catkom3 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Claas Axion 930 might be worth considering as your front line tractor with 257 - 350 HP that should tick some of the box's.http://www.claas.com/cl-pw/en/products/tractor/axion900/tech_daten/start,bpSite=51524,lang=en_UK.html Regards Joe.PS and it's a cracking looking tractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 some i rotate tris,most go on ebay!!!! Do you do it on BIN and get back what you pay give or take a few quid or does it work out a bit of a loss having the change rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley Farms Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 At Oakley we are thinking of changing the jd 8530 for a cat as thinking about soil compaction so be interesting to see how you get on with it, also thinking of changing drills, got a britains vaderstad in pieces to do up but i did like that horsch tiger you had, smart bit of kit, horsch pronto 4mtr is too small and i dont like the ROS horsch either so undecided what to do, will be keeping an eye on this one!

SPN Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 thanks everybody,still cant find a nice 200-250hp run around,jd 6210r got to change the front hitch,mf 7499 or 7624,got to spray the wheels,t7070 so far is one model you dont have to touch,claas axion 850 i suppose,dont know if its the diabetes,but my eyesight is getting worse,so is my patience,that just might be my age!!!!,but i want the second tractor to be usable right out of the box,with no faffing about,i could keep one of my fendt 820's,but they are getting a bit long in the tooth now,anyway no rush The Fendt 828 and 724 might also be possibilities then.

Niels Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 You won't regret get a 765D Paul. Its the best Cat of the lot so far. As SPN says why not stick with the Fendts and trade the 820 for a 724? Schuco's correctly painted model looks good, or Wikings 828 if you like a bit more hp? There be a dualled up version soon as well. If you like something smaller you can always opt for UH's Fendt 516. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Do you do it on BIN and get back what you pay give or take a few quid or does it work out a bit of a loss having the change rounds? no buy it now tris,unless they offer me outside of ebay ,which sometimes happens,and it varies,some models i have sold and think are you nuts i wouldnt pay that others even money,others a loss,so i would say slightly up on the whole thing tris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love vaderstad equipment and have the topdown myself, but like you said the britains rapid to say the least is a bit basic, i was thinking of adding handrails to the steps and platform, spare wheel, marker arms and a fan, the uh 8mtr is just too big for me but great detail, i may buy it and break down for parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 be a shame to break it up alex,and expensive,im sure you would be able to get the parts somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley Farms Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Thats true it is an expensive way of doing it, in a way could do with scrapping the big seed tank and wheels at the front and mounting the britains tank and drawbar on it and cutting the width down to 6 mtrs, not sure if thats possible or would look right but the marker arms and coulters and following harrows with pre em markers are perfect, hmmm difficult one!
