Anything in stock/ on its way with a sensible dealer that wants your business is hard to stomach but new orders are beyond the realms of my understanding.

Unless she is doing serious miles , my opinion would be don't do it.
Have been there with a fairly sprightly overweight 7.5 ton . It was nothing but a money pit , it hadn't done many miles 90k but i think little use is just as bad as high mileage. Constantly in the garage and breaking down...

North of the border we have an annual training course run by one of the largest machinery rings.
A half day course usually within 25 miles , 50 quid and bobs your uncle.

Bought a logic 6m tractor mounted 3 years ago. Haven't had any issues that haven't been operator error.
Started using Chem's other than glyphosate to start with as was afraid of the drip, wouldn't use anything other than glyphosate now . Far cheaper and effective .
Have done 500 + acres of our...
