Lol yeah I keep a casual eye on the market just in case a cheap one pops up. That £200 C125 I got last week works perfectly, just needed a little bit of attention. None of mine look great, but will get that sorted out over time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will try one last day of looking sad that I don't own it then will have to give up for a few weeks - besides I still need to buy a sweeper from Denmark that Skipper has. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,526 #17 Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Ok, spent a small advice, pick a gift from her wishlist and spend it, to her so you get one more excuse free.. 😎😂 just take care, that both things arrived at same Day or her gift faster than you‘s. Than you ice gets quick thicker again.. Edited August 11, 2020 by Tractorhead 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Than you ice gets quick thicker again.. I just showed her this for a laugh, your a dead man! Brilliant advice though! Marie is very good at letting me get what I want, but I have to work for it. One of my favourite tricks is to leave things I want in the Amazon/eBay basket. She goes to buy herself something and just clicks "pay now" without realising it is a trap I have managed to get loads of things I'm not allowed by doing this, and it's not technically my fault as I didn't buy it.... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan.gerous 2,696 #19 Posted August 11, 2020 I just got permission to buy it! Hopefully it's available and the guy doesn't mind holding it for two weeks - I am back at work tomorrow unfortunately. Will let you know if I get the deal done or not.... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan.gerous 2,696 #20 Posted August 11, 2020 It's mine 😁 Added a couple of extra photos. Guy is happy to hold it until I get back home on the 26th, then it's only a 5 hour round trip to go and collect it - practically the end of my driveway! 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got offered the newer one, but decided its best to turn it down while I am still ahead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,403 #24 Posted August 11, 2020 That appears to to be a 98 or later xi. Looks to be fair shape so maybe even a '03 or 04' A beast unto itself but you got the better tractor for all around farm use farm use. Xi's are very attachment specific whereas the 416 attachments are pretty much universal to all the 3,4 &500's. In fact some of the implements you may already have might fit her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s a nice rig and would likely work circles around your others... but as Jim mentioned, a world of it’s own as far as attachments go. Ask @PeacemakerJack what he thinks of the Xi series his wife has! Congrats on the 50th Anniversary edition! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
