We had one one demo full spec and the insurance value was 109k View attachment 944307View attachment 944308
Was that rtk for that sort of money? . No front pto and just on standard 42s rather than the fancy hi load 38s

I'm told the last of the 7720s vt where 108k. Add on front pto and rtk with fancy tyres was knocking on for 130k

I'd rather have a 7719 vt than a new small 8s without a vario .

Yes, to the right man a 70k tractor may mean a significant saving from a new one. Half price perhaps. It is a lot of money though and it takes a bit of luck and good contacts to retail such a thing quickly.


not very often it happens like the deal I did,no advertisement...a mutual friend put him in touch with me so it all worked well,the chap was pricing a new one but smaller model and lot lesser spec so he seen mine as the better option,I won’t hesitate to sell the next one private again

5 years in development so they tell us.
and from launch they couldnt offer a vario trans? why? there is plenty available to suit that HP bracket? AGCO owns the sister company that makes the bloody things
I heard it should come later this summer and it shall come to bigger model in the same serie if i understand all right

I first think to wait for a vario, but my dealer told me i must wait to the end of the year so i skip it. It is strange they not put theme in right away, but if i understand right from my dealer two more model of 8S are soon here, so maybe that why they hold the vario for. But it is strange!

i recon it will be a version of whats pretty much in a 800series fendt somehow & watch the massey do 60/65k we wait n see & be 285/305hp models

Where is this 265 hp fendt for less than £115k or is someone mixing up their metric and imperial again :unsure:
rough guess to get an 826 fendt to match up with a 8S.265 cant see any change out of £170k
again it all depends on spec there can be as much as a £30/35k diff from a standard Fendt in that class to one with all the boxes ticked.
Masseys no that much different but it be more like £20/25k swing
That Spec of that 7719S there is pretty much full what but just by unticking a few boxes it could easily drop too just under £100k.
There is lesser specced options coming for the 8S but not available from launch & i suspect it will be when the dyna-vt models are available there will be other changes then
