I will be on the look out for a clean 100-120HP tractor at the start of next month. The thing being it won't do a whole pile, but I want something fresh enough. A bit of a trophy tractor if you will. But will have some work to do for as long as it lives.

In an ideal world the tractor would be a JD6400/10 or 6506/6600/6610 with or without loader on reasonably wide tyres (520/38's minimum but 30/40% is ample) and has to have A/C.
Hours wouldn't really bother me once it was a minded machine, 8/9k hours would do fine.

A quick scan around and I can't find much in this bracket, does such a tractor still exist for sale?

They are out there still but most are not for sale, you may be lucky just be patient!
You can tell the right machine as soon as you see it generally, if your not sure its usually better to walk IMO.

Yeah that's the problem unfortunately.
I nearly bought one 5 years ago but built a shed instead with the money.
Why did I have to be sensible!

I know the feeling, when I win the lottery, but where is the fun in that, it would be borring if everything was easy, for that reason I don't do the lottery!

It does look like a fine machine, to be honest it could be out of my price range. Would be wasted on me when what I get will only be doing a couple of hundred hours a year. If you are going to turf it let me know the coin please.

I was at William bells yard in Fivemiletown yesterday and he has a MINT!! JD 6610 se. I didn't ask the price but I never saw such an immaculate second hand tractor in my life and not likely to again. It was literally like new, the cab interior was like new!
