Alpine tractor - which make ?

[Mr. Ed]

Oh that’s interesting about prices coming down, despite the inflaytion. Scorchio.  Sounds like a good time to be buying.

Facebook marketplace is full of fairly fresh diggers. For sale 'due to change in business direction'

 

It'll accelerate greatly after Christmas when the shit really hits the fan.

I bought a 1.5 tonner earlier in the year, one thing I discovered is a good proportion of the newer machines advertised at sensible prices on Facebook are scams, Impossible to view and the seller is only interested in taking a small deposit to hold it for you and can't answer any other questions or actually arrange a viewing. Not to say your observation isn't also true that's just what I found back in the summer time

[Mr. Ed]

And as I’m sure you all know lots of tempting  eBay ads for wee tractors like Alpines and are also scams - borrowed photos and locations in places like Derry or Aberdeen.

Yup, I’m well aware of that. I’m talking mainly about adverts posted in groups.

Hi, im new here. It looks like there is more info here on alpine tractors rthan anywhere else, so here i am!

 

Ive just aquired an AC Tigrone 7700, thats been out of use for a few years. It runs fine, but everything that moves is seized or stiff, so some work to do.

 

Having never owned a tractor before, i though id get a user manual so at least id know the basics of what each control does.

 

However, whilst i have got a 22 series manual that purports to cover it, the 2 issues are, it doesnt in a lot of respects, and its italian! And i cant copy from it to translate as its a PDF.

 

So i guess the question is, where do i get a user manual thats actually for this machine. And in english.

 

Any suggestions?

Kirkland UK. They are the main importers for AC and incredibly helpful, parts for my 4400 were not silly money either and readily available. They emailed me over a manual and parts manual for it. 
 

Ask for Michael, he’s a great guy to deal with.

Is there a specific section you need translated? If you stick up a screenshot

Thanks. Im away at the moment, but might be better with a pic of all the levers that i have no idea what they do! Not all of them appear in the manual hence my questions about the manual actually being correct for my machine. They are all original though.
