[QUOTE="Sheep, post: 7687651, member: 4108"] I'm looking for a suitable tractor with a fairly simple set of requirements. 1. Air conditioning 2. Some form of suspension (good air seat alone considered?) 3. Circa 110-120hp We have two A series Valtra tractors, both [B]without [/B]air con, suspension, air seats, and have 12x12 gearboxes. Great simple little tractors that do the job absolutely fine; typically we have one tractor which does a lot of stationary/driverless work and the second does field work. The field work tractor does approx. 200hrs per year of jobs such as tedding, fertiliser spreading, spraying and some road work. Spending 4 days in a tractor sweating my nuts off in 25+ degree heat doing some tedding followed by getting covered in dust and bouncing around whilst cultivating really does not entertain me; not to mention the damaging health aspect. Looking at past threads and various brands, its apparent that I'll get a lot more bang for my buck, whilst meeting my spec, going for the likes of a Renault or Claas vs a CNH/JD/AGCO. Is there any particular model to avoid from Renault/Claas? Chances are in this budget its more likely to be a Renault. Am I missing anything obvious from other brands? Deutz seemingly command more of a premium too. Models I'm looking at are the 600 Ares and Arion series. [/QUOTE]
