I’m not...not even that much of a tractor fan but I’ve always loved that tractor...think it’s the noise it makes

820 fendt. Bought a 7530 instead.? Would've been interesting to see how fendt stood up.

Those ruddy things must have had magical properties, the way everyone raves after them, and the prices that get asked for them.

I’m sure there’s a 6930 on eBay for 76k

I don’t get the lust for older tractors, unlike cars.

Older tractors feel just that... old. Generally new ones are quieter, more powerful, easier to spend a day in. A tractor is a tool, albeit a nice one and one to look after. Not an emotional purchase??

Old ones can be fixed with spanner’s not a laptop tho

The reliability of the old deeres and cheaper to fix makes them better in some ways

That’s a valid point. I’d never jump on one for a day over it’s newer alternative though.

The r’s can easy be high teens of thousands to fix especially the direct ones

Neither would I! Give me an air seat and cab suspension any day

Why is a laptop worse than a spanner? Today’s spanner is a laptop that was a spanner to a hammer 20 years ago

Because I can use a spanner and not a laptop resulting in me having open wallet surgery
