Definitely 10 series JD here. It outworks the 7200 R and is more reliable. Never seen a fendt

Fastrack, ideally a 1991 original but early 2000's will probably still be collectible. Values will be helped by most of the older ones being very high hours and lots of road miles so low hours, mint condition will be rare. Good for road runs too!

7530 Deere will be the last classic John Deere in my opinion

I can’t see much at all made after the turn of the century that will be branded classics.

Maybe but a lot of computer controlled stuff will get scrapped and recycled because it will be too expensive and complicated to repair.really don’t see many cars about older than 6/8 years old these days either

Nick , people buy collect old computers, I have no idea why. I dont think it will stop todays youngster in 40 years time buying these tractors

I understand what you’re saying but I think with electrical and computer problems I think they would do well to last half that time.i hope I’m wrong having said that and hope they are about in 40 years

There may be technological advancements that can cure these computer problems in time, maybe 'smart boxes' that plug in and learn the functions and get everything going again when the original 'brain' has died. Like how mechanical points can be swapped for electronic nowadays. In 40 years technology will be nuts, restoration might just involve throwing a bucket of nanobots over it

60 series were launched when Ford was taken over by NH. As buyers of the blue were Ford biased, many looked towards 40 series and TS ranges rather than the new Fiat based 60 series. Probably wary of the thought of buying a blue Fiat I reckon... As you say, TM's are well received, and 60 series should be no different really. There's not one bit of Ford ancestry in either of them

Post 2000? Any MF with dynashift box - especially 6480 & 6490. 7495 - high spec tractor easily driven & fixed VT box caused me far less bother than dyna6 over the years.
NH TM155. Jondy 8410 & 7920 PQ big simple comfy old tractors. MX Magnum a similar ord oss. Fendt 716&930

60s didn't have cab suspension and early ones were slow on the road so they're not as desirable as TMs. Having said that the 60s had a bigger diesel tank, seemed to have more power when tweaked to the limit and used less diesel.
