evening all looking at new tractors and currently considering JD 6250 autopower has anyone had a price for one yet ? I was told I would have to insure demo for £160000. !!
Why have you got to insure it, surely the dealer has it covered.
It would depend on how long you got it for i suppose, 2 or 3 days yes insure it, just the afternoon, i would make dealer(driver) stay with the tractor, strong money all the same.All demonstrations around our area need insured after an incident a few years back better safe than sorry

Yes, i heard they were like that over your way, I had a mf and fendt on demo last year, i didn,t insure them, maybe my dealer knew i would look after and respect it, had the fendt all weekend as well, mind you, i have seen tractors brought back in to dealers yards in a right state.So that you can trash it, turn it upside down or leave in a ditch and not affect your no claims etc but increase the dealers insurance tenfold!!! It’s quite normal this end of the world that customer has to insure Demo and hire machines.
No a manitou and a newhollandWas that a fergie?
Same here we insure all demo's

A friend who works for a big contractor has just bought a new 6215R at £127k on farm full spec. They had a 6250R price as well which was + £15k but decided the extra £15k was not worth it as there older 6215R's have been pretty much faultless so they are sticking with what they know rather than a newer model with extra hp they don't really need. These boys are doing 2000 hours per year easily so are working stuff very hard. They won't however have another 7R due to horrendous issues with gearbox and brakes.
How old was the troublesome 7r (first generation or later)? And what gearbox?
I would like my next tractor to be a used 7r, and have been told to avoid the first generation, but that the later ones should be ok.
