What 150hp+ appreciating classic

[Finn farmer]

One I’m on the look out for at the moment...Valtra 8950. Monster of a tractor with a real engine but modern enough to be an enjoyable day at the wheel..?

Friend has a 8950 with all the bells and whistles (50km/h, A/C, twintrac, industrial axles), done a bit under 3000 hours. Bought new only for power harrowing potato fields, so quite lightly worked. Everyone wants to buy it, but he won't sell. Although he has 2x 720, 1x 724 and a 936 Fendts.

Who on their right mind would go to forest with a 8000 series? Way too big and clumsy. 6000 series for forestry all day everyday.
