Def go for a 7718 over a 76, it’s much more comfortable tractor and easier to navigate the menus if it doesn’t have a datatronic screen, as for problems check the cab springs if it’s the standard suspension they can wear out on a 76 at least not had it on a 77 yet other than that just the usual stuff on any second hand tractor, if it’s a dyna 6 third c range will sh!t itself if you listen to a few on here who love banging the same drum ?

Why not go for a 7719. Think ther nicer just to be a bit different from all the 7718s and 7720s about

The 42 and 30” wheels make the whole tractor look way more in proportion. I always thought the 7718 looked too low and long on 38’s

Spent a fair few hours in a well specced 7618vt, comfortable and easy to drive. Generally a fairly nice place to spend the day. Not immune to the odd breakdown, probably wouldn't want to run one out of warranty
Only ever spent a couple of days in a 7718d6, and that is enough. Noisy, bouncy and the autodrive is constantly trying to change into a gear you don't want it in. Thoroughly horrible thing to drive, wouldn't really want to run one at all. VT may be a different story.

Just had a quick browse on big tyres. 650/65r42 £2080, 650/75r38 £2800, both trelle. Offset a little by rim, but steel cheaper than rubber. That extra air capacity means the 75s can be run at lower pressure for same load, as well as looking the part.

Pass. The men who generously bore the brunt of the depreciation on my stallions spec'd 650/65r38s, so I can only dream.
