Thanks for the good wishes guys. There was a time when I wondered if I would ever find just what I wanted, now it is here I am very pleased with it.<br>
<br>
I don't have any experience with tractors so I am just going to take it very easy and treat it with lots of respect. I have been reading CTB for about a year and the help and encouragement has been fantastic. The archives was always a first stop for me if I had a question and then a post if I couldn't find what I wanted. I am sure that I will have plenty of questions in the future.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the help. it has been much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

Hi Tom

Took your advise and went to my local dealer - don't know why I didn't think of that myself. He rang Kubota and they said it is Feb 1991.

Thanks once again

Andy.

Hi Tom

I will make sure that the dealer checks that it is loaded and I intend to be waiting ready to supervise the unloading. I am trying to get a firm with a low loader so that the ramp isn't too steep.

Thanks for all your comments over the past few weeks.

Regards

Andy.

Thanks again for the info. I do have an embankment but I would have to do some measurements to make sure that it would be suitable.

I got in touch with an agricultural engineer who is going to have a look at the tractor for me. Although the dealer is probably trustworthy I will feel a lot better having someone look it over for me.

Regards

Andy.

Thanks for the info. I always like to know how things work.

I am steering towards the Massey as it seems to offer more for my money.

Even though the dealer who has these for sale is several hundred miles away there is a Massey dealer less than 50 miles from me. So there shouldn't be problems with parts or servicing. They also deal with Kubota but they seem to fetch more over here.

As an example of this the dealer who has some used ones in has a MF1220 with HST and 4 in 1 bucket with 700 hours and a Kubota B1750 with loader and cab with 1600 hours both for the same price. According to the dealer the Massey is in better condition.

Well the dealer got back to me with the hours of the B2150, 1583. He also said that the tractor has "seen some wear" and that the backhoe is very loose, the bonnet (hood) and lights have been hit by rocks from the FEL...I think I will give it a miss! Even thought the price is very low at �4,500 (US$6.750) I think I would be buying a lot of trouble.

Oh well, back to looking!

Hi Frank, thanks for your reply.

I did wonder if it was the terminology that was the problem and as I was on the 'phone possibly he didn't understand what I meant by "tooth bar". Hopefully he will be able to get the B2150 for me to look at then I will take some photos with me of what it is I mean.

I was sent a brochure of implements a few months ago but there were no toothbars and the nearest to a box scraper was a box blade and a rear chisel but not the two together, if you know what I mean.

The main thing I will need is a toothbar. I, like you, am surprised that the dealer didn't know what I was talking about. I was hoping that a supplier of them might read my post and be able to let me know who in the UK they supply.

Thanks again for your reply.

Hi everyone<br><br><br>I am looking for a used compact tractor here in the UK. I have had a go on a B2150 HST and I thought it would be ideal but it had already been sold.<br><br><br>I have spoken to another dealer and he mentioned that he will be getting in a B8200 with hydrostatic and a FEL in a few weeks. I didn't ask for any other details as I don't know anything about this model and I wanted to check it out first.<br><br><br>The criteria I have are:<br>1. Hydrostatic transmission.<br>2. 4 wheel drive.<br>3. Min 20 HP.<br>4. FEL.<br>5. Power steering.<br><br><br>Can anyone tell me if the B8200 is any good or one to avoid, also what is the spec?<br><br><br>Thanks in advance<br><br><br>Regards<br><br><br>Andrew.

Thanks for the responses everyone, it has certainly given me something to think about.
<br>
The main reason for getting a backhoe would be for landscaping as I don't think that a FEL would be able to dig down, for a pond and other features. I realise that it is an expensive attachment but my plan is to buy a used tractor (4WD) and try to get one with all the attachmnets rather than buying them later as I think this is the cheaper option.
<br>
You have made me have second thoughts about the backhoe, I feel that I would make good use of it but would it justify the cost. How versatile is the FEL for landscaping?
<br>
I intend having a look at some of the dealers in the area to see what they have in used. I don't intend to rush in to this as I want this purchase to last a very long time.
<br>
Thanks again for all your comments, I'm sure I will be back with more questions when I have been to the dealers.
