They're the ones to get if you can find one. They'll be getting expensive though as few and far between if your looking for a tidy one

Sorry about the old thread resurrection but seems to be the place to ask-I’m in the market for either an old unimog or fastrac. 20k budget to smarten up and put on a straw rake and trailer in summer…. Unimog would be like a 1300 type thing and fastrac I’m thinking 145-we used to have 1135 and 3185 and I do fancy another jcb really…are the real early ones reliable? Spares ok still?

Just sold one. If during your search you happen across a 2170 on a 2011 Scottish plate, don’t. Others get on well with them i know, but that barsteward drove me demented.

155-65 needed a new clutch every yr, which meant engine out

The earliest one I ever had was a 1135. It was a great tractor, but it had a problem with the clutch becoming very sharp when it got warm. Smooth-shift sorted the problem out with the 2135’s.
As far as I know spares are not a problem for earlier models. In fact, knowing JCB quite well, I’d say that spares for any JCB tractor or loader wouldn’t be difficult to obtain.
I’m not sure what you will get for £20K.
There are some on here that would just about fit your price. But I’d avoid the 1115 unless its engine was replaced with the ones fitted to the 1135.

Yeah our old 1135 was the same…I was thinking a 145 turbo like early 90’s era as they don’t seem to make much. I am leaning toward the unimog for reliability…just visibility isn’t great out the back
You can’t buy a unimog they are all used for tree surgeons and posing from what I can make out

Think my old 1135 is for sale again. Be outwith budget I'd think though.

Our old 1135 ended up a Coventry Airport. They looked after it well.
Nonetheless, 10 years later it was for sale for more than I sold it for!

This is a real concern…but they do seem to cope better than a fasty with abuse. Tried that one in Cheffins unsold…had done no end of work but still very driveable. 12000 I think the reserve. But would want ag spec

We have a jd 6420 which may go as part ex if the right tractor came along…but with things how they are I’m loathed to let it go as it’s a cracker…just no tls or cab suspension.

Yeah sounds like I should try for a 2135 or something if we go down that route…smoothshift…I recall the knee ache our 1135 used to give.
