Air con regass

[Frantic Farmer]

Just wondered what firms charge for a complete regass of air con on medium tractor

Last one I had done was well over £200 and that was 10 years ago.

I had a pipe rub through dumping all the gas, think the bill was around £300 for a regass, call out and new rubber pipe. Expensive I thought.

Two years ago I had a 5150 recovered, pressure tested, a leak fixed (dodgy seal replaced) and regassed again for £120 all in, done in my yard.

One year later - MF6490, as above £125 all in. Oil and dye £5 on top.

Mine was done in the yard but it was literally down the street from the dealer 250 yards maybe !.

I had a commercial air con man regas my car, vac and regas tractor for 120. More of a side job as he’s normally on units on buildings.

For a vac, oil, gas and proper check over, £120-150 would be a very fair price and should take around 1 - 1.5hrs on site.
Any remedial or servicing work eg cleaning condensor, tightening fan belts, blocked cab filters and travel would be on top.

134a has gone up in price the last couple of years. Paid £100 last year at my local garage for a vac and recharge of 1kg.

Paid £60 +vat at local tyre place today just had to get the pressure and weight of gas spec from dealer, nice and cool again

Had mine done at local car mechanic, he was most concerned at charging me for 1700g of gas when cars are like 300g!!
£80 I was plenty happy enough any way!

Sounds like taking a tractor to a mechanic saves you £££ for this job!

What tractor was that out of interest ?????

 

[dannewhouse]

Mf 6265 think 3120 is same amount aswell

 

[Hard Graft]

Well that makes me feel a lot happier as brought a machine last year so got it out for the first time

Just pulling this up again. Had a set of aircon services and top-ups done on tractors and combine recently.

Approx £160-180 for a tractor, £350 for combine, callout, pressure test and gas included.

More than I was expecting but two thirds of the cost was the gas at £65/kg.

Hopefully they won't need doing again for a good while.

£65 / kg for R134a is an absolute rob.

Done with machine I assume, expensive way in most cases if only a small top up is required as they have to go through the whole vac and refill process and then charge for full re gas amount. Old school man with gauges might only have needed to put in 100g of gas.
Unless of course there was repair work to do.
