    I had a look at a Renault Cergos 355 tractor with Mallieux loader yesterday in northern Ireland. Year 2000, 3400 hours, unreal tidy looking.
    Your man tells me, it has John Deere engine. 100hp.

    Anyone know anything about these? Good, bad, indifferent!!!

    I would be extra careful too, with the larger tractors as they tend to be well worked on UK tillage farms. The hours on the clock may not be genuine.

    I would say, that tractors off large UK tillage farms, tend to be well worked, but also well maintained. They have a good reputation for servicing and ongoing maintenance on those farms. Can't afford to be breaking down, with a few hundred acres of ploughing to be done.

    As for hours on the clock .............. they will be as genuine in UK as Ireland I would think.

    As for Renaaults, they seem to be getting more plentiful around my side of the country as second hand imports. Apart from that don't know anything about them.

    AFAIK only the Ares has the Gima back end. I think the Cergos has a Renault back end. I'm not very familiar with them, but I think they're the newer incarnation of the Ceres. The only dodgy thing I ever heard about in the Ceres was the Twinshft could be tempremental. JD engine should be spot on if it's been treated any way right.
