Three Fendt 718s same age and hours doing the lighter work ( spraying etc ). At 5000 hrs the valtras had only ever had filters and oil and the Fendts had averaged £18500 in repairs. They used to bring stockfeed spuds up to us in the hills and you could hear the valtra growling for about two miles. Would l

I bought a 6.11 from 92 three years ago with 5700 hours on. If was not very expensive as no one want to buy tractors that old for a lot of work. I use it on a tmr. About 7-800 hours/year. It has only been disconnected from the mixer twice. Once to run a bale trailer to clear some bales before rain and once to get the last load of grain to the mill before they closed so we could finish a field one evening. It starts after 3/4 round every morning no matter what, and has not missed a beat since it got here.

It’s very rare to find tractors like that in Denmark.

Someone is looking for 10 year old mainstream tractors for export every week. I don’t get it. The last few i have bought has been from dealers where i have told them to call me when the right export-candidate is traded in.



Agree unfortunately. It would be much easier if the new ones would put the old ones running costs, fuel use and reliability to shame. But my 27 year old tractor is the most reliable and cheapest to run year after year.

Three times - not to forget the time it was taken off the mixer to roll/drive on the grass silage clamp ;)
