Changing my Puma. For 140 hp with Loader recommendations!

TAG your nearest dealer.

Always had case machines during my time in charge. Local support isn't what it once was. Time for a change..

You'll have an idea of good and bad dealers in your area? I'd try and get a go in some of the main brands either through Demo's or friends machines, then figure out what you like and what you need.
Compare apples with apples though, don't drive a lightweight model of one brand and compare it to the biggest range of another.
I'd try Deere, Valtra and New Holland/Case IH, but that's just me.
Do you want 4 or 6 cylinders?

As title says. Its time to change out to fresher machine and would like to get a tractor with a loader.

My puma is my front line tractor doing anything from trailer work through to primary and seconday cultivation and grass seeding. So don't want a big lump of a machine but would like to try one with a loader to reduce travellling for my manitou..

So what are my options. I genuinely have no clue. Cannot afford new but something about 2 years old would suffice.

I would really appreciate your suggestions/ advice on both loader and tractor options..
TIA

2 years old?
Good luck, 2nd hand tractors are few and far between atm. What stock there is , is moving quickly.

I could run down other brands on this thread like others have.
Happy with our Valtra 154 well balanced yard, loader and field machine.
Few issues dealt with under warranty but so far nothing that has stopped it being used.

last thing, will just say never seen any brand without a workshop.

Sounds to me like you want a Puma 150 (at least) with a loader?

Case IH Puma 165 50 Kph Semi Powershift Front linkage and MX 412 Loader SFL TO BE FITTED !! (startintractors.co.uk) Absolute base spec inside but looks to soon have a loader fitted!

Big fans of high hp 4 pots here but I don't even think I would want to leave 6cyl after having one for so long, especially on a wagon. Big 4 pot wont have the presence of even a swb 6 pot.

There you go, two N154 tractors with loaders.

Sounds like that one with 500 hours wants buying.

That T160 would sell for crazy money here, if the hours are correct.

That beast of a T203D looks a lump of a thing, be ideal for someone's buckrake tractor?

Sadly the older T-series Directs aren't that "hot" here. Would love a go in one to see how much they've improved. Probably more in between T3 and T4 than between 8X50 and T3 series.

 

[it's not over]

All tractors do the same job.no bad ones nowadays, only buy what you can sell........... quickly

What's the use of a tractor magazine without any f*cken prices? Or is that normal?

Completely normal,I normally turn the page and never make the phone call if it’s POA

Probably 75% of Advertisements now in this country either don’t show price or POA then they wonder why they don’t sell much

They specialise in repairing Valtra/valmets and deal in second hand ones so what do you expect

 

[Cowabunga]

Man enough for my forage wagon? Riverlea are great but always seem to be bows under with work!

You've got Lawrence for NH, A&M for Case, Evans for MF, all in Pembrokshire in addition to Riverlea. Rees and Kubota in the North. Valtra is well N into Carmarthenshire with Davies/JDS. Lets not forget, for goodness' sake, Tallis Amos at Narberth. Have I missed one?

They all have suitable tractors but some keep more stock for a quick sale and deployment than others.
