Would have thought you'd get an early 2000's 7341 zetor or similar in or just above budget which wouldn't be a bad shout
Tbf my father thought the newer zetors are gone plasticy etc he don't like modern yokes
Them 7341s are a nice tractor but hard tó find one reasonably priced atm. Brakes are g in them plus the gearstick is on the rhd instead of the middle.

Old mf would be my choice, if you could stretch to 00 or 10 series jd that would be best then and thats from a none jd fan

Especially if he buys a 6180!! Crikey aren’t they famously where MF started to lose their way? If budget is fixed a high hours 00/10 series jd; sg2 are getting ‘old’ nowthere old crap, THINKING MORE 3000 seiers or 6170 6180,

Around here everyone says "you can't beat a 290 or 390"there old crap, THINKING MORE 3000 seiers or 6170 6180,

. Local massey expert says other wiseWould go up to 20 thousand if The tractor hadn't powershift or powershuttle and wasn't too old. Like I wouldn't be paying 25 grand for a 390
. Not looking for anything full of electrics or too fancy. Basic tractor max 95hp
You can get Explorers with and without powershift.
Not sure about the Laser, they're a different series of engine to the newer and more current 1000.4/1000.6, you've got to think about the long term availability of parts. I'm sure a Laser would be fine if it was in good nick, but if you needed to get parts in a hurry could you trust your local SDF dealership to have the bits you need?

I’ve driven a few and they were pretty good think there was a lot of shite off the production line? Owt left must have made it though the crap
You must be in with a shout of an early Zetor Proxima 8441 - a neighbour has done a lot of hours with one and it`s been good machine. He also had a 7341 and it was a good bus too .
No point getting a model that's a bit "weird" then. Plenty of Explorers around, you won't go wrong.Wouldn't even know where the nearest dealer is
Looked at 7441s and didn't rlly like them n found them hard to start

7341 where I work has been absolutely hammered, as the main loader tractor for years, door missing, wings broken, roof leaks, front brakes don't work, leaks oil from both ends, had fuel filter bypassed at one point and hasn't held water for at least a couple years and yet, out of all the tractors I have driven over the years, on a freezing cold day, this is the one I would expect to start out of any of them
