You won’t get a nice 110 9o for 7-8k you will need double that , 120 90 ? They don’t exist as far is I’m aware ? 90-90 is 5 cylinder 110-90 is six pot , tb turbo is essential as is a super comfort cab with air con imo but you will only get scrap for that budget .

i was meaning 7-8k hours

My advise is don't buy one. Over priced, over rated and a pain to drive. NH7840 sle would be a far better tractor for less money. That's here in Ireland though!

Having had a 100-90 from new and still earning its keep here at the moment, with 7200hrs on her, I would agree with all the above comments, especially the distinctive noise, and smell from fuse box with cab lights on (LOL!)

I'll add in the slow heavy steering and poor lift performance. As a general purpose yard / trailer tractor that the student cant break, they do the job!

Our 110 was rolled at barely 6 month old, did another 12 yrs with bent cab and Perspex windows, should’ve hated it, but there was something about it, had real character to it. Always started on the cold mornings when mfs and fastrac wouldn’t fire and it pulled like a train, embarrassed jds and fendts hauling carrots out of wet fields too. But likewise, I don’t think my back and ears look back quite so fondly 🤣.
did you buy it from the guy Todd in forfar. we almost bought a 90hp one but went the 7600 route instead.

The 110-90 came from Agricar, it was a 1993/M reg, so an NH by that time, still Fiat liveried but with the NH badges on it. the other 2 came from AM Phillips in 90/91 when they had the fiat agency.
 
How insane do you need to be to pay that

First proper driving job was a 100-90, and I would have sat in the thing day and night if I'd had too!!, having been in 100 series masseys and a bitta time in 600 series I loved that fiat!, gear stick to the side!, 5 gears!, didnt they have hydrostatic steering too?, sunroof open for the noise!, door sitting open on the wee latch!, and i think it just suited me at only 5ft6!
12ft woods silage trailer or 1350gal tanker was the main hauls and round baling straw with a class baler that just had a pressure gauage to judge the bale density. Had it polished to within an inch of its life most of the time.
Must hav had a left leg of steel cos every junction needed all 5 gears to pull away if loaded, and every bale needing reversed across the field to stop it rolling away!! As someone mentioned into medium range for all reversing at the pit if at any sort of incline, and the same for filling in the field, but it needed the nack of flat out across the field to pull up alongside the harvester and having the length of the trailer to come to a near stop, get into medium range and get moving again before yer roof got covered in grass!, thrn a blip of the throttle to get the lever to engage 4wd!
I probably couldn't last till lunchtime nw with that clutch!! 😆 🤣

Guy who drove a loadall for a living took a bend in town too quick with it, braked but didn’t have pedals joined, probably didn’t press clutch either. Couped it coming off a roundabout in Dundee during afternoon school run.

We ran it about 10yr with Perspex windows. Dad refused to put any windows back in to begin with but the police pulled it over about 5 times and he got a final warning about it. so we got Perspex, well I think there was a glass back window from an International 584 too.

Headlights were suspended on cable ties coz the nose cone got wrecked in the crash too and he wouldn’t buy one of them either. 🙄

How can the police make u replace a window? Like how does that affect the tractors roadworthyness considerin u can buy a tractor with just a rollbar and it be road legal

Think they just got fed up seeing it on the road, wasn’t just one window, it was most of them, front end was smashed in too and the trailers back in the day weren’t of a particularly high standard.
