[QUOTE="mf7480, post: 6878663, member: 783"] Keep what you have. I bought a global Massey to replace an old 300 series. To cut a long story short in the 2 years we had it the new one depreciated £11,000 and cost £2,300 in repairs. In the end we got fed up with it and got rid of it. We never got round to selling the old one, so the irony is it’s been dragged back out of retirement with the acceptance we’ll have to spend a few quid on it every year keeping it going. The build quality of the budget new stuff from all brands is shocking compared to the old ones. I wouldn’t be worried about sending it for an engine rebuild- that’s the easy bit! It’s all a known quantity. I can recommend sending it to Howard & Sons Devizes for any work you want doing to it. They’ve done up literally hundreds of these tractors. They will have it back to you very quickly and if you need a tractor to keep you going they will drop one off when they pick yours up. [/QUOTE]
