SPN Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 That TSA looks gorgeous. Well you may wear. Pity about the green thing. What was wrong with the MF240 that you had to downgrade so dramatically? Someone upthread compared the Case MXU and the TSA. The TSA is made in Basildon. The MXU is what they call tractors that fail Quality Control in the Steyr factory in Austria. Someone also mentioned Fendt retaining their value. Only up to 7,000 hours. Most people trade them on after 5,000 hours. With New Holland (and Valtra) you can safely go to 10,000 hours. But isn't that TSA a joy to behold - and that's before we discuss the whistle from the exhaust with 20 tonnes up behind her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Very nice tractors you bought!!! I havent heard a bad word about the T6000 and T7000 series as of yet, and know quite a few contractors that have them for over a year now. The JD6400 is a smart move of a tractor that has proven itself with durability and quality, if you had to buy a JD, then this is the better choice of model to make, the newer 30-series are crap.(and that is not because i am a NH-fan, but because i know about 5 persons that have/had one and they are complaining a lot about malfunctions etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Looks like you've done well on two counts - the 6400s are really gutsy & tough little tractors and the NH - well, that goes without saying. Only had a PTO sensor replaced in my NH so far, so I'm sure the way you look after you kit, she'll go for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 the newer 30-series are crap.(and that is not because i am a NH-fan, but because i know about 5 persons that have/had one and they are complaining a lot about malfunctions etc.) nice to see some moredeere bashing I was missing some "new" comments...... More colour wars..... I think you'll find there are more people happy with the 30 series than not. That's why an Irish hire company ordered 115 this year.....

Any pictures inside the cab ofthe Deere Steve? sorry to say this jez but there are more 30 series going wrong in this area than there are all the other models put together (or so it appears) mainly daft electrical stuff and the new type fuel systems not liking the local fuel supplies stickers on the bonnet will smarten her up stephen, mine were £35 but are longer as mine is a 6pot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorten Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 the reason they have 115nis down to price. there ia alot of people around here not happy with johern deere, mainly the 20 and 30 series, very over rated always were in my opnion and VERY heavy on fuel!!

Look you the figures, the deere is on par or better than most when at work, I've played around with the computer on mine and pulling the plough i can vary the fuel usage by up to 15ltrs an hour just with the transmission settings alone!!! fuel useage is alot to do with the driver and the way he drives!!!

Mark is spot on about the Bord Na Mona - that is on price alone and of course will distort market figures and so make JD look very popular. If and when these come back on the market I bet there will not be a queue of farmers waiting for them off the bog like NH had. All we have to do is look at Gav's tractor to see how troublesome it has been or on BFF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
