Cheap hp or not.

If you want an arable tug, then it will be great. Look at a £20k gearbox overhaul at 7000 hrs and tracks every 3 to 5000. Has the gearbox been done???

Probably a reason it’s cheap by the time you’ve replaced a track or two and had the gearbox overhauled it’s no longer cheap. Neighbour runs two quadtracks He loves them as unlike two track tractors you can turn under load away from a wet patch. My challengers will steer you into the wet as they loose traction on the wetter ground. He’s had plenty of issues thou. Mainly with the undercarriage. Once the lugs start tearing off the tracks they are done.

I suppose i was comparing to what they cost new, thought they would be cheaper to run than a wheeled tractor!! but a tractor has more advantages in the general farm usages.

I’ve had wheeled high horsepower tractors and they were cheap to run as far as maintenance goes. Tracks are great in the field for floatation and traction a well as a smooth ride but I’ve spent more on tracks and maintain the undercarriage than I spent in the entire life of my 400 hp article versatile. She only left the farm as it was killing my back. Fir an out and out pulling beast the quad track is hard to beat but that comes at a price on a regular basis.

This thread made me have another look at their website, a few things I’d like so I’ll have to keep away from them for a while
Bought a trailer from them in the spring. Good guys to deal with

Always good to hear something like that. Could they know any previous history of the tractor ?
I know of one that was sent two hours down the road to a sale as the owners new no one local would want it.

just checked out the website, does the naked lady on the valtra come as part of the price, or do you need to pay extra for her?
