utb/universal; made in Brasov,Romania in 1985. amount made unknown. cost new $20,000 64 hp weight 5,000 lbs seems skimpy. If it were me i would not pay more than scrap price for it but only if it runs with no smoke or blowby. Whats the asking price. Cheyenne

I had one years ago, 640DT.  Ours was the first one in Taranaki (our province in NZ).  After about a year, the Romanians came out and borrowed it to test on the dyno at the local dealer--- 72 pto HP, someone had goofed in the factory.  The parts are old Fiat compatible and available from a lot of wreckers.  It was strong, started and ran well, the rear hydraulic linkage was not particularly fast or accurate but otherwise , for the price, it was a good machine.  I would get another one now if I could get a good price, with a CA loader with down pressure, I would expect to pay about $7500 to $8000.

Hope this helps.
