Very impressive heavyweight all-rounder, perfect for the Netherlands, which among other things is almost entirely flat and obsessively well-drained. Not so sure how it would fare in the rugged mountainous terrain of say Switzerland. Or Norfolk. Still, plenty of attachment points for a self-recovery winch.

Yup, there's one 6' away as I type, in our caravan/office. Been used and abused for decades, kept us going in a different static caravan for 2 dire winters while we built our house, before that it did the same job for a friend on 2 self-builds, before that it was in a leaky barn for God knows how long, etc.....burns anything, keeps in overnight perfectly, pumps out plenty of heat, tough little bugger.

If you're looking for real renewables madness, how about mulching a few hundred acres of perfectly sound young spruce for yet another windfarm?

1050HP eh? That's Bandit for you, always underpowered...;-)

Well, the mildly lifted Disco it is, should have it Monday after the failed replacement headlining has been glued back on LOL. So having bought a cheapie wagon I am now going to blow some money on a spanking new Border Reiver recurve bow, before the first major repair bill comes on. And the 110 owner has decided to keep it, so a result all round. For now at least.

Hmm, good point, do they tend to take a dim view?

If you own an elbow on your right arm its a no brainer, disco all the way, subject to mechanical and rot caveats All feels tight, traceable local service paper, always waxoyled etc. New rear floor from leaky alpine window, tin otherwise solid everywhere. Raised 1" but stiffer New springs. And yes, wouldn't look forward to family visits to Gloucestershire in the 110 drivers seat. Tom, thanks for offering to strain my already aching wee brain with a 3rd choice but I'll pass for now. Btw, any news on doing the Ash survey I mailed you about?
-
That is definitely the view of Herself. Plus the 110 is very tidy indeed, while I am not. And I've plenty of other things to spend the difference on. But it is a beautiful thing. Ironic that I've been looking all over and they're both within 3 miles.

Looks like I will shortly own my first LR, but I'm not sure yet what flavour. Was looking to find a cheap farm hack to replace a test fail Trooper when I was offered an immaculate 2000 110 County on 19k miles for a very good price. Then owner had 2nd thoughts about selling and pointed me to a 97 Disco van on 80k that he'd sold on to a local enthusiast fitter, it's also near spotless and obv much cheaper, then I'm told that the 110 definitely has to go! Disco is what I was actually looking for, Defender is a lovely bit of kit , buying both is not really an option....Decisions, decisions.
-
Well it isn't a tractor, but it's about the same price as a top end side by side. And we taxpayers probably paid 50k+ a pop for them, so it's all relative. I read on ARSSE that these fellas cost about 75k new: *BRAND NEW* SPRINGER ATV Military Vehicle (NEAREST TO OFFER PRICE CONSIDERED) | eBay Mad, mad world.

Very nice Tom. Query to all: Immaculate 2000 110 SW, full history, 1 careful enthusiast owner, long roofrack, steering guard, cloth seats, tipping bullbar, chassis &c as new, sub 20k miles. What's it worth?
-
Well, if I was resident in France, I'd be looking at small used alpines rather than new Kubotas. Loads of Carraros, Pasqualis &c on LeBonCoin and the like.

Heh, the yard is full of them, parts of them, skeletons of them, etc. There was a S2 on the shed roof a while back. On a more detailed look it isn't the Farmi 306 dammit, with luck there'll be a stamped plate somewhere.

Best 3 point linkage crane?

Nice setup. Farma mounted on Farmer driven by farmer? -
They will all lift way over what they are designed to lift which is around half a ton. My little S20 can manage 500kg with a 50kg lump on the rear linkage. Though not when pointed downhill, I suspect....
