MODELFARMER Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 yea i think your right ricky, had it in the auto trader last 2 weeks,you wouldnt believe the amount of time wasters and tyre kickers that rang me. sick of answerin the phone to them so i think ill go get myself a nice 2nd hand jd loader and stick it on it!!! Dam right matey, Not many of that shape deere have a loader but you'd be suprised how well she'll cope with it, Go for a quicke and paint it green like new to match the tractor. JD loaders are quicke anyway as far as I'm aware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smish Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 massey loaders are quickie anyways coz they have the alo badge on the insde of the channel. new quickie's are nearly as expensive as a new john deere!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Has to be a JD 6400, on a P/R reg, I drove one for a while and found it ideal to drive, lots of space in the cab and nice layout, bit bumpy but the engine, if well looked after can go on and on. A couple 6400's around here (ex contracting fleet) sold at ?8500 a piece with 7800/8200 hours They do hold their price fairly well, and because you previously owned a Deere, you know you chose the right brand and to stick by them!

NCC Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 The Ford is still winning the vote :o Get the MF, seriously ;) A Case International 56 series is also a good and very solid tractor, a little old maybe but the power and torque is crazy ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Naturally! ha ha!! You'll be recommending Belarus next! If you get the Ford then you'll need a dealer aswell to recalibrate the clutch every week ;) Belarus, Irsus would all show the Fords show how to do it, would they not ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Don't listen to Nathan Cooperative, he admitted to me on MSN his for must be a one off, really it's down to the fact that he raggs it everywhere and can't look after it to save it's life, whilst our 6640 now approaching 5400 hours hasn't needed any major repair job since we've had it. I still think the JD 6400 is best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's had an easy life with us, it's on the straw chopper through the winter and it's mainly baling and loading and carting bales back in the summer. It get's serviced twice a year with new filters etc so we do look after it a little bit It had a new hydraulic pump this year though after it blew it's seals and started pumping backend oil into the engine while mowing. Fix and Repair daily springs to mind ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got 10 phone calls about the spares and my father has gotten about 10 about the combine - 4 were supposed to come and look at her but only 1 has done thus far. At least that fella was very sound about it rang in the morning said he'd be there in the afternoon and was. It's worse waiting around if you have things to do or want to go off Hope to sell my stuff soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
