So what are they like then? How old/many hours/what breakdowns if any/loader fitted/SL or SLE?I have a 7740 and an 8340 - to me they are still newish mainline tractors, not classics.
Feeling depressed now....

Used to have one, but no pictures of it unfortunatelyNo 5640s
I'd quite like to find a tidy late one, especially if it's an SLE. Unlikely, though.Used to have one, but no pictures of it unfortunately
Had my leg lifted then! Changed something oily and averagely expensive, don't know what it wasBut there's no balancer in a 8340....
Could you get a 5640 SLE?I'd quite like to find a tidy late one, especially if it's an SLE. Unlikely, though.
The Renault, although it was an excellent tractor, was just too old.
They were mega rare. Not many people require a tiny tractor with powershift!Could you get a 5640 SLE?
Man along the road from us had an S reg 5640 turbo
Was a cancelled export order iirc and had sat at basildon for a while
It went extremely well
Snap! But no need to be depressed - best working classics ever!I have a 7740 and an 8340 - to me they are still newish mainline tractors, not classics.

I thought 7740 was basically a turbo'd 66405640 Turbo would effectively be a 7740 really, thats all they are, a 56 engine boosted up, not a 6640 as many think.
Never had a 77 but have heard of ones knocking out 140hp after a serious 10mm remap back in the day.
I want one!View attachment 389710

Yup, low hours for its age an definitely worth a look at that price!If it exists it's cheap?
