FW Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Very nice! I just love that tractor and have found a similar one (3050) locally, just need to work on my Dad as he's never had green on the farm and would rather keep the fleet red. :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Could you tell me that asking price Mike? Just to get an idea as when I get home I will be helping Traci's dad make a new purchase - something along these lines. Any info would be great mate.

sparrow legs Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 the way i look at it is i cant aford ?30k for a new tractor so i bought this gem and painted her up, she is 25 years old, about 7000hrs and still earns a good days work, simon, the cab is worn inside, no clading to the rear, sides, dash ok , rest now removed, just ordered some rubber "boots" that go either side of the seat were the lift arms go into at full lift. i got the tractor 4 years ago (4951hrs) , it was smart but bonnet was rusty in places, was re painted by a car finisher last year (110% job) and the chassie, cab, back end, wheels were hand painted. the tractor is kept in tip top condition, any thing fails its put right, no matter the cost its had new tyres all round, fronts perished and were replaced, rears were swapped for new goodyears (part worn ones were put on my duel wheels) standard tyres are 16.9/r38 but this is on 18.4r/38 (fit front flotations when on land work, power harrowing (4m) and drilling) the tactor has been drove by many drivers were i hire it out but now with the new flail it is now going to be owner driver only (me) just had it on a dyno and its putting 96hp out, was only rated at 90hp when new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Fair shout Mike on that. It isn't a case of doing it cheaper, it's a case of doing it well and I dare say from what you've said thats your logic. Nice outfit, regardless of the cost. When you see these contractors aruond with their big shiney gear it is easy tio think thats what you need to do the job. I bet half the gear we all see isn't actually owned by the operator though.
