I hate modern tractors

[Spud]

30k for 7620 with the hours is a good price , sorry to say but they are very hard to move with high hours on them now

Worth more to keep. Gearbox has only done 3300hrs. SISU motor good for the same hours again. Had it from new.

Sounds like a sensible buy, you might not look as flash but you will have more money in your wallet instead of dealers

I can put up with a clutch and manual gears.
The only must have is cab suspension.

I was quoted £160k for a new 720 a year ago. They won't of come down.

I think you need to get some one eles to buy your tractors for you if that was the price of a 720 a year ago, I smell a rat some were with that price , who is your fendt dealer ?

You're entitled to your opinion.

No rats here.

No point looking harder at Fendt, 700's are too short for this particular slot, amd I wouldn't have an 828 for all the tea in China. The 720 I looked at was potentially to replace a different tractor doing a different job.

Them old 7495 T2 tractors have not gone down in price for few years now they bottom out at a price and stay there for a good while or some may have gone up in price a little , be not auto steering on that age of tractor unless you fit an after market kit to it

After market auto steer isn't an issue

Another wise investment I would much rather sheds then shinny paint but we are all different I guess

Ok .. forget all my posts on this thread.

Since posting the OP, the Deutz has gone, a 6150 with 14,000hrs has gone to Poland in exchange for a brand new 6R 185 (plus the value of a terrace house), the Fastrac was exchanged for two newish silage trailers .... and the 10,000hr 6155 has replaced the 8,000hr 6250 in pieces in the workshop.

Still far too many sensors and other rubbish on modern tractors though

Bald Rick, thats why the ford 5000s,7000s 6600,7600, 6610, 7610. ( 3 ford series, but all related parts), were so popular to be exported, re built and can be rebuilt in the back of bey,ond, with little electrics, that a "basic" mechanic can understand and fix

Update:

I priced up changing the 7620 (now on 9000hrs) for a new 8s225VT (205 would do but we need the bigger frame of the 225)
Cost to change £137k!!!!!
Kept the 7620. Bought a 20yo 7495 with 4300hrs from a farm sale. It's been on a well equipped 400acre ring fenced farm from new and never seen a road. Serviced on the dot, 90% tyres, well specced. Cost? Under £30k (just!)
Practically, it's mostly replaced the older 6480 because my apprentice is about in love with the thing. It'll also increase capacity for pressing, cart work and bedtilling. The 6480 is staying for spring initially, and may stay longer to cover 3075 work while it has a refurb. It's also backup for the newer 6480.
Time will tell if we've made the right decision

Well done that looked a really nice tractor.

Why is it in pieces?

I watched it to value my 7485,looked a straight tractor, good luck with it.

 

[som farmer]

the price of machinery, out prices the value of our produce.

and stuffed full of high tech gadgetry, that cost's a fortune when it goes wrong.

It's a modern tractor so not designed to be repaired with a hammer.

Gearbox is in pieces for some reason
