NewHolland2 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 This seems to be a very genuine tractor...... Only thing I'm not sure about is the 30K road speed...... \ How many horses do 3070's have under the bonnet? http://pykett-tractors.co.uk/index.php?p0=detail&id=451 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Martin, don't touch it A mate went the other week to look at it as he wanted it to replace his ageing Lamborghini 754. He said the engine didn't sound too good at all similar to a bag of spanners and got progressively worse as he neared 30k \ Engine oil also looked a tad creamy so to speak maybe leaking water into it from somewhere \ He wasn't impressed and quickly moved on The JD 3350 is nice a nice tractor, we had a look at it the other day and is in pretty good nick, but at ?8,750 it might be a bit out of your price range \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 How far you willing to travel Mart? My mate has a 3080 Autotronic, a 3090 (maybe another 3080 actually???) and 2850 sg2 with Quicke brackets in his yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 wouldn't touch it mart , the 60/70 wernt all that with it i'm afraid , the 3065's were better & much improved but too small for what you want really , but they do have this http://pykett-tractors.co.uk/picts/pro_b_1_396.jpg would be a better proposition for what you want in terms of useability for contract work , hours are on the high side , but it looks well looked after , all things considered . it doesn't really matter what make you buy when yer on a budget, anything could go wrong with tractors that old . an MF 3125 ,ford 8210 ,case ih 956,jd 3050/3350 are the tractors i'd look out for if i were to start up again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 if it's a local tractor to the dealer mart you may be lucky enough to get hold of the last owner , but to see a tractor that age in that condition gives a good idea as to how it's been looked after , is it an ex-contractors machine you reckon ? i still reckon that 3630 would have been worth a closer look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 A problem you could run into mart is sure ok you spend your limit on a tractor but if some time on from then the jolly thing needs a big job doing on it it may be an ask to find the money to get that job done if your only doing odds en sods with it while still at school. What ever you do I wish you all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
