We have a semi industrial 530/70. All depends on the spec. We upgraded from an old 520 so it’s amazing compared to that but 2005 for 10k we couldn’t say no. Normal joystick, aux lines, air con, normal wheels and I added a puh. The only visual difference is a set of tree guards on the cab (which I’ve removed) and it doesn’t say farm special. I believe it has a smaller turbo than an ag spec. Absolutely fine for an arable farm like us; it just loads wheat and loads the drill. Prob won’t be quick enough hydraulics if you want to go tearing around in it.I've driven an industrial spec 531/70 JCB - don't go there! Too much compromise to be useful. No auxillary hydraulics, no pickup hitch, air con, little wheels, plumbed differently - the joystick is up, down & boom extension, tilt is on a seperate lever, etc etc. Stick with Ag spec
