What did you trade the 6620 in for?
6930. 66 is still a good tractor now just linkage getting worn would still go field and do a days work no problem.
What did you trade the 6620 in for?
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.
Any pictures of the 106 you had?
If you look at combines in South Africa you will find 10 -12 year old combines with 8000 hours or more on them. This is because it tends to be dry at harvest so you can leave the crop until you are ready to harvest so one combine can do a lot more acres per yearMetal fatigue is a bit of an issue on higher houred combines I will admit but I've 2 approaching those hours and apart from a couple of superficial cracks in tinwork fatigue hasn't reared it's ugly head yet. Touch wood. I am a stickler for keeping bearings and bushings in first class order which I think helps. It's when things start knocking that they start breaking up. I know a NH here with over 9000 hours done and still going and a MF860 over in the States with over 11000 hours and it cut corn this year well last year now.
Very interesting thread and obvious that there are many working tractors out there with in excess of 10 and 15 k hours , as would be expected.
What I find even more astounding is that tractors with these hours seem to never be advertised for sale all that much!! Well that is with the correct and representative hours!
Must be wholesale clocking and winding back of hour meters going on, every TM that I have looked at recently were all at 8,000 or so hours and under!? Where do the high hour heros actually end up? Is it a case of export or clock an sell domestically again?
Out of interest what's current nh equivalent of the tm 140 ?NH 7840 with loader just knocking on 15000hrs not main loader (Loadall) but doing about 6-700hrs/yr
Ford 7840 just over 16000hrs, getting a little sluggish now.
TM 140 on 9400hrs, still a nice tractor to spend a day.
Just got another 7840 turbo thats barely run in on 5600hrs
T6 140? If such a thing exists?Out of interest what's current nh equivalent of the tm 140 ?
It is the T7.190/T7.210 that would be the modern day equivalent of the TM140.T6 140? If such a thing exists?

Isn't the T7 a bit heavier and longer than the TM? Saying that there was very little difference between the TM155 and the T7 210 but I never compared weights.It is the T7.190/T7.210 that would be the modern day equivalent of the TM140.
C'mon, do you think anyone will confessWhere do the high hour heros actually end up? Is it a case of export or clock an sell domestically again?
Short wheelbase T7 is about the same weight as a TM and uses the fiat winner back end. T7.175 classic is the equivalent of a TM140 with 140 rated horse power. Although I think the T7s all use the HD front axle now, which was only on the TM155, TM150, 8360 and 8560 before. T7.165s would be another close option which ironically has more rated power than the T7.175 ?Isn't the T7 a bit heavier and longer than the TM?

our case mxm 140 (tm140 ) had the heavy duty front axle the same as the 155s. the 155s had a heavier rear axle than the 140s .Short wheelbase T7 is about the same weight as a TM and uses the fiat winner back end.

T6 is about a ton lighter and not available with range command.
