Was an Irish tractor dealer Mcmurray.

Tractor sells for £214k to businessman who grew up on farm

The purchase of the 40-year-old tractor, made by a Manchester collector, is a UK record, auctioneers say.

That’s not an oil leak. It’s sweat from all that horsepower!

At least you know there is oil in them I guess

Them old leather seals are pretty poor especially when left to dry out only marginally better when they're damp.

I just don't get it; but if that's the man's choice, good on him.
If he owns some land, presumably he can utilise AIA and rub out some Income tax?

Passed it onto my brother who px’d it for £1,500 against a new Astra GTE in ‘83. Plonker…. Both of us!

Buyers decide the value. Somebody was prepared to pay a big chunk for it. It makes no odds to us how much somebody else is willing to pay - it's his dosh, it's his choice.

It doesn't tickle my tractor-touching lusty bits, though. Give me a vajazzled Marshall 100 or MF 2725 any day!

I'm with you on the 2725 !!!!!.. lets hope we don't end up at the same auction !!!!

yea, seems a bit nuts hurling it around forests at the current value

Rather than keep dropping hints, why don't you post what you know?

All I know is I can't believe there were two people in this world wanting to spend 200k on a classic tractor

People will spend £200k on some rubbish art work which most
will look at and say 'WTF' so could be a good buy to certain minded people.
After all if you commissioned someone to build that tractor from scratch
at the present time I doubt you'd get much change from what they've paid.

This is my old County , was like new when I sold her, hope she gets a full referb
