Presumably the other horsey crowd that also don't pay taxes, they jump hurdles on racetracks instead of running on public roads though in fairness.

Well diesel won't be worth robbing shortly so I'm guessing they will be seen with the rear door of the hiace up in the air with a couple of pallets of Bog roll hanging out the back instead.

Interesting read. The hours are very low on the big deutz and John Deere. They only did about 300hrs a year. how was there so many tractors in the fleet if they weren't clocking up a lot of hours?

werent clocking up as much hours because of the amount of machines there was. he had 2 silage fleets pretty much except for a 2nd loader. and they werent going 24/7 either and the lack of drivers too i spose

Says in that link that it went unsold at €78k

Thanks it’s not visible on my phone for some reason. Serious amount of life left in that. It’s not even broken in at those hours.
Would strike me as very good value for that if it had sold.

The price of it in my eyes. Vat and fees on top of that? That would take it to just under 100k :scratchhead:

Anyone buying that would get vat back I’d imagine. 6k hrs on one of them is probably only 10% of its life if looked after. What would a new one cost? I don’t know but could be 170k?

10% might be pushing it!

 

[Cork]

Maybe the new ones aren’t as good but these machines are built to a different standard to a JCB loadall or a tractor. If well serviced it should be good to a long way towards 60k hours before an engine/transmission rebuild.
