I'm from NZ and was for sale recently but decided to keep it a bit longer not much out that could replace it been such a good tractor got a mf 7619 with 3.5k hrs which has had more gone wrong with in 1 yr than the 7810s lifetime. Probably be better to export it back to the states get 50k to 60k nzd for it if I was to sell it again I'm kinda shocked at the prices on tractorhouse.com
I'm a hard mf guy but that 78 is right in every way does everything that the 7619 does

jd 2040s scraper tractor, bought for £3000 12? years ago, clock stopped at 11600 hours, but it is nearly time for retirement, was offered £2000 p/e. Apart from than that, we tend to buy new, heard enough about electronic repairs, and how dear they are ! The best tractors we have had, to cope with our hills, were jd 3050's, we had a couple of them, wish they had something similar now, but I don't think loader and yard work, would suit them !

NH TX 34 located in Wexford. Can't remember the year. The 11000 hour MF 860 is one of Mark Heil's in America.

I haven't owned it since new and it did get a new gearbox before my time. It's been flawless in my ownership however and counts up about 400 hours a years mostly on top work breaking down ground ahead of the drill but does a bit of silage work for us as well. It gets to pull a 4 furrow plough at times when I want to cover ground a bit quicker. I intend to yoke it up to the big plough someday and see how it copes.

Do you prefer it over a regular mound board¿

We're on peat soil here so its easier to pull but couldn't imagine pulling it through clay soils without a 8000 series john deere. It does a really good job of turning the soil over and it covers some serious ground at 3ha/hr

10000 hr tractors.
ithink the marshall 844 might be the only original one with a working clock, 10300hrs
valmet 8400 11000, I know its not even close to right, be closer to 15000
mf 6180 9200 again not even close, had 7300hrs in 2013
nh ts 115, 4000ish hours with the second set of tyres at 20%? only came this tuuesday but looks and drives 100%
390, 2700 clock not going, not clue
35 ?
mf 399 9300hrs
valmet is here from 1600hrs, still a front line as such but now only doing 3-400hrs ayear, 5 years ago it was recording 600hrs when the 6180 was recording an average of 800hrs year, taking a big workload of the valmet, also at that time we ran a 106 54 Renault as a third big tractor.
mf 6180 came in 2010, with 4900hrs, has done a lot of work and same as valmet third set of tyres at the minute and both were mostly baling, mowing, and harvester tractors, grass isn't sore on tyres.
no notion of changing them, we know them, valmet might soon need a second hyd pump, massey still needs the sycnros it needed when we bought it(needs to be stopped to get into 1st gear). the 399 was sold and bought back as a simple tractor, 106 54 was sold and never replaced, the ts replaced a 7740 that was a loader tractor here for 6.5 years, again it was not true hrs but added up, sold needing a pack in the sle and it only cost 8500 to change from a 97 7740 to 01 ts115, if the pack was in the 7740 it would have stayed but couldn't get a mechanic to sort it in a hurry. They are our main tractors for 50 suck cows and a bit of contracting part time, seem to work.

Just traded our John Deere 6620 in that done 10600 and our 6430 has just turned 10000 had that from new so that one won’t be going far.
In Spain a combine with 4-5000 hours is semi new. It must be said that here the productions are 40-50% of what produces a hectare of cereal in the UK and half the kilos have passed through the screens and elevators
I have a JD 1174 that I bought in 2013 as 3rd owner and marked about 7,800 hours, now the clock is stopped, but with proper maintenance the machines do their job well and last

What did you trade the 6620 in for?
