Lord Ferguson Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 ummm... I wonder if I could have got away with the 945 after all then - they told me to go even bigger than this - but I only use it for light work so I stuck with the smallest one they would let me have \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 you wouldnt have needed any bigger given its uses mark surely would prob be over the top for her then to be honest, only bigger bit you may need is a clam bucket to use the 3rd spool on it, make breaking into the pile easer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 so,does she have a distinctive snore,like the 6290,rem how they sound under load? i spoke to someone recently who mowed with one for 3 weeks ans said you could work steadily in a first cut with 10ft and swather going winding down to economy pto in 1 gear less but working all day long at low revs,but when the boat needs pushed out she could fight her corner and stand up against the big 6cylinders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 amazing he kept it qt apart from about 6 of us for so long aint it ben, he must have had a hell of a job doing that given his login pic hinted he wanted one it was a fair give away a tractor was on order how long till you order the 64 series then marky? im sure the 5480 will be great but a 6480 is so much stronger and you could do some land work with one, ploughing, harrowing etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I tried the 6480 Mike.... but it was just too big (and over specified) for what I wanted.... my local lads had a minter... 500 hours... full loaded and cheaper than Hattie... I do wish they'd do a 50k in the 5400's mind you... that's all I miss at the moment... They tell me that the 5480 is really a 6200 backend evidently... I'm not too hot on those myself... were they any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too hot on those myself... were they any good i drove a 6270 for 3 years, back ends ok but i did snap a cross shaft! that was due to the flail mower been to big, it needed to be on brackets really, other than that it was ok lift wise ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 I see... thanks Mike.... She lifts like a rocket ship... too fast really.. not sure if you can slow it down either \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I see... thanks Mike.... She lifts like a rocket ship... too fast really.. not sure if you can slow it down either \ on the right hand side in cab at back the 3 wee knobs, i think one of them should alter it.. Not 100% tho \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Nar.. that's the drop rate, draft/position and lift height I believe... I'll have to read the book and see - I guess it must be adjustable somehow... with it being 110ltr/min and load sensing it sees a command to raise as requiring maximum flow I believe... hence the rapid movement \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I go off for a few minutes and you have sold Frankie!!! She was born on my birthday you know! :'( Hattie looks superb though.
