If anyone interested my old man bought bought a tidy 555 last year I a bit of a whim thinking it would replace a 360 for sake of traveling between farms, has since decided he doesn't like the concept of not turning with the machine and now thinking about selling both for a newer 360.

It spent its early life on an estate doing light work, always kept inside, then a lad with a croft bought it did very little with it then he bought a tractor and loader so digger was sold. I can't remember the age or the hours but if anyone is interested I will get both and pictures.

We already have a 2wd 550 loader, if the back actor didn't stick up so high on the 555 I would be tempted to have kept it at an off lying farm but it won't go in the shed for height.

Are you sure the engines are a different to the tractors? Maybe some slight difference but I would have thought the main parts be the same.

Industrial spec so i was told and to source parts was gonna be excess £6000
Ours was on its 2nd block and had 9500 hrs on it

 

[nick channer]

It`s just a 56 engine. new block early 90`s was £700.

Same block from a 5610 to a 7710. You mightn't get anything from a CNH dealer but Timik,for eg, will supply a recon.............

You can lower the boom below cab height and drive it in.

Plus VAT, no other fees..
I didn't recognise the guy who bought it and I don't think the auctioneer did either, a dealer was the 2nd-last bidder
It just came with the one (2ft?) bucket, and normal front bucket on a quick hitch

 

[Mursal]

Thanks, about the run of them over here ..............
If not a tad on the dear side ..........

I got a brand spankin new engine from pat Atkinson a few years ago for the 7610, straight out of the crate for £3750 + vat and the old engine. I was told he bought a massive stock of engines when Basildon were winding down production of engines, was offered a 7740 engine for the same price at the time.
