ford 7810

[7610 super q]

Just for the record, I’d spend my money on several other models of tractor before I chucked my money at a 7810. The value isn’t likely to go up any more and they’re not really all that good.

I’m in a grumpy mood, this morning. Sorry!

All right, I accept your apology, but don't let it happen again...

Value not going to go up any more ? Who knows. I was offered £3.5k for mine in 2007. For once I did the right thing and turned it down. It's trebled it's value in a decade. There are, however, an awful lot of them about. All with wide tyres, stainless straight pipe exhaust, twin beacons, twin CB twigs......
I'd go for something rarer, 8600/ 9600/ TW 10/15/20 etc. Even the 56/66/76/7700 seem rare now. Too many exported.

It's just my opinion... but I can't see them breaking in to the £20ks. They are too common.

I'd stay ahead of the curve - 40 series, TS etc. Catch the next wave rather than wait for the current one to go flat. Also, a 40 series / TS is a far nicer machine in every single way

I'd buy into the Marshall 100 range
That's a dead cert

Perhaps once the folk interested are past the point of buying that era of tractor then real values might just tail off. Unless the machine is very rare i cannot see them having the demand of a nice classic car. If you look at the value of some really old classic cars that were everyday to some they do not seem particularly valuable.

That's what I'm wondering.....will the pushy button generation be interested in collecting things with levers in years to come ?
Note how the market for " brown " furniture has fallen off a cliff in the last decade.

Take a standard Fordson. Near worthless, now - nobody wants them.

 

[REStracTORATION]

We are noticing a steady change with the newer series creeping in for restorations got to move with the times.
As you say the generation want what they knew

At least the 40 series will never go out of fashion.
Cos it's never been in fashion...

I'm just waiting for the TMs to become collectors items

I wonder if the weekend Ploughmen will be running about in fastracs in the future ? It will solve the transport between matches at least

Because they all want what they drove when they left school? "L" reg Ford 7000 for me!

Fine if it keeps down the price of a late 8340 with a good set of boots, under 6k hrs, and immaculate paint. I'll buy the heap of sh1t to save anyone else the bother.

My 7840 will go above 4000 hours this spring....hoping the fact it's 2wd will add to rarity value though.

That'll be an old photoshopped picture from some years ago, that 7840 was probably only a couple of months old then
