If they took all these useless pointless gadgets and electronics off the tractors they may of been able to keep the price to a more realistic one…..and how come they are meant to be getting more technically advanced….and yet they break down more now than they did 15/20 years ago

Have a look at the new McCormacks at st boswlls they are decent price and cracking tractors , you would probably get a demo , they fot one or two out down your neck of the woods .
They do that’s why you can buy these cases so cheap with decent warranty on them. There 90’s technology.

This is half the problem, spoke to local machinery man recently, can’t get machinery and tractors fast enough, full order books, all grassland machinery on order sold before start of season, can’t buy secondhand tractors from farm sales as farmers falling over themselves to give a good price.
Try convincing him there are financial problems in farming

You need a lifetime warranty on a case….I’d rather use a herd of goats
That’s why you have to spend 2.5 times the money on a jd or fendt then

Apparently there was that big of a stink kicked up by the die hard Case men a few years ago about all the bull crap they had added too the tractors. That’s why they developed and brought out the Farmall range out. Real basic is the A class like ours, up too the few extras you get on the C class. Gone back too stockmans tractors.
A few years ago we couldn’t get a simple tractor anywhere. They all went a bit silly

Nothing wrong with a Massey Ferguson 135!!
Probably the only tractor that goes up in value every year you use it!!

How much is a 130 horse power case now?
I don’t know I’m not a salesman. You only have to look at velcort who are 100% profit driven to see what they are running to make you realise they must be efficient tractors to own.
been 7 or 8 hundred new ?
"have to" united front ?
Have one here that’s just clocked up 2300 hours from new !

father bought a new 135 multi power with loader for about £1500 in early 70s no cab (still got it , sort of restored in shed ) , prob worth double now
If that Ford 4600 I posted a picture of with the dogs yesterday was available new I'd buy one again but with 4wd. I have a loader for it but it's not great in 2wd so don't use it really. But dad did for a long time. Wouldn't need to be any bigger either it will lift a round bale and load a muckspreader what else does a stock farm loader tractor need to do
And I can fix it myself and no pointless sensors and switches to go wrong all the time.

I think quite a lot of people are using the BPS to put up sheds and invest in machinery so when BPS ends they can shut the gate in the knowledge they shouldn't need any major capital expenditure for the next 10 years
