£150 grand plus for that if it's the 400hp one

They have low down torque which is what they need can be on full revs at less than 1mph
Great at pulling cultivators but they are really lovely to pull a load with they don't feel like they are the boss of a load like a unit does

Ours does about 4.5 to the gallon. Plan on getting the next one with an auto transmission should help with the fuel economy, Volvo in Glasgow recon that was the last manual tractor unit they sold, can’t get them no more all I-shift with crawler gears now.
