BigX500 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Can not compare the 7480 to the 6290 just in a different league first impression on the 7480 are execellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 superb pics..and i agree about the 6290,a neighbour here still uses his as the main workhorse and i still enjoy listening to her working hard......as you say you couldnt compare the 6290 with 7480 but another neighbour here uses a 7480 and a 7495 and speaking to a driver of the 7480 he says he has never been able to put the tractor under pressure,he says the engines torque is 2nd to none and the tractors ability to work under load after he has pulled the revs down never ceases to amaze him.

Fenside MF Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Great photos of my favorite make. Could anyone tell me why some 6290's have an excel badge on the roof between the front mounted roof worklights? I have also seen an excel badged 8220 and I have no idea why some mid sized mf's from this era have it and some not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 What I meant when I said the 6485 isnt as good was that the 6290 is much more of a drivers tractor and I prefer the gearbox in it to the dyna 6 in the 6485. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigX500 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Not 100% sure but I think the excel come with extra standard like the autodrive and datatronic extra lights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masseyjack590 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 nice pictures the 6290's were great tractors we had one for 8 or 9 years then changed it for a 6480 2 years ago and that is much better to drive and it pulls much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 the local 6290 here is an excel model,the sticker on the cab defines this,apparently there was no less than 12 extras on these models,from extra hydraulic standard fitments to general extras that would have been options on the standard model,in other words all the bells and whistles....

Lord Ferguson Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 they were indeed.. made for MF by Uzel who are sadly are no longer trading I believe... although I think the factory was sold and tractors are now manufactured under a different name.. in competition with MF too Uzel made many MF's including the 240(with an S on the end)... and many more besides... they also made some 'Ba stard' models with some very strange looks... 200 series models with 300 series style cabs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
