Location

Was going to trade my 7930 in for a new tractor but don't think I'm being offered enough so may sell it privately. What do you think it's worth?

2008 jd 7930 auto power 50k
4800 hours
710/600 Michelin tyres 40%
Front linkage + pto
5 spools
Xenon lights
Active seat

You've got to love a trier. 44k in the weekly?

Was hoping it was worth more than that. Found this older one that's only 40k with higher hours.

The Question really is.
How much are they wanting for its replacement outright?
If its say a 6250R which iam presuming its nothing less then it wont be cheap.
Neither will any of the American built 7000 series with the way Currency is.
If that was mine & you couldnt get what you think its worth then keep it...
Unless of course its now under-powered then thats a diff story..
or its got underlying issues.

New Stuff is way overpriced...

No desperate need to change it but thinking it will need tyres in another year and it's getting on a bit really and like to keep things up to date. It doesn't do big hours as use smaller tractors for lighter tasks. New ones are only likely to get more expensive and could do with a few more hp.

Just buy the Tyres !!
Local Farming outfit has a 7930 with 800rears on but its one of the later 2011 ones..
The lad who currently drives it says he is in no hurry for a more modern rep..
Its only Powerquad but has the active seat in. & full Greenstar setup.
Mind its Engine has had its share of trouble but all sorted now.
Cant believe its ni on the same 6.8lt engine as whats it the 6930, yet sounds so much more powerful

Been in same situation. Second hand values aren't rising in line with new. Answer I suppose is too buy a second hand one! We just kept tractor we weren't getting offered much for

A 9 year old that tractor at those hours isn't even run in! Just keep it and use it for road runs. Will be a classic one day.
Easy solution stay away from the shinny new ones...

That thing will handle 300hp with ease, i wouldn't sell it if it was mine. (y) I'd be asking atleast something like 75k€ for that kind of Deere. Not everyone has that great piece of a tractor. :cool:
