Interesting!

Why so expensive? Are they wanted by collectors, or for work?

Are other types of tractor cheaper? :wink:

Dexta is very popular for small jobs f.e. clearing snow. Its small sized and very handy in small gardens.

But the pricing has got out of the hand anyway, I think :roll:

Or what do You think. Here's list of some Dextas on sale:

1 euro = £0,84

Dexta Special -64
