First Forestry Tractor

[Marula]

Some skill those lads have, very nice pieces.

[Stephen Blair]

Yes they have an amazing talent! Thanks

Had a bit of a look around but still unsure of what’d be best. Totally agree with Mr Git on size wise..

Ideally would like to spend about 10-15k on the tractor then get a new botex 560 roof mounted crane (20kish)

If anyone has some time to help me source a tractor then obvs I’d be willing to pay for your time

Many thanks

Jonny

You could try David Evans at DEAL agriculture, he sells valtras and jake cranes.

Just don't ask for new prices - it's scary

I'm trying to source a tractor for a different project and it's a minefeild good luck thefarmingforum are incredibly helpful and patient with people like me who nothing about tractors. Tractors aren't cheap scarily so! I'm look at 20-30+ year old machines! With half your budget and they are out there but a solid workhorse a money pit who knows!

Hopefully going to go have a look at this...

Do not just look give it a good test drive, if possible hitch it up to something heavy to give it a good test.

Some one has spent a lot of time on this one, looks tidy but the proof is in the trying, bottom end of the hp I'd say but a heavy stable tractor that can be tweaked up a bit if needed.
