CX820Joe Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Found this earlier, from Farmers Guardian about a couple of Farmers who are running bigger second hand 4wd's to save against depreciation on new models; Sounds as though the fields of the East Midlands could be an interesting place to visit! http://www.farmersguardian.com/story.asp?sectioncode=28&storycode=17158 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 makes pefrect sence really, pretty much what we did all those years back, the 1250 was only really used for ploughing and heavy cultivation work on a few of the fields, so didnt really do that many hours each year, was very cost effective to run, parts cheap, and probally sold for nearly as much as they paid for it truth be known at the auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Great photos Jamie, I'd love to see a beast like that at work round here! The only 1200 I know of locally doesn't do that much work these days yet its still in pretty good nick; I don't know if it was bought second hand or from new; it certainly has a local registration, and has been at the same farm since the late 80's...wonder if they've always had it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
