I'm looking for a fresh tractor. I'll be using for spraying, fertilising and pulling 4m direct tine drill with a hopper out front. So a reliable light weight machine, which is still man enough for draught work. Any ideas?? I'm pretty open minded on age, hours etc..

Shouldn't this be in the machinery thread.....
Unless OP is meaning he wants a classic tractor to do this work.... then I would say an inter 1455

Many thanks. As I said at the top, I'm not worried about age or hours. Most of the 160hp tractors seem to very heavy, for spray work. I was thinking 10 to 25 years old and solid. I'll try the machinery thread as you suggest. Thanks.

Have two, brilliant tractors, compact / pull 12t grain trailer / 14t bale trailer comfortably / comfy cab / has all mod cons you want but relatively cheap to repair compared to newer tractors
