If the tyres are ok it could be worth around £4k although it will probably make more if its a farm sale.

It will make more than that. You can't find a decent 2wd scraper tractor for love nor money these days.

A few here click

And if there is competition for it, who knows where they will stop.
Keep a wee eye on fees and commission.

 

[multi power]

It's worth 3-6 k depending on condition

Looks tidy enough, so will send a buyer - am in the midst of lambing right now. What's the story with the three sticks? I'm used to 200 Masseys having two.

the three sticks means its a 12 speed syncro gearbox,same as multi power but you have to dip the clutch to change gear!far safer on banks for a novice driver lol,when your used to it, a good gearbox you can change two at once to keep up momentum !!sounds crazy but it works

Good gearbox ! Bit of an understatement
12 speed syncro is by a very long way the best non power shift transmission ever made

Well I don't know .............

 

[msheep66]

So what did the said tractor make today?

 

[msheep66]

We had back in the 80s a Leyland 282 synchro and a Massey 290 12 speed synchro and the Leyand box was much nicer to use even though it had 3 less gears.

@Highland Mule

 

[msheep66]

So did you get it?

 

[Highland Mule]

Aye, but not got it home yet.

 

[Mursal]

That would be scraping 6k with everyone paid?

 

[Highland Mule]

No buyers commission up here, so that's the price.

 

[msheep66]

Well done don't forget to post us a photo.

 

[Mursal]

Feck ................

That's great, the best of luck with it

 

[Highland Mule]

Will do, but will be a few days until I get it home.
