No loader needed tatty is fine but mechanically sound required. Must run and drive and have V5

got this 'young lady' coming available soon £4800 incl vat....bit far though?
Price is spot on and would be interested but trying to stick with MF to go with current machines, having different brands leads to operator confusion :scratchhead::scratchhead::scratchhead: have a 590 and a zetor 7745 and just got a 690 to replace the zetor (will be going for sale at some point) and the 590 which is the preferred machine currently won’t last much longer (harsh conditions )

2x 600 serries on ebay 590 and 575 are fairly rare in 4wd

the ones in Chippenham are over our budget at £8k+ vat

We have a 590 4wd and there was a 575 4wd went through Cambridge earlier this month another 690 could be ideal I have seen another 590 not too far away I think the early 4wd were only built in France not Coventry

Not worth putting money into what you have 5k buy a fair bit of work?
Cab is rotten would need a cab swap and don’t have the facilities to do that onsite

it’s a unique situation:sneaky: and there isn’t a good solution maintenance bills are ridiculous the other option is sink £15k into a new Chinese tractor a solis/landlegend/siromer etc but they are much lighter and smaller machines we had a 5610 that was a good machine but succumbed

There is/was a mf 590 4wd for sale on Facebook
recently.Think it was circa 7k from memory .
Looked ok in the pics .
Seen that one £7K+ Vat which is blowing our budget but may come to that.

seen a tidy 290 with loader (we dont need loader) but its other end of the country and £8k but no Vat so cheaper than the 590 and younger (would probably come out as similar with transport etc)

He's had that 590 for sale for a while might be worth an offer .
Looks tidier than most but obviously need to see it.
