Afternoon,
I’m looking into adding a second tractor to the business, and currently what I’m thinking of is a Massey 7480 T2 VT. T2 7480 fits the business well, and perfect size along with 50k on the road, and the vario would be luxury for us.
Will mainly be on the rake/wrapper through the summer and bale spikes/flat trailer through the winter on deliveries.
Have found a few tidy examples 5-8k hours for £25-29k. Another option is a 6480 t3, but would expect to pay more and not so keen on a dyna 6, but open to opinions on them too.
Looking for some comments and opinions on previous experiences with a 7480vt. From what I hear the vt gearbox is quite reliable (obviously dependant on previous driver), but how does it stand heading up to 8k hours? Would I be buying a tractor ready for a replacement vario?
Any other common faults/issues to look out for or expect to happen with those hours?
