What kind of horse power do you reckon 150?
Bit of a broad subject this but I’m going to ask anyway.
I’ve recently got a hold of 10ah of land that I’m planning on taking hay from. All for my horses and maybe to sell a few and was looking at a tractor that could handle the work load.
A few day ago I’ve found out there is work lifting potato’s and head cutting work around so was thinking of taking that on as well
Question is what horsepower tractor could do all the jobs?
I was thinking a JD6930 type of tractor
( no I’m not a JD purist and will consider other brands )
Any ideas
Thanks
That what I’m looking for a good solid tractor with enough power for potato drawing hedge cutting and maybe bailingdunno, depends on your circumstances.
We’ve run case puma 155, nh tm150, 140, 155 and 7030 all to around 10,000hrs with not a lot of love and they’ve been cheap to run, easy to drive, good on diesel. 7030 a bit hard sprung. None of the engines or gearboxes been opened. Sure there’s comfier, faster, flashier options but the I think the Basildon built nh machines are solid.
I think I’m going to run a different tractor for the hay cutting tending and bailing. For 10ah a litre massy would be grand. Then look at something bigger for the hedge cutting and potato pulling.MF135 would do all the hay work. I’ve lifted spuds behind a MF230 too. We don’t have many hedges up here so no idea on that. All depends what size of gear you’re planning on pulling.
If I could get one for 30k I’d take either one of those
A secondhand 939 would handle all that with ease , big tractor might get more work.fendt or fastrac, they seem to be all the rage for everything else
If you can find a nice 6930 with sensible hours (8000 is enough) then go for it. Will tackle almost every job with power and comfort. Just get/pay an expert to check it out for you.
gearbox failure in any modern tractor can cost £10k to sort and the powerquad box is one of the most reliable..
