Great tractors, Brian!

Are these all the tractors you bought at the sale?

Which one do you prefer? I guess the 4000?
I like the County: that's really something special over here.

I also like the County and the 4000-4. They were too much money for both me and the buyers so they waited until the next sale.

How much money should one offer for the County?
Are they quite rare in the UK too? I have never seen one over here.

They were used mainly for industrial applications, Originally they had a nicer looking cab.

Price would depend on the condition, if its been on a fertilizer spreader, the cab would be rotted away. You might pick one up for around £3000.00. One like this, a later version would probably cost you £8000.00. Shall I check if its still for sale?

I would love to have a County, but I guess I would like a 1124 better.

Don't forget it is an 1124 and they normally have all the hydraulics fitted. You are a long way forward from the plough though with that engine behind you.
