lloyd said:

Well you joined in 2016 and twenty two of your 36 posts have
been about this subject.
I was just wondering if you secretly want to buy it
Nothing wrong with a known 7530 though.

I think the clues in the name, it’s a forum so you’re gonna get comments that you both like and dislike and that’s just the territory, along with the free advertising that youre using.

You‘re trying to sell a yoke for £100k but you’re not marketing the right people because you don’t want to spend a few pounds on an advert. Like you say, at the end of the day it’s your decision, just like it was your decision to strap a load of finance on a £130k tractor with fancy loader and all the tricks to treat yourself for a business anniversary and just like it was your decision to come on here and tell everyone about it.

Them comments and opinions are gonna keep coming, it’s a forum and that’s what it’s all about and they won’t all be giving you a pat on the back so there’s no need to be throwing the teddy out just because you’re not hearing what you want.

Yes im fully aware its a forum, but what i am saying and if you look at the other hundred of listings there is nothing like this one. I did do a post a while back in the machinery section, so yes i expected opinions on there, but didnt expect on the for sale one. The adverts been turned into a debate and just spoils it. If could delete i would.

Iv advertised it on a paying one last month, farm trader but will put on fwi and fg when the climate picks up, as be dead money at present time.

Im fully aware this is a forum, with both sides of debate, just dont like the personal digs from some. The main thing that annoys me is how this post has turned into a debate, i can understand on general forums, not the for sale. Its mucking my chance of selling.

Sorry but I think it’s the price that’s mucking the chance of selling. As you have said you have a very expensive niche tractor. Sure someone will buy it because yes it’s a good machine. But when you can get similar for a lot less money it makes it a hard sell.

@NewlandFarmServices can you not ask for the thread to be locked?

It’s been done to death your in an unfortunate position,advertise it at the least you can possibly take and see what happens,an opportunist like myself might just rock up and give you the money and that’s that (unfortunately it’s not a 720 or bigger so I’m out).

But how can it be the price? As surely if im out on the price, then all that im basing it on are the same? If you look on here, think chandlers have a power plus 2018, 716 with 800hrs on, less warranty, no front pto and no loader @ £102,500. So a power plus is lot less spec than a profi plus with the smaller screen, less in cab stuff etc. So when mine is top range with just a few more hours on with at least £15k extra stuff on, then to me my offer of £100k is cheap!

If google Fendt 716 profi plus, all around my mark, with lot less to offer. So this why i think its worth 100k and especially with only doing 1190 hrs to date, cant have lost £37k in 22 months?

But as said, if dont sell, will keep. Will just keep adverting until the day arrives, if ever.

Again my for sale thread gets turned into a debate/dig. Only fendt people might understand as people with other makes at half price new don't understand the value of fendts. Yes dealers have a less spec 716 without a loader and rtk and front pto and less warranty for around £100k and might nock of few grand but when u add the £10k the loader cost, £3k front pto, rtk £6k or summat it seems like my deal is better than the dealers. All I lack is offering 0%finance.

Iv done my costings and I will keep it until I get a sensible offer. As yes time will go on and hours will go up so in time it will get reduced but at present it's worth £100k. Spoke to a few dealers today and they said struggling so everyone in same boat. I can understand if someone buys a cheaper tractor but it won't be a fendt like mine. Best offer from dealer is £95k so they obviously going add more on. Best offer private was £98k but I was willing sell for £99k if kept my headstock but by time researched see if would fit another loader they bought a new mf as the dealer gave it away to get a sale. I'm not going do that. It either sells or stays.

I sympathise with your position but I think your extremely lucky to have had those 2 offers. You might regret not accepting £98k. I'm surprised a dealer offered £95k

There you go, you’re comparing your sale with a dealers sale. You’re not a dealer that can take a px or sell something else with the tractor to make a deal, nor can you offer any attractive finance package
The dealers advertised price will be way off what he sells it for so you can only compare a value on that yoke if you knew what the dealer actually sold it for.
The reason that lesser spec tractors are selling is because not many folk would want to be paying £100k+ for a 160hp tractor with a weighing loader that does a dance and guidance and all the other fancy gadgets you bolted onto it as a present to yourself
The interest in this advert has all stemmed from the massive debate that you had when you were lookin to swap it fo an Armatrac, it shouldn’t really be a surprise to you after you’ve already told everybody the ins and outs of your life and business. There’s been lots of sound advice to you on this thread and your other one but I’m afraid it’s fell on deaf ears but like you keep saying “it’s your decision” ......... you just haven’t decided yet ?
On another note, let me know if you want to sell the loader on it’s own and I’ll bid you on it ?
