An 08 one can be had for under £20k. £24k ish for a 15 year old one.....I think not. Trade in.....maybe £13k

04.... manual shuttle? Trade in 16k

If it was on a dealers website they'd be asking 20

 

[Dave6170]

Is it a classic with a manual shuttle? 13k trade in. Power shuttle a fair bit more

 

[Chuckie]

I remember Dobsons selling those for about £19k brand new at that time

[Greythundercloudys]

That is very little money! As a quick guess I would think it would be going for at least £18k on a dealer’s forecourt?

Gear box issues ?

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Yes, l thought 13 would have been a fair offer, especially if l was taking a tractor of them.

 

[Dave6170]

Gear box issues ?

Yeah clutch and manual shuttle We got rid of it for 5455 with a power shuttle and its been really good

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Clutch abit jumpy, but OK otherwise, wanting abit younger and more hp tractor.

Bit surprised the speed shift box is one most basic on the market, there is not much to go wrong with it,

It was the dry clutch that was the issue with them. Borg and Beck has serious issues at the time with many other tractor manufacturers. The Organic clutch plate they were producing was delaminating in service leading to a dragging clutch which then was putting extra strain on the forward reverse synchro. If you swaped the clutch disc for a paddle cerametalic type they they would then squeek when setting off and eat the flywheels for fun!

Whatever compound was used in the clutch plates must of been banned or similar at that time as the older clutches were no bother. We were splitting every new tractor sold in less than 50hrs for over twelve months and swapping clutches right left and centre! It was the end of dry clutches in tractors!!

If you said that at the start.
Still think worth £18 k
Some asking 16k for 4345 and 4255 's these parts?

 

[agrimax]

But it was the trade in value he was asking about....?
