NewHolland2 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Have had the offer of this tractor for around 4.5-5k......Just wanted a few general pieces of info about it...... What HP is it and what road speed would it likely have? Comments welcome as always folks......Not sure if I want to go for something as small as this but perhaps it just looks small to me from the pics...... ;) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 get it bought thats a proper tractor jst needs some bigger back tires on it Aye yer right, the backs could do with being a bitty bigger...... what do you want to know?? 77.4 hp 33.8 k on standard tyres That's about the two questions I really wanted mate cheers...... :) She's a little cracker Mart, you'll get more plesure from that than the wee fergie thats for sure..... and she'll go straight to work. Nice wee yoke ain't she mate...... Not sure though if she's only around 80hp, I could probably do with slightly more...... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Save all that money for a car Mart, and more important the insurance getting a Saxo VTR for me is costing me the heaven and earth! Might have to result to a robin reliant \ Up to you Mart, your call, If you want a bit more poke try an 885 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 looks smart but word of warning, i bought a 3040 2wd (90hp) and it aint big enough for general hire, it will pull a 4m power harrow or a 10 ton trailer but it aint on top of the job, buy 110hp at least, cost a bit more but will gain more work im a jd man (green blood) but must admit im looking at a massey (3095 or 3125) for that bit more power and can trade my jd in and get a much newer massey without parting with much money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 i dont think you could go wrong with her mart, i still see plenty of those working round this way on the moors ect, some farms having owned them from new to, great little work horses ,fair few dealers round still for parts to,easy mechaniclly for ya,with no computers ect, prob a great first contractors tractor overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 nice find mart , but mikes right , if it's contracting your out to do you really need a minimum of 100hp mate the bigger 956 would be the better bet & that big massey has more grunt for the money quote from CT on the 844 also applies to the 785 apparently QUOTE; all the main components are robust & reliable, but let maintainance slip,or buy one in need of repairs & the costs can escalate alarmingly. It is therefore a case of 'buyer beware'as we discover what separates a good used example from a potential wallet emptier march 2005 issue 47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Thanks for the opinions folks......I must admit to thinking myself she would be a bit under-powered for the work...... \ I'll see if I can source anything else slightly larger hp wise......She does look like a tidy example though......

MJB1 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 yes they do age rather well mart , not often you se a rusty example , of any of these models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
