Haha more like too tight to buy new, but hey, I'll take any compliment tbf!

SISU engine not a worry, provided it's had oil change on time, the weak point is the water pump but likely it's been done.
Brakes not a worry because they don't disintegrate, only crack. Sniff the transmission oil (dipstick above left over the PTO) and if it smells burnt rather than dirty, leave it alone, because the cardan brake will be knackered. Change the final drive oil regularly. Weak points on the transmission are high low cable and wiring loom. Both 00's not 000's to fix.

Would I buy it? To do 2-300hrs a year, at the right money yes. To do 1000hrs a year, probably not.

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t consider 10k hours as high hours?

A vario replacement is usually around 7k hrs depending on use/driver. Might be worth asking if it's ever had one fitted.
Appears to look fairly straight & tidy for the hours

the fergy varios seem to fair better than fendt versions.

Will be in the 00s not 000s of hours a year. How much is a cardan brake to repair?

is it a lot to replace / repair the transmission? Maybe worth doing if it will do another few thousand hours once done? Looks tidy and high spec for the money

the price is very optimistic

Surely if they dont break much that is a good thing..

 

[masseybreaker]

Is there maybe a reason for that? Knackered gearbox?

Be worth asking if it’s her dad’s or husband’s, will have had an easier life if it’s her dad’s
