We bought a second hand Big X about 10 years ago. Did a brilliant job but took a lot of fettling over winter. Turns out more economical to hire off Ian Wilson, which we discovered after the engine blew up at 2600 hours and neither Merc nor Krone would stand by it.

Oh come on. Surely the manufacturer want to look after people? FFS. IF they had stood up like big boys and looked after a customer by coming to some kind of arrangement then sjt01 would be singing their praises and a customer for life. Short sighted morons.

I might be wrong but it would look like 30k would get a very nice big m for a farmer, bargin or bag of shyt ?

Aaah what I wouldn't give to get to spend a few days mowing with that beast.
Sadly they only built a few dozen and I don't think any of them ended up in Sweden..

like top gears cool wall, if it looks cool there's probably a cock driving it, if its on the uncool side it will be for bang for your buck

There was a classic tractor magazine(I think could also be a different mag

) not that long ago with a article on a contractor who buys old big Ms would be worth finding was a good right up about them

he was going threw the electrics and reconditioning the hydraulic motors himself

If you owned one up until an hour before it exploded you would think it’s an awesome and cheap run thing. An hour after it explodes not so much. The skill comes in guessing when that hour occurs…………..
