looking for a large hp alpine, got a spare one?

[treedave]

Guys,

Have just found out that the tractor I've spent months waiting for, talking to the dealer about etc isn't gonna happen:crying:

The dealer was taking it in part ex and the buyer has decided to keep it and have two:confused1:

 

The long and the short is I'm after an equal wheel alpine, >75 hp, normal steering, usual stuff (bi-directional, ground speed / regular pto, 500/750 rpm etc etc)

Nice to haves:

Cab, hook ends on linkage, front linkage.

 

Any ideas on where to start looking again (have tried Riko, Mascus & agriaffaires)?

Would be less of a pain if I had not already been turning work away for the rigg on the basis of having it up and running by Xmas.

George Mclaren has one in his yard at the moment. 62hp Carraro. It's on his website on the used tractors page.

Cheers for the heads up, interestingly its on Rikos page as a 68hp unit for an extra 2K, same pictures and everything.

Looks like riko want to add a bit for their trouble of reproducing a few photos. £3k does seem a bit steep though - that's nearly solicitor rates. Maybe there's great demand for these machines down in the Hampshire Alps!

Hampshire alps! More like paddock grooming for ones pony, perhaps mowing the path from the big house to the lake.

I know the guys further south sell them to the wine trade, he and in France ( coals to Newcastle ?) but hey if it turns a coin why not!

The search continues

We were marketing it on behalf of the customer, clearly he has sold it to maclaren for less that what he told us he wanted for it.

Lucky I saw this, he hadnt told us it was sold!

No worries Jim. Callum sent me photos of it today. Still looking for a 80-90 hp unit. Looks like I might have to go abroad for it, don't you love it when it's simple.
