ok so saw the Dexta today. Phone died so couldn't get a video or more photos. Hydraulic lift was ok moved smoothly and held in the raised position with a large rear bucket on it, don't know if that would have been heavy enough to present lift problems. It has the Minimec fitted to it. Double clutch,...

Prices are probably going up because of noobs like me willing to pay. I am more drawn to the Dexta and it's closer for viewing anyway. The more I look at it the more enamoured I am with it. Got to a point in my head where I am willing to take a punt before seeing it :D, I think the only thing that w...

Cheers for the info sandy. Will take a look this Saturday, abit off topic but the other option I see for a similar price range although would take a 6 hour round trip would be this Ford 2000 https://scontent-cdt1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t45.5328-4/321995568_5846448935450776_8832101978410095809_n.jpg?stp=ds...

I see what you mean Old Hywel. Standard Dexta has them pointing inwards and this has them pointing outward above the front axle.

thanks for the replies. It is good to know there is the option making it wider.

I will try getting the price knocked down if possible if it looks like it runs ...

i do wonder what the drawbacks of having a narrow version? potential cons: less stable doesn't have quite as nice a stance visually as a wider one potential pros: easier to store (i have a relatively small attached barn) but there must be other factors to consider with a narrow tractor (I don't have...

Yes I was hoping to get a standard version. But would not be put off completely by a narrow version. And yes I meant to write MF35 not 30. I have been looking for an MF35 but a lot of 30's coming up. or 835's which are apparently the french version of 35's (with less parts availability apparently). ...

first thing that jumps out is that it looks like a narrow vineyard version? could be wrong, there is not much on line about the 'special' version put together in Germany.

Hello all, I am new to the forum but have been lurking for a few days :) I live in France with my wife and twin 2 year old boys. Our house sits on 5 acres of rough but fairly flat land and have been looking at getting an old tractor to do some topping and some shifting of loads around. It will be pa...
