I kinda guessed all that but there’s something about itThe depreciation is an absolute killer on these, be prepared to be married to it.
Very very basic as well and not as dependable as the Fiat versions.

42k ish all in, for the extra few thousand you'd be far better off for a basic tractor.
Sound lad ,I tend to be drawn to old style tractors, all mechanical I don’t whyI'd be inclined to go for one of the better known brands in a basic format then a tractor thats rare enough out there. As said the depreciation will be steep but on the other hand I also say to anyone go for what you like. You'll be much happier spending the day in a cab of something you genuinely enjoy owning vs sitting in a cab all day grinding through work.
A farmer we work for bought a new one in 2018 don’t know what model, lift arms stopped working 3 times, pto turned on itself once nearly killed the man, other small trouble too, ended up going to court over itSound lad ,I tend to be drawn to old style tractors, all mechanical I don’t why
Alarm bells are ringing there ,I think I’ll stay well clear with a story like thatA farmer we work for bought a new one in 2018 don’t know what model, lift arms stopped working 3 times, pto turned on itself once nearly killed the man, other small trouble too, ended up going to court over it
That’s another very good point,another thing is the cheap parts price on tumosans but the the story above about the pto starting by itself makes me waryWhile I would not buy one myself I was wondering is it such a bad deal? You buy new with some kind of warranty for a year or more for 33k or u buy the landini for say 10k more. Both will depreciate but if he goes back to the Tomoson dealer in 3 years with say 1500 hrs on it will it be worth 16.5k euros and he has to put say 20k along with it for a new one. The landini in three years will it be worth 30k and he needs to go 20k to go new. Is he really any worse off financially with the Tomo? I assume rightly or not that he’s looking to buy a “cheap” new tractor and if so the Tomo or other cheap brands is the way to do it. Just my thoughts mind!
There is a company also making tractors that look very similar to the Massey 290s does anyone know what this company is called I’ve been racking me brain for it
Would this be them?
hard to understand how the pto would turn on itself if its the same as a fiat , you pull up a hand clutch, push down a lever which will grind going into gear, then you let the hand clutch back down so a lot of things would have to malfunction for it to happen unless those tumosans have hydraulic pto,s :scratchhead:A farmer we work for bought a new one in 2018 don’t know what model, lift arms stopped working 3 times, pto turned on itself once nearly killed the man, other small trouble too, ended up going to court over it
I wonder has the hand clutch on the Tumosan a lock when it's pulled so maybe it was left in PTO gear with the hand clutch pulled, if the cable snapped or the release bearing or clutch fingers gave up it could start up.hard to understand how the pto would turn on itself if its the same as a fiat , you pull up a hand clutch, push down a lever which will grind going into gear, then you let the hand clutch back down so a lot of things would have to malfunction for it to happen unless those tumosans have hydraulic pto,s :scratchhead:
You must be the first lad that ever dreamed of owning a Tumosan.Ya hattat I think is another
You didn’t sound a bit blunt,a boy can dream though :Thumbp2: I’d say a new tractor won’t be coming in to my yard anytime soon
No I was just looking at done deal and was curious I most definitely won’t be popping pictures of them up around the house And losing sleep over em I’ll tell you that muchYou must be the first lad that ever dreamed of owning a Tumosan.
Pto definitely came on anyway as there was a mounted mower on the back on road position and it made Sh** of the mowerI'd say it's heresay that the pto came on itself I can't see how that would happen.
I'd be still of the opinion of buying something older and spending the money on it.
There made of soft shite all them rip off yokes.
The only thing your getting is a new reg after that youd be better off with the 20-30 year old model fully restored

You’re spot onI got the free Tumosan hat at the ploughing one year. I wore it. Dont own a Tumosan but i like this thread because i like fiats and did wonder what Tumosan are like.
