Just thought i will show you guys my little dexta i have recently bought for my 17th birthday from Carmarthen Wales then trucked it up to Lancashire to her new home. Going to be restoring her in the next year or so but she will be a work/show horse
Just a great piece of British engineering

Not bad, especially the price
Here in Finland You have to pay at least £2400 of Dexta in that condition
Dexta -60
Dexta Special -64

Interesting!
Why so expensive? Are they wanted by collectors, or for work?
Are other types of tractor cheaper?

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
Or what do You think. Here's list of some Dextas on sale:
1 euro = £0,84

Thought i might upload some pictures of my dexta and what i have done with her.
New liners since the old ones where abit gone and covered in oil
Fitted some new seals to the dexta in the back end
And today i got my dexta built up again after adjusting the brakes. She is all ready for the Steam fair that is coming up in a few weeks, just need to fix this problem with the dash lights
