Tractorman810 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 ? you're never gong to fit an 80 loader to what yer making :o :D no but i will on the mf290 with the removable duncan cab on it, like we had on the farm, mind you can you see the beast with a 80 loader on the front, would look a little different :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 698t is no bigger than what you have mate, just pop a 4wd axel on it job done, as for a 200 series with duncan cab, dont you dare :D thats my next tractor scratch build after the one you know about, with mf 80 loader fitted I think there's a fair bit of size diffenrnce between a 690 and a 698 ;) :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I think there's a fair bit of size diffenrnce between a 690 and a 698 ;) :o not really mate, the 2 690's and the 698ts we had were near as the same, bar wheels and the 4wd option on the 98t, maybe ever so little longer bonnet lenght wise, but not overly noticable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 You sure they not higher, longer , just bigger :D don't make me get a picture of two parked next to each other : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 not that i remember mate,mind you long time ago now since i saw them all lined up, 699 was noticabilly longer bonnet wise but they were 6 pots not 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I think there's less difference in the 698 to the 699 than there is between the 690 to the 698 as I'm sure the 2wd versions of the 698/699 where the same front axle bigger and heavier than the smaller 690 \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON. Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 One of my mates has a 690 and a 698 and the another mate has a 699 all 2 leggers :D here's some pics i just looked up :o sorry about hijacking you topic Marcus you can spilt it if you like to a new topic " Sean is wrong yet again " ;D 690 698 699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefocus Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 like to try a 298 next, you ever tried casting cabs dan ? nice de-lux duncan cab would be good :) not quite the standard of detail you produce johny , but happy with the result i haven't looked into casting yet, i fear if i do i will open a can of worms. if i did i wpuld spend alot of time trying to perfect a new holland cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 as i said marcus i can cast eh 600 series cab and floor pan, along with a bonnet if you need more i haven't looked into casting yet, i fear if i do i will open a can of worms. if i did i wpuld spend alot of time trying to perfect a new holland cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 hmm 600 sizes was a bit strange. at malherbie the 698 was as big as the 699 although a bit shorter as only a 4 pot, but they were both on 38's when the 698 was sold & the 698T arrived it was the same size as the neighbours 690 we came to the conclusion that a 698T was basicly a blown 690 wether thats right i dont know. i've also seen a 675 that was longer than a 690 , due to massey offering short wheel base / long wheelbase tyre sizes were also the thing to watch , very rarely see a 698T offered on 38' more usual the 34's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 698 seems to have been fitted with a 675 engine plus turbo. 600 series were short and long wheelbase, nice pics of comparison and data here: http://www.konedata.net/Traktorit/MF675.htm http://www.konedata.net/Traktorit/MF698.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
