What sort of spec was that? Pretty basic or had all the bells and whistlesA 4 pot 130 hp Claas with loader was 68k in 2020 turned up 21 . Probably add 10k to that now
AhNot 100% sure I’m going to trade it in or not so just looking roughly on what people were paying for new tractors of all brands
600s tyres Trellebourg cab and axle suspension 4spools top Mx loaderWhat sort of spec was that? Pretty basic or had all the bells and whistles
Although you are right I’m still sad!1k a horsepower less abit of discount
Jesus my 115 a8 maxxum plus loader with a decent spec was 66, christ, stuffs going bonkers. 4 years agoYou might get a base spec case Maxxum 125 and loader for £90k
4 pot?Neighbour took delivery of a 6150R John Deere a month ago, 4 pot all bells and whistles no loader £137,000
Always found a loader tractor ha suited my needs and currently never had issues with it not being suitable.I’m sorry if I larf
Q should have been asking about a general purpose tractor that can mount a loader and do what seems like every job on the farm
Be prepared to spend a shed load of £’s and still not be satisfied
From my perspective a loader tractor isn’t suitable for cultivations. Way too much to do to make it so.
IMO I’d buy a SH JCB for £13-20k and then buy a decent tillage machine.
A lot less faff in the long term.
And I’m absolutely NO expert

Yup.4 pot?
Loader will be mainly just handling straw and silage, it will be leading a lot of straw. Current tractor is a claas axos but the farm expanded recently and is needing the extra HP and will be doing drilling, ploughing and fert spinningView attachment 1120362

The loader tractor on the hill livestock farm here also does tillage, grassland, haulage, harvest, charity work, etc etc etc.
No need for a separate forklift!
I wanted one designed and heavily enough engineered for a "proper" loader boom, with a vario gearbox, electric spools, slip control, a comfortable spacious cab......so bought a good second hand tractor and fitted a loader
@NorthumbrianFarmer what tasks do you perform with your loader tractor? What tractor do you currently have?
