If it's a Fendt like your username suggests I would take extended warranty.
It will most likely require a new engine.

If it's something out of the Agco stable I would take the extended warranty, you need a damn good tractor not to get your money back on it as parts can be silly money.
Is that just for warranty? And what size?

Do you need to have the dealer doing all the servicing? I thought there was a ruling a few years back that as long as you use materials up to spec that's acceptable?
I would guess they would want to but I might be able to some.
That would be just for Warranty they would be service cost on top aswell. 180hp
Ah ok, I guess the best way an old colleague used to put it was, if you shoved that in a drawer in cash, over those hours do you think (I’m guessing from experience of the brand) would you have any left...? Or in fact be going to the cash point? I’d say it’s somewhere near...5-7000 hours tends to show up the faults on whatever colour they are.....

I remember a well known main tractor dealer in a well known Shropshire livestock market telling someone that extended warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on wether it's a washing machine or tv or car or tractor
Yeah I know what you mean. Time they back track and say no we don’t cover this and that and don’t pay for oil and so on and so on. Might not be worth it. Never done it before and definitely not with a fendt people are so split on it. Some say waste of time other wouldn’t go without for peice of mind but still got to pay for it

It doesn't take long to rack up a pretty big dealer bill these days.....£15k wouldn't go very far in dealer bills over 7000hrs of a tractors life.
I could see merit in taking the warranty out and then if possible selling the tractor at 6000hrs with some element of warranty (assuming its transferrable) remaining for the 2nd hand owner so they can buy with confidence that it's still good.

I think some tractor brand don’t let the warranty to be transferred which I think is crazy as the warranty is for the tractor not the owner.
That’s not great at all. I really wouldn’t do a extra warranty on those hours.
