Newbie to this forum. In the process of moving into farming, and taking over from my Pops (willbe done over a 5 yr period). Looking for a MF 7495 or 7497 (7499 would be looked at too but first choice is the 7497).
I’m based in Leinster, Ireland, and 7495/7497/7499 are hard to find. Looking in the the South and N Irl but not UK as it’s too messy to import across for what I’m looking for post Brexit.
Have found a 2008 7495 with 10,750 hrs on it in the North. The tractor appears to be in excellent order and everything sounds and runs as it should. The dealer bought it off a local farmer but doesn’t know the full history - what’s been replaced/repaired etc.
Is almost 11k hours on a 2008 7495 too much? I would be doing 350-450hrs a year on it mowing/baling/drawing hay & silage: hedge cutting. Goes without saying that price will be a factor. All thoughts/tips appreciated
