Not quite in the almost new volvo class but I am really pleased with this. Hooby lc 80, Dutch made specifically for ditching. I was looking for a 4 to 5 tonne minidigger but this was quite cheap comparitively.
And I do like odd stuff.
How you getting on with the ceramic spray? Has it turned the tractor blue yet?
She's been on a rear discharge for the last 5 days muck spreading so unfortunately she is looking a little untidy at the moment
Out of curiosity, what product would you recommend to wash the tractor with that isn't going to dull that paint or anything like that?! Thought I'd ask you seeing as your the expert on keeping tractors clean!

Its a tricky one as in my experience any product that doesn’t strip off products you’ve put on, also doesn’t clean very well.
If mine is very dirty now, jobs like you say muck spreading or slurry in the winter etc, I’ve found no substitute for good old TFR. However I follow it up with a wax soap on the final rinse, and then if I’ve got time or it’s not raining I apply the ceramic spray again.
Ive found the ceramic spray pretty durable even with TFR though. Still beads like crazy which is very satisfying.
I get all my soaps from Blast clean in Carlisle. Will take a picture of the drums if you like.

Least you’ve got one good thing on it. The gps.
The decals behind the front grill looks good now .We have just picked this up
I'll be interested how you get on with it I've got a 1300hrs on mine now and so far no major issues
Oh look it’s not the end of the world as in it could have been a Fendt! Plaster it in JD green paint and just get over it Joking aside congrats on your purchase. What did it replace and without going into to much specifics how would that compare to the JD equivalent price wise?

We haven’t replaced anything this is an extra . It’s difficult the compare prices with anything else because no one else’s makes an equivalent.Oh look it’s not the end of the world as in it could have been a Fendt!

Seem to remember you saying it was parked up and they took there JD tractors instead.
What prompted the turnaround?

Is there a big difference apart from 8000 series being physically bigger and doesn't have 4ws?
I ve just briefly driven a 8330 on a tanker but didn't find it much different. Was a animal to pull.
