Deere-est Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 You say decent tyres on the Fendt??? The fronts are worn out, that's a grand already!! The Massey would be a damn safe buy though mate. I'm keeping my options very much open for the next year, if I do fine myself in a position to buy something then I hope to get a Deere 3050, 3350 or 3650. Case 1056XL. ... possibly eben stretching to a 5140. A Ford/NH 8340 wouild also be nice. .. Contract hire like you say, always a good option. Fuel and labour is about all you put into the machine so with Hunts, Listers, Whites and Vaughans all within 10miles. ... Better start saving!!

They look worse in the photo there is a good 30-40% tread or so on them really good enough for a few more hours good for trailer work etc and fert spinning but not to long really if want grip if was called onto plough or something. All good choices there tris I would look into them but I need more power with most average kit round here needing 140hp. But i did look very closely at Massey and its good nick apart from what bloke said no service history \ Thats why looked at contract hire cause then work that into the charge and then my savings i can use for setting up diesel etc Well never know trie we may cross paths working for same bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Chaff was full of bugs etc luke thats one reason didnt use if for bedding and another is that its just far too dusty and light not worth the effort really Here am this morning just about to start topping again And this evening after me and foreman fixed my rear window parked along side magnum :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
