Are you sure about that?
Is it pounds or have you converted to euro?

Was punts and they had it interest free over three years. Traded in a fiat 90-90 which gave serious problems and was sick of it. the 90-90 spend more time in the workshop than working. It was bought second hand off Maurice Kelly in Borris. Only made 4k punts when traded due to problems with it. Was a 1986 tractor.
 
In 1994, 100-90 cost £24,500 (Irish pounds) €31,115.
1995, 110-90, cost £28,500 (Irish pounds)
€36,195. All including vat, which was 21%.

They were a good tractor, cheaper than a Deutz, Valmet or John Deere, which our budget couldn’t stretch to at the time.
We were lucky to be able to buy them at the time, it was a big step up from MF 290’s.
Lots of interest in them now as classics, I can see why, though I wouldn’t have any interest in buying one.
 
The 100-90 finished in 1988.The 110-90 finished in 2004. I think the white roof suggests the ''120'' is a lot older than stated too...
 
Suppose the 8560/M160 would have replaced the 160-90 but you'd have to go to the 70 series or the TM190 to replace a 180-90...
 
I remember something like that in Wilson's auctions about 3 years ago (I think) it was a Chinese copy .. 120-90... So you could imagine there'd be difficulty getting parts for such a yoke

Our local mechanic had one of those Chinese Fiat lookalikes for sale probably 15 years ago . . DFH ? 4 cylinder 80 odd hp . It had a newish Rossmore loader fitted and probably 3000 odd hours up . Back end looked fairly Fiat like to me
But engine was Chinese . It sounded sweet enough. And all castings looked rusty . He could have had it for sale/ out on loan for guts of 2 years before he sold it .

Anyway , it was back in his yard for sale about 2 years ago , traded back , and for sale again . It looked to have been a hard, very hard 10 or 12 years .I asked him how much ? Make me an offer ,any offer that's a bit more than the loader is worth . It was gone in a couple of weeks .
 
the Fiat prices will pass out the Fendt before long more ,am I right in thinking that tractor prices In Uk are dearer than Ireland
