Massey ferguson 5610

[Dave6170]

Anybody on here got 1? How do you like it? Only know of 1 locally and he really rates it. Wondering what they are like compared to the 5455

@Finn farmer loved his one

 

[Noyb]

We've got one. really like it. nice and light uses naff all fuel and pulls a 3.5m power harrow and 4m accord drill. plenty of power for a 3 cylinder engine. the one down side was lack of front suspension for road work.

 

[Wellytrack]

Won’t be equivalent to a 5455. You will need a 5612 for that.

I drive a 5612 on occasion and like it. Some people don’t like the 5600 range at all so have a wee spin first.

Ask Alan, he's got a 5613, don't think its been very good. Too light.

5455 is fine with a silage bale on the front. Dont know if a 5610 is lighter than 5455, must be

We have one, does all the mowing, fert and 2000l trailed sprayer. It loads and carts all our silage and straw as well. We all like it, though I'm not keen on the linkage buttons.

 

[Finn farmer]

We liked ours. Did 4 years and ~4200 hours with us from new. Very comfortable ride for a tractor with no front suspension. Very easy on fuel, the approximate fuel usage was a tad under 6l/hr. We moved all our bales with it, sometimes with a lowloader with 16 silage bales on and it did fine. All our mowing (Pöttinger 307 trailed) was done with it as was ploughing (4 furrow reversible Kuhn). We had a 5445 from 2004 to 2009 and i think that the 5610 was better in almost everything (except the linkage control, but that isn't as bad as people want you to believe).

We swapped it for the Maxxum in my profile pic, mainly because the Mf wasn't able to run our Fusion 2 (never tried, but everyone on their right mind will agree with that).

No complaints about the 3 cyl engine?

None here, it has a distinctive note but it's fine.

Worst bit is Prices allegedly?

Our 6480 looks like a bargain now

No. It drinks a little and works hard. Only complaint under the bonnet was poor alternator. Pulley wheel would start to loosen up and miss align the belt. Second alternator had the same problem but in the end we ended up tightening the pulley wheel in friends workshop and did 3000+ trouble free hours after that.

Whats the difference between an S and SL? Looking at 5612 and 5712

Ours has been a great little tractor, only problem so far has been lift cylinder seal leaking a bit now,(4000 hrs)
Prices? Do you mean when new or trading in 2nd hand?

Is the s not the global and the sl the higher spec tractor
