Used ~200 hp heroes

[robinsjanis]

Hello!
As we can't buy new tractor, I am looking for approx 200 hp tractors at a good price. Surfing thru Latvian machinery adverts I found the following:
JD 7810 (no tls, right hand reverser 7000 hours) - 24 k
Case CVX1195 (front axle, cab suspension, front PTO)- 26k
NH / FIAT G210 (has super steer, looks tired a little bit) - 16,5k

I do like the JD a lot, but case has better value and spec I do like CVX box (I have worked with Puma CVX 165). NH Genesis seems to be used a lot, it has a lot more hp than the rest. I can't decide which one to go or...

Avoid the G210
Big farm here bought one, it's spent more time in the workshop than in the field.
Front axle failier, gear box kept jumping up and down for no reason,
They had it for a year and got rid

Avoid the G210. Not famous for their reliability especially the transmission!

If you don’t mind taking about 10 seconds to shuttle back and forth through the gears an old 7220 Magnum would be as simple and tough as it gets so far as two decade old technology goes.

Lovely 7250 pro with low hours on eBay at the moment. Wish I could justify that sort of horsepower

Didn’t see the OP asking for smoke and noise?

They were a mind boggling machine back in the day 8.3 litres of Cummins oompf and almost 280hp. Genuinely seemed like something of science fiction to me way back then...

it will pull a house down and go up in value.

Not if it’s got the Powershift box, otherwise you’re spot on

8830

Great thing on the PTO to be fair, the funk was so much nicer to use and kept the motor on the boil at 2000 rpm so much easier than the box type.

For their day, sure they were fine, tough enough old things but the engines where well past their best running at up to 200hp.

7.5 litre powerstar from just a couple of years later a totally different thing obviously

easier, but not better

Suppose it depends on who is using it or owning it.

depends on who is paying for the inevitable transmissuion failure.
i had two 30 series, cracking things to drive but both had to be pushed onto lorries as trade ins
