The global models are the cheap ones made for global markets where they don't want too much complexity, whereas the S models are the main line ones for our market and can be fitted out with every electronic toy your heart could want.

Whats sl then?

The global models are the cheap ones made for global markets where they don't want too much complexity, whereas the S models are the main line ones for our market and can be fitted out with every electronic toy your heart could want.

As we have found now, the problem comes when you already have, say, a 661? and go to look for the new version - say a 6613 (not always marketed as a Global) and it's nothing like the same thing. The replacement is now has an S behind it. Unnecessarily confusing.

 

[DanniAgro]

Just looked at the Massey website, and in the over 100 hp bracket at least, the global tractors are marked out by just having a simple number (6700 say) and the "normal " ones shown by an added S (6700 S).
There was no mention of SL as far as I could see, so no idea where that distinction comes from, but Massey seem to be deliberately making things difficult to understand by the use of the S name, along with AL and M in the smaller hp ranges.

Pardon Our Interruption

SL is superseded by S only.

D4 is now also available in the 57 Global tractors.

 

[DanniAgro]

Soon there won't be anything to differentiate the global from the S tractors as D4 was one of the main differences.

They still offer both trans but I think they are missing a mid range model like the 5700S using DVT. Maybe the next shakeup will see a change. They have too many 90-130hp models and it is confusing.

Looks like quite a high spec big loader for the tractor. Forward reach looks impressive. At a guess and as a consequence, it will need a good counterweight on the links when not towing a trailer. It has solid welded wheels so no issues with cracking or anything with those, front or back.
High visibility roof as well.

 

[Dave6170]

Loader probably is a size too big. It has cab suspension aswell!

Do people put water in tyres these days for weight?

Just don't forget if you ever take the wheel off!

Filling more than ⅔ is asking for mechanical damage to the tyre carcass. You need the air to cushion shocks and driving over rocks and similar. You also need anti-freeze solution rather than water. The traditional antifreeze to use was calcium chloride but not sure whether that is used much these days.

It doesn't relieve load and wear on the front axle pivots and bearings either.

Why arnt wheel weights that popular? Is it because they are hassle to remove?

They cost a lot and are more for traction than for use as a counterweight.
