What awful electrics?Either a TW, or TM. Both getting very pricey. TW awful crash box, TM awful electrics to worry about.
TM is about as modern as I'd want to go.

But they arent cheap. Ther probably not gonna appreciate in value as thats already happened. Id say a 716,718,818 or 820 vario would be a better chance of goin up in value in years to comeAny of the square bonnet fendt favorits 818 824 916 920 etc
We have three magnums here 7210, 7240 and 7250. None have 8000 hours on them yet and they aren't going anywhere. They are fabulous tractors, possible candidates for the best ever made! The 7250 has had a full overhaul on the front axle apart from that they have barely been touched in years. I am starting to think with a bit of work they will last for ever or at least until everyone stops making parts for them.71 or 7200 series magnums.reliable solid tractors. Nothing fancy to go wrong. 8.3 Cummins will easily make 12-15000 hrs.

Didn’t they have a cooling issue if you plan putting it on stirring ??Can’t complain about that.What are used values like on them, have they gone mad yet?
I think my budget is about 20k, which rules out a lot of the stuff above. Wondering would a late model TM 190 be the most savvy purchase, if one could be got tidy and within budget. Can’t see it losing any money and a very capable tractor if I didn’t get one of the famously unreliable ones.
They are still available here (I am in France) for 15 to 20K. Funny though the New Holland TM has a bad reputation over here and could be bought for quite a bit less than a similar houred Magnum.Can’t complain about that.What are used values like on them, have they gone mad yet?

Why not buy a Cat75E rubber tracked crawler. If it’s just going to sit there on PTO work you shouldn’t have issues with the tracks. Cheap as chips for the horsepower and about half the price of a secondhand loader tractor.
I'm just thinking here. Do you have three phase?
Unfortunately not, just single. Not interested in lorry engines or anything that needs fabricating. Would just like a nice safe tractor purchase, which is as good as money in the bank.
That was more transmission oil overheating. Was solved on later ones with bigger oil cooler and earlier ones should have been fitted with a upgraded cooler and hoses. Last ones were very good tractors.Didn’t they have a cooling issue if you plan putting it on stirring ??
