Ebay & Cheffins usually not good, overpriced rubbish

[Dan Maynard]

Fair enough, as I said not been. I think it's the vintage sale which is more of a day out too.

I was in Cheffins last week, some good machines going through. I nicked a 58 plate transit for £450 plus buyers premium. The lad I went with was buying tractors for export. There was plenty of decent tractors going through that he thought were average money.

Thanks all. GIven me a few more places to check.  Yep, buying without seeing makes me nervous, but I think I'd rather get the right machine with that risk than the wrong machine local.

 

Valtra 6350 a good machine?  There are two for sale with loads of hours but for about the right price:

RJ&KD McLean list everything they have on Mascus I believe. However if they're local to you then they would be worth contacting.

People go there for a day out I've heard.

 

I wouldn't go there looking for a tractor unless you know absolutely what you are looking at, and the values of the machines you are looking at. Too easy to get your fingers burnt! I can't say I've seen many valtras there either, but obviously different every month.

Its not a bad day out though and you can get good buys on the implements and odds and sods bits- I got a big pile of barriers for not much more than I paid for 1 new one last time I went.

Look on Youtube and look at what some of the lads in Ireland say about hours on Valtra's

Not local at all unfortunately.  But tbh I'm not expecting to find what I need super local.

I think those lads in Ireland are saying good things, right?  This is all I came up with on a quick google...
