Well wear, looks a good outfit. There is a similar one locally, the owner is happy and doesn't spare it.
What spec is it?
Thanks for all your compliments.
Mike , yes some step up comfort wise. Especially as it's really to replace what's left of a 1975 Ursus 385. For the moment I am thinking about hanging onto the other pair of Zetors. A 12145 and a 8145 , both with Tanco brackets on them.
It's 06 , Rossmore FL80 loader. 4750 hrs. Original tyres, all well down , but I got a pr of GY radials 60%+ , to fit it , but not fitted. A new set of BKTs all round would cost €2700. Pair of fronts roughly 900.
1 2 3 4 on 1 gear stick, with buttons on the stick for 1 2 3 . Plus high and low. And a clutched shuttle , all on the R/H side. Electric lift controls, take a bit of getting used to ... Buttons on the mudguards for lift , but not pto.
I had driven a similar one in a local Same/Deutz dealer 3 weeks ago . The same dealer sold both new , in Cork , but both traded near enough here . Other for a New Holland.
A friend buys a lot of the trade ins from the NH dealer for resale , or export , and I bought it off him.
Had been thinking of a NH TS 110, 115 or 8360 but most have big hours for the money. Then I heard " damper plates, synchros , and lots of other expensive words.
So I bought this . If it as reliable as the 8145 has been , I won't say a word. It's very gutsy , and manoeuvre able. A Carroro axle.
