Cocky Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 They are an unreal tractor mate ............ my dad has three of them and 6290 great tractor ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If your not use to the Dyna transmission, especially Dyna 6 it will take a bit of getting used too. Dyna 6 is quite common for being jumpy when starting off, but you'll get the hang of it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I noticed it was jumpy compaired with my old deere but thought it was cos it was cold .. only used it to move a couple of trailers about in my way but got .150 acres of stock feed carrots to lift as soon as it drys up and then we start drilling the carrots. got busy 4 days we buyin the bales in to cover the carrots and parsnips and there is 800 quadrant bales coming in next 3 days .."hell" mind you its so fast to unload them the drivers cant belive it, We have a twin bale spike for the 20 ton 360 excavator and it take about 10 min to unload a truck and drag ..

JC Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm not an owner or driver of one but a good friend of mine has one and loves it, he's demo'd a few possible replacements and (I hate to say this) he has so far concluded a fendt would be a better tractor for him having tried several other machines including the Axion and 30 series deere...
