    I worked with a contractor who had a 01 ts115 sle (non turbo), after 8000hrs every part of it was completely worn out except the engine (would rate the engine as very reliable), the gearbox, dropbox and brakes gave alot of trouble, my advice would be get a sl model if you can I reckon they take more hardship and are simpler to repair (only my humble opinion!). Some people say the 100 and the 110 models are better tractors but im not sure why that is. Plus the same man had a 8340 and it was way more comfortable than the ts.

    i think the 8340 has a longer wheelbase, would probably make it smoother on road. only reason i was looking for sle is because my 7740 gets stuck in gear when you go from 3rd down to 2nd, you must go from 3rd to 4th to 2nd if you know what i mean. Had a 03 115 sl on trial last year, liked it a lot but thought it was a bit dead,it had no turbo. Garage was looking for 37k for it, it had 6000 hrs on it, told them they were mad

    Thats a fair price for a tractor that size and with 6000hrs, €20k + vat would be plenty I reckon. For 37k you would get a TM, the range command ones are lovely to operate but do give a few niggles, but the dual command but be great for a farmer. If your budget allows you should look for a TM or a clean 60 series, would be a stronger tractor than the TS.

    would agree with you but i want to put a loader on it and dont want to go too big with the tractor. looked at a couple of 115 tsa's and i thought they were a bit big. I also looked at the option of buying a small loader like a jcb 2cx but was'nt gone on them

    The 2cx are lovely nimble machine around a yard but the ground clearance is very low which would'nt suit going out to round feeders in the fields plus there a bit pricey for what you get.I know a man with a TM140 and a front loader and its not a awkward as you would think but you know best what suits your own setup. Hope you get something nice!
