It's going to be proper vintage before they sell it at that money

.......and devalue by about 50% the minute the wheels get dirty

Really 25k, someone else on the estate said to me its about 20k, but willcocks where closed to ask.
But its not plated either?

I thought it was a full nut and bolt rebuild,would need to be for that money.

Whats the point?

Investment?

Hmmm...nothing on their website. Infact, no tractors at all......which is odd for a main dealership.
No point worrying about the hours....if clocks being changed...
Anyway....more facts required me thinks.

No idea. I just got edited highlights from someone who was in their yard. They may very well have done a front to back rebuild.

12x12 transmission. SL box, no DP?
Why rebuild a entry level tractor with poverty spec seat and hyd arms made less usable than new.
I like a good 7840 but would be better with sldp box, turbo and air seat.
I'm out.

Exactly - if your going to spend that money do it properly and rebuild an 8340

I bet the tyres are as cheap as you can buy as well
