MJB1 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 whoa there mike what were you thinking of ? thats probably the biggest mistake i've seen for a long time & i think even you'll have to agree that shirt clashed desparately with the grill looks a nice buy mike , obviously looked after & coming from a farm you know even better , at least it's from an age where the niggles were sorted from the 6000 series & before new niggles apeared with the 6020 series. on the other hand yer going to miss that big side window on the 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Great to see some photographs of your 6810 Mike, very tidy machine, hope the 3040 finds a good home mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 had a great day using the 6810 on its maiden vouage in the contract flailing world great tractor for the job, makes me think how did i manage with the 3040 for 6 years view wise its as good as the big window on the 3040, you look through the side window behind the door, the forward reverse is so much better been clutchless and the 4 power steps are great for adjusting ya speed without changing main gears with the clutch.

Lord Ferguson Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 pleased to hear it Mike... I'm in a similar position to you as well..
