Nash get the cheque book out...again

Hi @nashmach only seeing this now. Problem with buying something close to home is everyone else is looking for similar so it might be better to look in the UK (as Sterling is weak at the moment) or even France if you could get @Sheebadog to keep an eye out.

I have not really been looking at used tractors since I got fixed up but here are a few that caught my eye but you might need to haggle on price. Not sure if your budget was including or plus VAT

that TS110 at HRN is a f***ing peach. If genuine.
 
Ah i get ya. It's horses for courses I suppose. With me not being on the outfarm all of the time, I need to ensure that it's safe for whoever is doing the work - be it me or anyone else. Something reliable with first turn start is also vital. Added in that I could get some extra benefit from the right tractor on the home farm, and I think it would be a good investment. Couple that with the added benefits of putting depreciation against tax and it makes it a bit more justifiable in my circumstances.

But as you point out, what suits me doesn't necessarily suit you.

I have been eyeing TSA's for a while now. You're talking €25k to €30k depending on spec, hours and condition. The equivalent Case is a good bit less but scarce enough. T6010's aren't too plentiful either. But for the spec that they are, they aren't over priced. I see a very low houred one in a dealer in the north that would come in at €34k delivered.

Drove a T6010 Plus for 2 days about 8 years ago, absolutely loved it. Animal of a tractor to pull a load of grain.

May have been because it was Plus spec and ex ag college though...

Highly unlikely Id say

What would its main dutys be nash.

Youd hardly get away with a 2 wd

That must have gotten edited out as I see my idea of keeping this low key has been blown off course...

Basically a sub for the 9880 and taking the heavier work from the 3600

So:
Spreading fertiliser with a 1.25t spreader
Spraying possibly with a 1000lt sprayer in time. 600l for now
Drilling with a MF30
Hauling with a 10t trailer
Ring rolling
A bit of harrowing with 10ft harrows of various descriptions
Potentially ploughing but not fussed on that!

A 2wd would do a lot of that work nicely.

Big tractors are grand but threading lightly on the land is good.
 
Everyone farming I know is VAT registered,why wouldn’t you be?

In Ireland in the South very few farmers would be VAT registered. You can claim the VAT back on a new shed or fencing but not on machinery, but you can put it in as an expense and reduce you income tax bill. Depending on your income and the amount of tax you pay if you work of farm you might be better of paying the VAT

Sorry explain the logic where you are better off paying the VAT as a high earner?
