The dealer's know these tractors are sought after and you will pay higher than you want, if it's private sale just buy it and keep it, it's a sound investment and a future classic. That's low hrs for the age and I have seen one similar make 40 at a farm sale.

Was at Harry Wilson’s auction back in February 2011 , fleet of 2007 818s there, from memory they all made around mid 40 k with something like 4000 hours on them, would have been a quare buy back then

The power model can be less spec than the r series, when it comes to price it's a bit of a lottery and depends on dealer's.
But the r series has a powerquad box and no front linkage. Does a fendt not come standard with front linkage? It also has vario. Imho the fendt is higher spec do u disagree? Reasons? Not bein bitchy about it just would like to know ur pov

Really don't know the price and specs of the r series so can't comment, not priced a fendt up lately so might be way out but when you sit around the table to thrash a deal out,, it's surprising what you can get.

Agreed. But ye wont get much of a green tractor for less than 100k. If ye seen 100k counted out on the table in £20 notes i dont think id be givin it for a tractor

If you had 100K in cash/notes you would find it heck of a job to spend it on anything or even deposit it in a bank without black helicopters and armed forces depending on you like a demolition squad. The 'proceeds of crime' and tax authorities love that kind of thing and ripping your house apart.
