Tractorman810 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i have had this in mind since i saw the fergy 5480 was coming out, the 6480 and newer 5480 which is a fairly new addition to the 5000 series as far as i can tell, are both basicly identical tractors, bar wheels from pics i have seen, so seeing as i had a set of uh deutz ttv 's and a front hitch, i thought i would try it out, and with a small amount of tinkering it worked to, ,only minor problem i broke the steering arm when the screwdriver slipped removing the front axel,nothings is fixed properly at present, still got a few bits to sort, but heres how she looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Nope the new facelift 6480 and 7480 are the same size ;) But this model is the 5480 converted to the 6480 which is the same size as the 6480 but is the 6480 the same size as the 5480??

allis8550 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Well done Sean nice convo, I reckon its spot on for a 6470, probably slightly small for a 6480. According to the brochures the 5480 has a wheelbase of 2.67m and sits on standard 14.9R28 fronts and 18.4R38 rears, the 6480 has a wheelbase of 2.82m and the same size tyres. the extra length is due to the 5480 having a 4 cylinder Sisu engine and the 6480 having a 6 cylinder Perkins. The 6470 has the same engine and dimensions as the 5480. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
