Is this really worth 50K

[Muck Spreader]

Is this restored Porsche tractor really worth 50,000 euro? I frequently see them for sale (unrestored) over here for 2-5k or are classic tractors the only thing worth farming nowadays?

No , just one too many "0"

I was wrong the ones I see for sale aren't 419's. The Porsche 419 must be equivalent to the David Brown 50D. Another one for sale here at similar money

I can't see how...

But I guess it's like land - worth as much as someone will pay. I don't know enough about them to decisively answer. There are plenty of nutters around that want £8,000 for a David Brown 995, though. Maybe the Porsche seller is a nutcase, too?

If the target market is deep pocketed Porsche collectors with a country pad who want bragging rights to a vintage Porsche tractor then yes

I don't know see plenty of JD 6 series with 12000hrs for £15k they are the real nutters as the 6 can only go one way and probably quite quickly.
