Deere-est Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 A good 40 series Ford They are still out there and can be found at a good price - not too different from a good Deere 40/50 series to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 or massey say 3095 dynashift chuck a turbo on her and you'll have 130hp :) thats what ours was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Um we looked at a 125hp ish 40s ford, no idea what number? I was tatty paint wize but no big dents so straightish really though, needed new boots alround with would cost alot i would think. Main thing is though, its not green or red :D :D Nar blue would do really. We should have had that 3050 we looked at last year £5000 in really good nick overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 If you looking at those kind of Deere's, Ad make sure they are 40kph as the y were 30kph in the earlier years. 40 series Fords always suffer bad paint on the bonnet in particular, even some of the 60 series do. Ford 8340 you would have been looking at, it's 125hp. They are a good tractor, better for you guys I would think though would possibly be a 7840 SL Dual Power.

nashmach Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Adam, I put a topic up here a few months ago looking for views on a similar size tractor for our farm. I'll find the link for you in a few minutes. For waht you want I would go for a IH 955 or Ford 8210 - not much point in spending too much money unless you have other work lined up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Too slow, Colm. Pulling the County around the eastern counties will want a bit more grunt. Not that I am in any way knocking an 8210 of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=23841.0 Here you go Adam - maybe this will confuse you even more given all the makes and models mentioned :D If you want to know anything else feel free to PM me Too slow, Colm. Pulling the County around the eastern counties will want a bit more grunt. Not that I am in any way knocking an 8210 of course I know what you are saying Tris but a lot have put 7710 gearboxes in them and they are back up to 20mph Personally I'd rather have something slow than something that costs a mint and can't really be justified if you see what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Go for it Adam and get a bigger County to pull the smaller County ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Never mind the 40 series Fords Adam, find yourself a nice late model 8630, pull like a train, 40kph gearbox and full powershift, comfortable and nice to drive. Spent many hours on one in the past http://www.robertwraightltd.com/machines_images.aspx?stocknum=13523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
