Lord Ferguson Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Been toying with the idea of buying a tractor for some time now... a 35 or a 135 perhaps... but now I am considering buying a new one... would be nice to be the first to get my bum on the seat \ Your thoughts would be welcome... as "she who has to be obeyed" just say * in a roll your eyes type voice * "Oh you do what you like" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 So come on then... what do you think... I don't plan to do much with it really... except learn how to plough properly \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 well i can take care of the ploughing bit but i think you would be better off with going for the older tractors first, why spend all that moey on a ew one just to sit in a shed somewhere not being used. Not being used could cause all sorts of trouble in the long run, especially with oil seals \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks Gav... never thought of that... but I guess that will apply to any tractor I buy... and I just MUST have one Old or new \ Not so much with an older tractor as the seals will be worn in more, new seals are more likely to suffer from a memory effect and leak. Got to be old in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I'd go for a 135 or 165 Marky...... Reaons:- 1) For the cost of that 410 I'm sure you could get a good condition 135 and plough 2) The appeal of the wee 135 and 165 if you were to go to ploughing matches etc would be much greater...... 3) Of course if anything goes wrong on a 135 it'll be pretty easy to fix...... ......and in general I'm sure the satisfaction of owning a peice of farming history would be greater than owning a modern 410......

MJB1 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 why not buy a 410 & a 135 marky , we all know you can afford it :D :D get a nice little ifor williams trailer to put the 135 & plough on & tow it to the poughing matches with the 410 if you read the CT write up about the 410 , it is in all intensive purposes a modified 135, many parts for the 410 are the same parts using part numbers used for the 135, the lads are right though , the 135 will retain it's value , the 410 will depreciate quite quickly & if it lasts as long as a 135 then it'll be nearly 35-40 years before you see it as an investment do the right thing for yer ploughing .get yerself a little DB885 fantastic match ploughing tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
