4WD tractor wanted

[Goaty]

Its a good time to buy a second hand tractor as there is no export with the strong pound so you stand a good chance of getting good value for money. My advice is twofold. Firstly, don't get your mind set on a particular make or model just decide what spec you need and what you're budget is, all machines whatever colour break down. secondly, I would suggest that rather than going for a "compact" machine which will carry a premium just go for the smallest model in a range because its likely to have the same driveline as its bigger brothers and will therefore be slightly over-engineered, this is where you need to do a little google research.

hope this helps

Hi we have a Kubota L3250 4wd ,easy to manover as its just 5 foot wide,i think its 42hp, pulls well, runs on next to nothing i.e 3 days powering a 4.2 tonne winch £12 of diesel,we all so use a 2 tonne forwarding trailer behind it again 5 foot wide which allows us to manover about in tight spaces,very capable little tractor and well worth thinking about but they demand high prices thats if you can find ONE took me best part of 5 monthes to find ours. hope this helps.

depending on budget, and I can only presume ground conditions, is it slippery clay in Sussex?

consider tyres, and find out what new replacments will cost.=gulp!

since even 4wd is wasted on done tyres.
