtually the same castings, doesn't make any sense to me i would have thought the older models would be worth more?

Superb Dave, i love the marshall & the DB. Barry
