They stock plenty of parts

Plenty parts ive needed they dont always have... horses for courses most you get withing 24hrs if they havnt.
But after poss 30yr & 9 x 6cyl masseys, 7 all from new, apart from one which i wanted looking at as it was used with older brakes & piece of mind
ive not had a single one off or snap on me. (YET)
Must admit apart from the plough which has to have plenty swing there isnt much here that doesnt get the stabilizers closed right up otherwise.
We can all be carefull, ive not run masseys much beyond 6000hrs, will be in the future tho & Speedstars might have done 9000+ when his broke
so they all stand so much & eventually go.

A 12.9 is harder and more brittle, so will snap under shock load. 8.8 will bend or tear first.

not in a 540pto on topper it doesnt 8.8 utter shite on them.... might have snapped 3 x 12.9's in 4years
but every time you set the thing away in eco540 it would nearly go on factory 8.8s
These are normal Bolts iam using not tech classed as Shear ones, yes only M8 bolts i know but wont the idea be similar ??

Not really no - a topper is a rising torque loading, as opposed to a sudden shock when a stabilizer gets a batting.

Was in a main dealer during the autumn with the view to purchase a new pump agitator it was sitting at the back of the depo as we walk through the yard passes two pallets with two half housing on each i said looks nasty he says bearing in them are worse as they need regular greasing and at that they still go they all had a handy chunk of metal missing

You wonder what other brands of tractors are like for this? it certainly seems as if massey themselves have an weak point here.
Anyone know if a Fendt one off any model go's ?

Incase knowone has seen it, the 8S from launch will have the same rear linkage & hydraulics & full transaxle no matter what trans is specced on it inc the not available yet Dyna-vt
this is a first, id say there has to be a redesigned Vario Unit in the makings to suit that gap inbetween the engine flywheel & front of rear Diff housing/Transaxle
which in all previous masseys that had the vario or D6 gbox in it didnt have. they could have dropped the Fendt ML180 in there poss from the larger 700 series Fendts but maybes its not quite upto
the max power of the 8S.265 under full boost? or its just a physical stronger unit their needed seeing i'll bet there will be a 300hp model by the time its launched.
Possibly the larger unit from a 828 for instance is just too large a casing, Time will tell as it usually does.
When the tier2 6400 was launched wasnt the 7400 a little later? someone will know.

Dyna VT will be available at the end of this year on the 8S model along with a new 8S 285 300hp with boost model

Have you heard any rumours about 7s without the new cab?

Ross Fraser · Jan 9, 2021

No MF have not told us yet about cab on 7S model, but I doubt they will use the old cab I would think likely to be the same cab of 8S or very similar.

i had the hunch when it was launched as massey worm told me there will be a 300hp model, just he didnt say when.

Replaced the bearings at approximately 10k hrs in our three 2012 828s. Enough wear to warrant replacing them. Seals weren't leaking but if you run with to much play in the axle it causes housing damage. Iirc 800s trumpet bearings are oil lubricated as we never grease them.
To be fair the majority of our work is trailer type work so no extremely heavy hitch loads

Not keen on the beacons unless they aren’t as ridged as they look

I thought the beacons were the best part of the tractor, they won’t be catching your eyes in the mirrors at night.
I’m assuming they’re folding/removable

Is it an optical illusion, or do the back wheels look small compared to the fronts ?

Dave6170 · Jan 13, 2021

Seen a YouTube video of 1 on 42 inch wheels looked tidy!

Totally agree with you on that but if they aren’t flexible they won’t last two mins
