Tractors and equipment don't attract duty and no age limit like in the case of other vehicles.
They do not even go through Jevic inspection.

Eg from UK, a medium size tractor is less than £1500 (ksh180k) to ship either container or RoRo.... although the height/width have to be measured to determine the cost of Freight.
So it usually cost of tractor plus delivery to port and shipping.

As for make - Massey F, Ford, New holland, J Deere, Case, Fiat... or whatever make will do fine, as the importer/exporter is always able to source the parts and accessories/attachments for the same tractors.

Check this link.....


http://www.dumelow.co.uk/

The fellow deals with reconditioned tractors.....quite good quality.

No age limit...some were made in the 70's but still very good.

Tractors dont break down...aka age...they only wear and tear......Massey ferguson parts are quite readily available....i recommend you get a massey ferguson....re-sale value is also good....it is the toyota for tractors...

@jk mwatha et all...any idea of another good dealer apart from the above??

What about a shipping agent??

@Mwatha,
Very useful link and thanks.....You could be having a rough estimate for shipping to Mombasa say for an MF 385 or JD 3080?

@Wazua,
why not move this thread to "Market-Wanted"?

the MF385 may cost £1300 [ksh165k] plus factor in delivery to the docks - may be £250 (depending on distance).... unless free delivery is indicated.

John Deere 3080 would cost more due to height (Enclosed Cab).

Rusted? old?

@mjuaji - I think you got up too early. Otherwise your PC monitor needs cleaning.

Agriaffaires is one of the most comprehensive websites
RE:agricultural affairs/ used farming equipment. You will even get nearly new 2010 tractors.
There's more than 20,000 tractors listed.

Auction houses may not be very useful unless you can attend them.
eg http://www.cheffins.co.uk/machinery/

Is there a healthy market for tractors in Kenya? There are a lot of used tractors on the market here in the Cleveland area. How much would a tractor fetch?
