Best 200+hp tractor for around £20k - £25k

[Toby Larone]

Any recommendations for a tractor to pull a forage wagon, something solid and reliable, (and fairly nimble).
Preferably 40k gearbox, and ideally with front linkage and pto .
A few MF 8200's around, but most have the funk powershift , one with a Dyna 4 gearbox would be a safer bet. Any other suggestions?

One of the late tm's or mxm 190???

Massey 6490 or 95. Currently got an 04 plate 6495 with 7500 hours and not had a spanner on it, has been very reliable, very good on fuel for its size and has got plenty of power! Looking round them can pick up reasonable low houred example within your budget.

JD 7810 very reliable.

Parris tractors have got the best 4755 you ever could find at the moment. Very late model with side exhaust granny steps and low hours. Zero depreciation too I'd have thought

Is that MXM190 still on ebay for £25k? South Scotland somewhere, looked ok, not that old and low hours, would be nice and nimble, you would need a good test drive though

depends on the size of your forage wagon a local contractor had a big fendt on his wagon and pushed it too hard he got a 150 horse and sailed along not any slower less trouble
depends on terrain also we flat around here
