New Tractor and Loader

[livestock 1]

There’s plenty of hurlimann and zetor loader tractors in this area and they’ll all do the job you want for less money

I’ve thought about that but I’m not sure it would cost more in the end

Cheaper to set of with tho ? And if he’s not doing much field work anything that starts every day will do

These cheaper, more budget brands really do seem hit or miss, some seem to go forever with little trouble while some just seem to fall apart from day one. Yes it can happen to other brands but doesn’t seem as bad

And we'll have a loader on every tractor we have. From a wee 365 Mf to 6630 Deere and 135 Maxxum.

Do move a lot of bales ?

Whats Tunstall tractors like to deal with? Will they come out and fix you up any time day or night?

Mine was always needing something so dearer to run than a New Holland in the end

We had a farmall, it got renamed the f&@kall as it was f&@k all use, so I would steer clear of those if I were you, got a Massey now but personally I still don’t like it, my preference would be the JD

we has a jd6430 4 cylinder now got a mf6465 6 cylinder, the mf prob more nible as its has a much better steering lock due to using engine as the chassis, jd has chassis railing making them numb...

3 per day for feeding. Of course they need to be moved when baled and again when transported to the farm. Probably 5000+ bale contacs per year. We also move pallets, use the stone bucket a lot and during winter we clear a lot of snow.

True, but I’m sure OP said he has a telehandler - that’s what I would use for mucking out.

Telehandlers dont seem to detiorate as fast as loader tractors

For stock farmer 70k seems huge price for tractor loader that might do very little field work,

Few years ago it was 40k !

Hi Folks,

We are currently looking to purchase a new tractor and loader around 100/110hp. We are looking for a nice compact tractor for around the yard and going in and out of sheds cleaning them out, it will also be used for the odd few jobs out the land. We have a loader on the farm as well so the tractor won't be needed for heavy lifting. We have looked at a good few makes, but have it kinda narrowed down to John Deere 5100r, Case farmall 115, Valtra A114 or Massey Ferguson 5711s. Has any one experience with any of these or have suggestions? Thanks Farmer lad

Looks like your obviously looking new however we have a NH 5070 and it’s great I think. We have dual power model . Simple H pattern gearbox and only two step cab . Really handy with a loader. Never given bother .

Same here,2 steps much better than 3 for yard work,go a long way to beat a T5000 for loader work now,T5 not as good.

No trouble bar the seat sensor.

Have driven a T5 , nice enough but nh have made a nice we compact tractor big and bulky in my opinion. It brings it into line with the other ranges but Doesn’t keep the same characteristics. Also they standardise the big cab and stick it on a wee tractor. Not suitable me thinks .
