Hello all
Looking at changing our 6420s for a more powerful machine as it can't quite boss the unipress or plough in tough land and we want to get on faster, but at the same time we to keep to tractors that are relatively light and small.
Have had a 6125r on hire for last two summers and it's great to drive and has pretty much what we need although it's sometimes on the power limit and could do with another 5 to 10hp.
Several of our neighbours have case Mx140's and we hear good things but these people are unlikely to admit if it was a pup anyway. Local dealer is very competitive on price and has an excellent reputation with a lot of machines out around us.
So I am looking at JD 6125R & M, 6140M and Case Mx140 MC all around the 5.5t bracket and unboosted do 125 to 140hp. I am ignoring IPM and other boosts because I need good low down lugging on a plough and unipress. I think I have sorted the different HP's so I can do a baseline comparison.
Any thoughts on the MX140 in-particular as Case is an unknown to us.
Any thoughts on the basic 6140M. Would still hire a harvest tractor (6125R) as well so don't need all the toys on ours hence looking at the M series.
