Tractor for €10000???

[Cmoran]

Well folks any tractor over 100hp for sale preferably 6cyl the bigger the better for my budget €10000? Just want it for bit of yard work and as a spare for busy times. Tia

Stretch to €12000 and you could have my Titan 160. New turbo and manifolds three years ago. Regularly serviced including transmission and rear axle oil and filters. Will be on the big round baler this bank holiday weekend.
Not that I'm in any hurry to sell it, because it is a handy extra tractor to have on my farm.

Thers a mf 3080 on donedeal way 6500 hours for 8500. Looks reasonably tidy

To be honest its not really suitable as a yard tractor. The clutch is too abrupt on Titan models. I've posted many pictures of it to this forum previously but if you are really interested in parting with €12k for it, I'll post some more. Over the weekend. Big bales to do though.

It’s more a spare tractor than yard tractor I’m after but will be on scraping duty for winter in out farm but loads of room

Really, anyone who has one of these will tell you that shuttling about on a yard is not its strong point, to say the least. I prefer to be honest and not sell an unsuitable machine to anyone. It just isn't. Great field and road tractor but very frustrating when attaching implements and shuttling around the yard. It's just not a yard tractor no matter how big the yard. You'd be better with something like a JD PowerQuad or similar with a nice smooth shuttle and progressive clutch.

On the plus side the linkage is fast to raise and lower and easy to use. The PTO clutch is smooth and the engine economical and responsive and rather a good performer. The powershift and shuttle work really well in the field and the clutch isn't used so much but is more forgiving. The steering lock is good and light for the driver to use and self centres to a greater extent than most. Good lock too but quite a big wide beast compared to a MF 3080 or something, as it should be with 60% more power. The fuel tank is a very useful 340 litres, which would last for many weeks of casual yard scraping, unless the yard was massive and it was a 12 hour a day job, as it is on some of the larger dairy units.

What year and approx hours?

was looking for something similar a while back, a case 955/956/1055/1056 seemed like a good bet at the time. on mcleans there is a ford 7810 for 11k, and an 8340 for 12k, both good tractor imo although the 7810 is a very old bus now, perhaps thats not a bad thing as it will appreciate if looked after.

So I’m still no further on in my search for a tractor. Where is best place to search for tractors in Uk?

For under 10k Facebook is probably your best bet, most people don't like paying to advertise unless it's expensive kit, eBay also worth a look

Keep an eye on S Cheers website as very often he has budget tractors priced under 10k that maybe suitable for what you require.
