I have a 100hp tractor that needs a lot of work not economic to repair its 1989
Stretch the budget to 12k ish
Need a loader but not right away
Pretty handy at the mecanical end of stuff.
maxxum 5140
Another vote for a 7840 here. A neighbour has a turbo one with close to 14000 hours on it and has been totally reliable. Putting out about 135 hp at the pto, and is an animal to pull.
Would any of these interest you.....??

not enuf poke in the 100's hi, nothing wrong with the 140's at all.Provided it has the mechanical hydraulics I'd be going for the F100 in Wexford.

still not enuf.Could turn her up on the pump to 115hp.
still not enuf.
if you want any decent power you have to cross the 130 mark imo.Then turbo it :whistling:
Some people getting greedy
How much would an F100 weigh? Would they not be kinda heavy for 100hp?
