bluegreen Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 After having a Fendt on the sprayer last year with rowcrops I was able to fit them on one of my new JD6210R models this year. Firstly I had to respray the wheels from red to yellow and then with the help of a few bushes I was able to make it all work. The 6210 sits taller than the previous wiking JD so the wheels are a comfortable fit and not stuck jammed against the wheelarch I just need to switch the bonnet over with a 6210 Siku version to get better lights but waiting to see if siku will make a 6190/6170 special edition to swap with instead. Im glad I bought a couple of toolboxes from Agrium before he packed up as they definitely add character to the JD and the NH T7.250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 nice work as allways phil,what happened to the fendt then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 The 828 only got the gig last year because the tyres don't fit onto my JD 7530, or at least if they do they wont turn Ive still got the 828 but its got the big rear wheels of the 936 trellie on it now and is on a big muck cart, the 936,820 were traded in for a JD6R and a Challenger And the two MFs gone for two new NH T7s and the reason for that is although I like the realsize MFs at least as much as NHs the small UH models are just not as good on a diorama as the ROS NH models. These IMO are more accurate with much better turning circle and the choice of an A frame or front weights and I love the new NH logo on the bonnet which allows for more blue bonnet to be seen, really smart Also Im very influenced by what I see working everyday out in the countryside, it kind of reinforces the choices ive made or will make. And sadly even though the MF dealer is 10 miles away they haven't sold one 7600 that I know of, even one year after its introduction. And yet strangely the yards always got ten or more in it and the stock changes regularly??? I reckon they all head towards Wisbech on the Lincs border Locally weve got a lot of new JD6R,7R and 8Rs, Lots of new NH T6s,T7.185,200,210 and a few 250,260,270s and frankly no other make Fendt included has got a sniff!!

Paul Palmer Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 some nice choices phil,where i work the oldest fendt 818 is being traded in for a new holland t7.200,pictures when it turns up,a week overdue at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 That doesn't sound like 4 like Paul? 818 is 180hp and T7.200 is 155hp, maybe a 7.210 with all that extra boost would be better. One of our locals who changes all his tractors every two years recently replaced his two Fendts 930, 826 with 939, 720 but also bought two NHs a Blue power 7.270 and a union jack 7.210 so it appears NH are improving. or Fendt aren't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 its purely down to cost, fendt with the same spec as the new holland is £30,000 dearer,yes thats not a typo,£30,000,unreal,wether all the other fendts will be replaced by new hollands,not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 just looked on new hollands website the t 7.200 is about 200 max,i think your quoting kw phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The 200hp is on boost so not available all the time. Bit misleading really as the tractor isnt actually 200hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yes that's right JD6910 its the boost factor that's confusing, although Ive mastered it now It really is like one big JD & NH demo going on in my neck of woods at present and just to reinforce my point about being influenced to buy only what I see, tonight coming home I saw several JD 8R/RTs plus a few 7Rs and 6Rs, also new NHs which are partly on hire from CFS which basically means every powershift model from the T6.155 upto the T7.260 are now working around Ely for the next 6 months and to cap it off I saw my first Challenger 765D heading out of the village which presumeably had just been on demo as weve lots of 765Cs around the place.......................and one of the locals is still running round in a Fendt 828 so that's why my carpet fleet are what they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
