    have a 93 90-90 DT, she is clean, tiny bits of rust here and there, tyres not good though, a dutch import she has a pickup hitch now, clock reads about 2800 hrs and is clocking away since I have it but would think that cant be right so maybe clock is gone around? Anyway just wondering what its worth roughly, was thinking 11 or 12k ish myself, any ideas?

    BTW: your front tyres are on backwards. This will mean that in soft ground, you will have poor grip. Also causes excessive tyre wear.

    If you swap the two front wheels they should be right. No need to be taking off tyres or anythin.

    A major tyre dealer/fitter in the North West used to have a plot of bog beside us in the 1980s. He used to draw the turf home with a Major and trailer. Every time he and his kids went to the bog for a load, we used to have to go to pull him out. He could not understand why he kept getting stuck. He was a bit insulted when we pointed out to him that he had one of the rear tyres on the wrong way around. Every time he took off with a bit of a load on the back of it in loose ground, it just spun. Wonder if he has fitted many tyres for customers the right way around. :)

    I think the reason why the front tyres are on back to front is so if the tractor gets stuck then it has good grip to to reverse out again. I know it sounds daft but i have done a couple of summers on farms in Holland digging spuds and thats the way they have the front tyres on the tractors driving the harvesters.

    Also meant to wear less if there is a lot of road use

    ya its funny you should say though, last year i tried to do a bit of rolling there when the ground wasnt up to it, anyway went down the hill grand but when i turned to come up she just dug in, I can remember thinking at the time that she should have kept going but forgot about it again, maybe the tyres on the wrong way around as you say didnt help

    They tyre will wear far more if its backwards, especially on a road. You'd be driving against the thread of they tyre and it wouldn't be gripping, rather, it would be spinning if it had the opportunity.

    Tractors with rear loaders like the Moffat often have their tyres facing backwards. This is to give them better grip when driving into something with the loader.

    Incorrect - If you look at the tyre when on the correct way the threads meet at a point in the middle facing forward. These will wear a lot quicker when tyre is on front way as opposed to back way for road use........

    Did you ever see a set of v tyres on a car that had been put on backwards. They wear at twice the rate of tyres the right way around. Putting them on backwards has a major effect on traction between the tyre and the tar. Breaking causes backward tyres to wear and damage excessively because they skid instead of gripping with the tar. Even turning with the tyres on backwards causes excessive wear because of the traction problems. If it were the case, wouldn't every tractor that's pulling a dump trailer on the building of roads and bypasses have the tyres turned. And they don't. Its just a myth......

    No u are incorrect, the high point of the rear facing lug is going to take all the stress the centre should, the centre where the lugs meet is much tougher due to the fact that it has more of a hard surface area

    With tyres like that id sy 8k would be more realistic

    Shes not a bad example of a '93 90-90 but if it only had 2800 hours on her she should be imacculate. Also if the clock was correct those tyres would probably be the originals and I doubt that. 17 year old tyre walls would be fairly perished by this stage.
    Don't get me wrong it looks a good machine. Maybe the clock cable was just broken and not replaced for a good while.
    BTW, the "dead man" switch on the front of the side panel is a good addition.
