Where to look for tractors?

[Conor Wright]

Theres a galway based contractor with well over 20,000 hrs on a t130. Still going strong.
Cavan/Monaghan valtra with crane said to have 30,000 haven't seen it in the flesh mind.
Was on a job where a 16k hr t130 was running the chipper.. it still looked fresh considering the hours.

Guy over here is running a big Valta with 22k hours on it. He tows and powers a big Heizo with it.

All that's needed doing to it apart from services has been on alternator.

 

Pretty impressive.

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:

 

VALTRA/VALMET 6350 TRACTOR (ST5051) | RJ and KD McLean Ltd – Tractors and Plant

WWW.TRACTORSANDPLANT.COM

 

Andrew Wilkins Ltd

WWW.AWILKINSMACHINERY.CO.UK

 

I bought a digger from Andrew Wilkins a few years ago, not the cheapest dealer but I've never regretted buying from him ??

Still looking and sat on the fence waiting for something here as well. Paris tractors get some nice clean examples in

I’m amazed none of you lot have snapped up that new Holland crawler in Maclean’s. Fancy it myself for subsoiling but it would be the thing with a winch on the back!

Theres a Valtra 8000 with 5k hours on, £12k ish on the forest machine ops page on FB at the moment. Looks clean, never seen the woods apparently.

you should look around as much as u can and compare options costs, hours, condition, potential problems and all..
