They are closed centre presure flow compensated. So not quite. Only about 83LPM as well.

I think the hoos is right. Maybe some of the finishing parts in the engine, but looks to be mostly just a tuning difference

Something in that price range will be a fair age or have a million hours, so it's going to have some issues. If you're on a time critical job like silage and it's the only thing you have that can pull the wagon, can you handle downtime, especially if contracting?
Always a chance of a major failure such as an engine or transmission as well.
They all break down

You do have a valid point if contracting with older gear and you have a breakdown it looks bad as the kit is deemed to be old but in reality we have more downtime with newer stuff than older gear if I,m honest and the older gear is generally easier sorted but it’s an image thing the new gear customers will happily pay more for new gear to come in the gate forgetting that the driver is 100 times more important than shiny paint

I know it's easy spending someone else's money but personally I think a Magnum in this application is the wrong one.

Even twenty years ago they were outdated, that's not necessarily a bad thing as their torque and grip was awesome - for tillage.

Your big wagon will be wasted without 50k, modern transmission, modern hydraulics and suspension.

Id definitely have a 7040/50/60 over a Magnum in this instance, and I say this as a non NH owner and someone who drooled over the big 8.3 Cummins powered case 30 years ago.

But shiny paint is all that matters now
Make do and mend farmers are seen as the great unwashed now.
Shiny paint and neck deep in payments is the only way now

a nh 7040 50 60 would be well within my budget

Not been mentioned yet. But what about a 8250 or 8310 fastrac?

Comfortable, fast, agco vario gearbox. Good hydraulics. Be nice on a wagon I would imagine. And within budget.

7050 is a great tractor. 200hp cnh engine. Great on juice. 16 or 18 gear powershift. Such an easy tractor to use. And comfortable on the road and field. Sit at 50k with 16t wheat happily all day. Not sure if it boosts. Believe it does. 220-240 ish. Maybe wrong.

as long as you didnt have to throw 10 grand into the vario

No vario in the old 800's. But you could still sink 10k in one without a doubt.
