Ah. There's a spin-off from this in that there's some REAL sh*t on the market as all sorts of pieces of abandoned lumps of metal are pulled from the weeds and backs of barns and labelled 'restoration projects' when they are only fit for the scrap pile!

I've just watched an identical medium sized tractor exactly the same age as mine but with some 3000 more hours and a dodgy gear-box go for more than I'd ever expected. Still, that means there's loads of life left in mine yet!

I just got a good deal today an old dexta with a poorly engine , for £100 now all I need is a big v8 to slot in or perhaps something more sensible

Some of the smaller tractors are cheap now , because you can buy some of the jap tractors so cheaply

All the cheap end stuff started getting exported abroad to the likes of Romania etc drove prices up.

Bit like scrap, cheap cars being exported abroad to be broken up for spares has raised car prices. Tractors have now followed suit.
