7618. 8760 hours, had a new joystick for the spools and a add blue wiring fault. Could go boom tomorrow who knows. Cost 58k as an ex demo. Worth about 20 ish now. About £6 an hour with servicing and that breakdowns. Total lottery as with all brands and colours.

Tidy tractor tyres 60%. Feels as tight driving as it did brand new but you have to be realistic. If I'm buying it "tidy tractor owner driver. Never raced or rallied worth high 20s" if I'm selling. "Oooooh no one wants high hours. Why did u keep it so long? I'll struggle to shift it. Low 20s max". That's just business

I totally agree. It'll stay as long as its reliable. If I lose confidence in it it will go. At what it has cost me so far I will easily forgive it a breakdown or 2 because nothing lasts forever.

I should add I was saying speed star sell them back to his local Massey ferguson dealer,

Oh i know but theyd still clean ye. Only time a dealer is interested in seein ye comin is when your givin them money not the other way round. If ye were sellin be betr either tradin them against next new tractor or advertise on donedeal,agriaffaires or farm machinery locator

Could not come to an agreement with the dealer if you were so dissatisfied with the tractors?

Am with speedstar on this as massey isnt producin the quality stuf they used to, i know they had the odd "dodgy" series like the 61/81 but least they stil had dynashift and the customers liked them at the time and bought them but i think theyv lost ther way with dyna4/6 and its showin in ther sales in my area which was predominatly red and blue but is is headin green since 30 series came out
