When he bought it 3 years ago it probably cost around 100k though. So nearer £5/HR depreciation.
IIRC they were same money as a 724 at launch when I enquired which was 115-120 spec dependant at the time

Amazing how little they have increased in price over 3 years.
I was quoted 115k this time last year for full spec 4220.

Depreciation much bigger problem than initial cost.

But the bloke that did 3250hrs on it probably paid about £90k for it new....................
my life mantra ! really don't care what the new price is, all I care about is what its going to cost me to own
Its depreciation that puts me of new fastrac, they have never been great from new but once the initial hit has been taken by 1st owner they get a lot more reasonable it seems. I think something with 2-3000hrs circa maybe 70-80k by next spring wouldn't cost a fortune for the next 5 years ??
if he can get that I've made a profit on 2 of them in the last 3 years !

Tis always a bit of a gamble but id say the 70-80k will depreciate a lot less and still be a mighty fine machine, i dont think the new ones will depreciate more or less than any other tractor tho. Depriciation heading towards a tenner an hour OR MORE is hardly worth bothering with might as well get a contractor in.

I've got just under 1000hrs on my 2018 4220.
I work in a 50k radius of my base .
No problems at all and very happy with it,perfect for my mowing business.
I would buy another for the comfort on the road.

I have one. The problem is nobody wants to drive anything else now, and that includes me.

The Market is too small for main stream tractor makers, its less the 2% in the country that makes them.
