I hate modern tractors

[ColinV6]

I asked the wrong person ,how many hours on your T7.210

1200

 

[Nearly]

Salesman was in for another reason and eyes lit up when he saw mine, he said about the new one and he could find a home for mine right away. Next thing I have a quote. Easy as that really. Like always if it had stacked up I’d have changed.

Didn’t plan on it last Time but it was a no brainer. This time not so much.

1200

I bet he can find a home for it.
I'd buy 2, and I hate modern tractors.

1200

How old is it?

1200

I bet that’s some depreciation Per hour, it’s just run in . father bought a brand-new Ford 3000 out of Lloyds at Penrith in 1969,£ 950 put 1200 hours on it and changed it in 1973 for another new 3000 out of Penrith and it was 1700 quid, but I don’t know the difference to swap. about the only and last time he ever did a deal like that.

decimalisation happened between those dates, effectively making the younger tractor the cheaper of the two.

Plenty of T7s running. About with over 10,000hrs on the clock. Our 270 is on 6400hrs and the 210 is on 3600hrs, they both probably see me out if needs be.

there both good spec with GPS and vario. Its probably cheaper and simpler to add another older one to the fleet than trying to upgrade to newer

I bet the depreciation isn't bad just the new ones have gone up in price so much

Can you extend warranties?

 

[Spud]

Can you extend warranties?

Usually, yes. Not on an 8340 though!

yep it’s been a really cheap tractor to run but it’s always hard to tell as trade in price can be skewed. Currently approx £7.50 per hour in depreciation.

I bet if you cleaned ir out it would be nearer 5 quid an hour

 

[ollie989898]

Surely it would depend on what finance deal they could do on the day? Or you don't need a bigger tractor? The two T270 I have driven were absolute weapons.

Cost to change per hour I was thinking

£9000 swap I now it won’t be T7.230 is not like for like . Or is the T7.210 worth £9000 less than you payed for it

 

[YELROM]

£9000 swap

I would imagine that is the price difference between what he paid and what has been offered as a trade-in

I’ve just edited my thinking. But I can tie myself and nots

If it was a £9k swap I’d be posting pics in the new toy day thread already

I was offered a deal recently cost to change a 3 year old tractor similar hours to yours for new of same brand was £32 hour, and mine may not be as sparkling as yours but I don’t think you will find many scratches on it. Green machine with red wheels

 

[ford 7810]

If kept for another 3 years would it not go down price per hour
