Pingu Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 a local contractor always used to change 7 of his tractors at the same time (every 3 years) 5 were always all the same but 2 were 4wd and 3 were 2wd for carting, power harrowing etc. they were always masseys, 3095's then 6170's and lastly 6270's (i drive one of the 4wd 6270's now) then he changed his fleet policy, bigger tractors and gone from around 14 to just 5 all 4wd and a 2wd 6270 run about, they are still mf except the large fendt 930 for ploughing. no one buys 2wds now as they are a special order and can cost more than the 4wd version cos of this. Just out of interest what is he running now along side the 930? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Case make a 2wd mx 210,I asked my local dealer why would you want a big tractor only 2wd he just said "it's a yank thing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 i guess in the big open countys sorry fields like they have theres no real need for 4wd after all theres no real hills to speak of and there stuff is so big hp wise the resrs are prob more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 mf fan, he has a 6465, 6480, 6485 and a 6490 i think, all below 200hp and the smallest is a 6465 as ive drove it. the bigger 2 are fully loaded, full suspension ect, small 2 only have front suspension. 930 fendt pulls a 9furrow lemkin plough!

civilpek Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 in classic tractor a fair while back there was a picture of a jd 7810 2wd from Canadia, and it looked cool the trouble with the 2wd drive is if they do find a hole theyll just kepp digging it deeper and deeper \ even if ur in flat country or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
