Old lundell drill value

[hendrebc]

Have a 1956 built lundell drill that someone has been trying to buy from me forver and would like an idea of value before i give it away as i think it might have some value (but still not a lot) as a vintage machine. It all works and i have all the missing tubes and sprocket for the fertilizer and i have the guard that is missing in the picture. The only thing wrong is some welding and bracing on the frame in one place either side. Even have the book that comes with it. Came out of burgess in Ludlow the sticker is still on the back but been here since the 80s sometime. Been stored inside up until this winter which is a shame. All works really well and ive been using it up until last spring put 13 acres of barley in it and the clock for counting the acres even works. Ive used it every year for the last 10 years doing between 10 and 30 acres every year and never missed a beat. Only changing because its being replaced with a newer more versatile drill. Anyway anyone know what it might be worth?

I've bought a couple of early drills to do up, they cost more to do than they are worth, and there is a surplus of drills needing homes as shed space becomes more precious, if someone is willing to pay you and give it a good home then it sounds like win/win. Any offer over scrap would be more than fair, £150?

I'd heard the hills were steep in Wales!

Sadly its worth nothing except to a dedicated collector.
Come to a deal and it will be treasured as an antique

I wasnt offered £50 for it i said i wanted money for the new and newish tyres which is all ive ever spent on it so id be happy with that thanks

That was the idea but the man almost wanted it for free

Is there any connection between these and MF
Drills seem to remember Lundell were sold by JD. All a long time ago

 

[Roger Perry]

Lundell were based at Edenbridge..? in Kent, and yes, Exfarmer you are correct in the JD thing because at that time I believe Lundell imported the JD 4010 and 5010 as JD had no other base in UK. Did not open Langar till 63-64..???

We'd keep it, fold it up and find a corner, no one else will see the same value in it. You can always pull the "new tyres" off if they'll fit a project ............

nice to see something on here that ive used and still got,although minus its wheels as they wer taken off to put on our cattle trailer, sowed many an acre with this machine, took the spouts off an used it to sow grass seed before it got parked up, it will end up at the scrappy 1 day unless anybody on here wants it

It's not for me, that, but thank you for the offer.

£100 - £150 is what I would say.

Didnt think you would want it but thought you would appreciate seeing it anyway
