Worth more to keep. Gearbox has only done 3300hrs. SISU motor good for the same hours again. Had it from new.30k for 7620 with the hours is a good price , sorry to say but they are very hard to move with high hours on them now

I think you need to get some one eles to buy your tractors for you if that was the price of a 720 a year ago, I smell a rat some were with that price , who is your fendt dealer ?I was quoted £160k for a new 720 a year ago. They won't of come down.
A big motivator is putting a shed upSounds like a sensible buy, you might not look as flash but you will have more money in your wallet instead of dealers

Them old 7495 T2 tractors have not gone down in price for few years now they bottom out at a price and stay there for a good while or some may have gone up in price a little , be not auto steering on that age of tractor unless you fit an after market kit to itYou're entitled to your opinion.
No rats here.
No point looking harder at Fendt, 700's are too short for this particular slot, amd I wouldn't have an 828 for all the tea in China. The 720 I looked at was potentially to replace a different tractor doing a different job.

Another wise investment I would much rather sheds then shinny paint but we are all different I guessA big motivator is putting a shed up
Some timesHave you been drinking?
Well done that looked a really nice tractor.Update:
I priced up changing the 7620 (now on 9000hrs) for a new 8s225VT (205 would do but we need the bigger frame of the 225)
Cost to change £137k!!!!!
Kept the 7620. Bought a 20yo 7495 with 4300hrs from a farm sale. It's been on a well equipped 400acre ring fenced farm from new and never seen a road. Serviced on the dot, 90% tyres, well specced. Cost? Under £30k (just!)
Practically, it's mostly replaced the older 6480 because my apprentice is about in love with the thing. It'll also increase capacity for pressing, cart work and bedtilling. The 6480 is staying for spring initially, and may stay longer to cover 3075 work while it has a refurb. It's also backup for the newer 6480.
Time will tell if we've made the right decision
Why is it in pieces?Ok .. forget all my posts on this thread.
Since posting the OP, the Deutz has gone, a 6150 with 14,000hrs has gone to Poland in exchange for a brand new 6R 185 (plus the value of a terrace house), the Fastrac was exchanged for two newish silage trailers .... and the 10,000hr 6155 has replaced the 8,000hr 6250 in pieces in the workshop.
Still far too many sensors and other rubbish on modern tractors though
I watched it to value my 7485,looked a straight tractor, good luck with it.Update:
