not trying to dissapoint you but there not a great tractor, a pile of sh2t to be exact,

the newer ones are ment to have improved a bit but i doubt too much, and eci are a pain in the chest sending out wrong parts that im convinced, they make up that dont actually fit anything, and they do this just to chatgre you 24.50 incl postage and packing for a washer you didnt order and bears no resemblence to what you did actually order,

i know i was in conatys one evening and the language that was being used on eci would make one sick, so i stay away from fast tracks,

a neighbour of mine had one up until last year and he offloaded it with a mc cauley dump trailer ,one was as bad as the other ,but it looked amore attractive buy for the money he was looking,
my opinion he was very luck to get rid of either.

try this www.mascus.com you might find what your looking for there

what tractor would u recomend ???that u have experience with with as much much spec as possable

emaherx

This one looks fairly well spec'd.:D

Seriously though what are you looking for? Is it just a fast tractor? Plenty of other tractors have 40-50K boxes. In Any brand that you like.

I see from some of your photos that your a Case Man so how about a Case IH 135MX.
or its Mcormick Cousin MTX 135.

ECI are a disaster it has to be said. Have no experience with fastracs but have used JCB teleporters for a good few years now and while the machine is generally very good ECI would break your heart!

You don't really know what you want do you???

One day you're looking for a JCB, the next its a Case.

There are loads of threads back there that have recommendations and reviews on tractors. Also a lot of info about tractor prices.

Its soon time you bought a tractor. You have been asking questions here about buying one for the last 6 months

it's best not rush these decisions, a bit like getting married, get it right first time, works out a lot cheaper in the long run.

You'll buy a Mark 2 or Mark 3 Deutz Agrotron for sensible enough money and most of them are 50km/h with cab and front axle suspension.

i worked in deutz fahr garrage last year for a bit could what years are the mk 2 or 3 's what sort money u talking whats the difference with both em ..there was a 08 hurliman 165.7 in garrage last year full spec was a lovely machine with alovely price tag aswell ..i want something cheepish late 90's tractors have come down a little in price

biblio

What about an 8340 ? They're fairly quick (40k+!) and not huge money

Just an idea....

Casinoking

A Mark 2 Agrotron would be from about 96-99, a 120, 135, 150 something like that. Mark 3's are generally from 99-04. You'll buy a Mark 2 150 for around €20k-€23k or a Mark 3 135 for €25k-€28k. Good value for money at that.

what make we talkin new holland ?????

bk1991

1996 jcb 1135 with 7000-8000 hrs for 11k what ye think

Casinoking

I think you should gather the 11 grand into a big pile of 20 euro notes and put a match to it. On the other hand, if you have another 11 to spend on the tractor when you get it home you might be alright. A notorious machine for giving all sorts of trouble.

ur right ..this is my first tractor i am only 18 so wana make it a good descission not buy and end up that is a bolx any advice welcome

basicaly i want something 120-140 hp in the mid late 90's thats 40-50k and reliable

powerfarmer

Maybe a New Holland TM120 Classic ? a straightforward tractor , very little electronic gizmos, only 40k box but simple and seem reliable there are loads of them around here for drawing silage and spreading slurry

masse5455

i bought a brand new 07 5455 massey when i was 18 still paying it off good tractor do a lot a bailing and contracting and my own farm work with it. ah id go for a mx 150case r a john deere6910 dont go near them fastracs there a finiky yoke what work ya going at with it when ya buy

vincenzolorenzo

A JD 6910 is a great tractor, ticks all your boxes but you'll have to find a bigger budget to buy one unfortunately. Going back a bit further in years a JD 3650 would be a good tractor either

A couple of the Claas dealers in the North have 02/03 Renaults with 130-150 hp for around Stg£20K + VAT. These are serious machines for the money.

fig mclough

john deere 6600 or 6610 would be my choice, look at the northern dearlers! also agree whit powerfarmer tm120 are a nice machine!!

With big Renaults you get a lot of tractor for the money,and they are a nice tractor to use but having worked in a Renault dealers a few years back the parts backup and availabilty from the Renault importers at the time was poor , and to make things worse , you could have two of the exact same model in the yard with slightly different engines, cabs , front axles and ancillary components which complicated the parts situation even more. Hope Claas has since sorted that out

I agree with you there. In the Renault days, lead times were unpredictable and prices were high. Luckily the old MX we had rarely needed anything. Now, I find that most stuff arrives within a day or 2, unless it's something odd like a door, which could take up to a week. In fariness, the dealers around are good and tend to keep a stock of most things you'd be likely to need.
Oddly enough, one dealer always asks for the serial number of the tractor, but can never find it on their system. MAybe this is because it's a UK import or something.

The Renault parts information used to be looked up on microfiche which was confusing given all the variations , there was also a software system called metadoc (i think) which had to have the tractor serial number before it would do anything.
