Ford 8100

[Paul_P]

I was just wondering how many of these machines appear on the market. I fancy one as a bit of a restoration project, just minor restoration and maybe paint, nothing too hard, but I'm not sure there's many to be had these days..... Nothing seems to appear on ebay and there's one in Tractor and Machinery that's been on there for a couple of months so is probably sold.

I'm looking for one as well!

 

[Paul_P]

Did you phone up about the one in Tractor & Machinery?

 

[Thick Farmer]

No, I nearly bought one on eBay before Christmas. Wish I had now...

 

[Paul_P]

Oh well, keep looking, as soon as you buy one you'll find another 6 better and cheaper ones for sale the following week!

I can't really afford one just now, I've got to sell my Cat D4 first to get some spare cash.

There is a Ford 8200 on eBay it on £4000 at the moment . Looks real good.

 

[Thick Farmer]

I will be interested to see what price it finishes at...

 

[Tractor Mick]

That's about its worth I think,they aren't desirable,tw-10/20 aren't much more and there a better tractor,they fit that category of too big for smallholder types etc and they weren't popular when new so they don't hold a value really.People may ask higher prices but I'd say that was bang on money

 

[Thick Farmer]

I was watching it and it didn't sell as no-one bid on it. I would value it at around £6k as there aren't many left. Agreed, there were lots of better tractors made, but these are a bit rare.

 

[Tractor Mick]

I think it's because they were put together by county.

 

[Thick Farmer]

That's correct Mick. They were also a hell of a powerfully tractor in their day and very much under-rated in my opinion.

There was a 8100 4wd at a sale I recently went to. Sold for £5700, pouring black smoke out, body work shot to hell and interior wasn't much better.

Considering I bought a 1988 TW15 almost two year ago for £6000 as a winter project, I thought the 8100 was a big pricey!

People often associate rarity and value. They bear no relation to each other in most cases! Triumph Acclaims are rare, too - you can get on for around £5.

its not because they are rare, ford 8100 that is , its the fact they were made by county, countys are rare enough but very few county 2wd ever built
