question No more crystals to be bought?

[diyfarmer]

I visited 3 main Zetors dealers in Ireland today, dotted on the left side of Ireland, and I couldn't find one more Crystal (8111 type) to buy. I had my eye on another 8045 for the last few weeks and told the garage owner I would buy it in January. So today I went to see it, and he has exported it.

So one place has nothing at all, and the second has only a real old one 1975 or one that's has a very steep price tag, well above my budget for a 8011. After the 1000's upon 1000's of 8111- 12145 that were bought in Ireland in the early 90's, they have all disappeared.

And from privat peoples? Like a famer eg? I think not every sells old tractors via a dealer so ...
Here at Germany most sells old machinery over Ebay and similar sites.

Big Crystals and similar Ursus' were quite familiar at big swamps here. They were nearly all exported to Poland. Also not much used spares available any more in Finland, scrappers have exported the tractors and parts and they still buy Zetors for export. UR1 is more common but they've become more rare also.
You can find 1-3 Crystals per month for sale in the net, and maybe 10 Zetors overall.
