62 Massey

Ideally looking for a 6290 but would consider smaller. Would like front suspension and electric joystick ideally. Loader a bonus. Anything about?

Easier to find a pre Sisu 6480, remainder of 6290s are in strong hands and unlikely to be sold, what can you buy basic that's any better?

Well that's rather why im after one.. would be happy with a 6255 upwards really but would prefer the power of the 6 cylinder ones. Have borrowed a 6255 and its a very nice tractor to drive but really gutless.

2003 6475 in a Brown&Co sale Lincs, advertised in FG and FW.

I’d keep away from the electric spool valve joystick they were known to be a bit unreliable.

6480 as good to drive as the old 62s? Never driven a 64

Good question ! In my view the 62s are old school,the 64s are more uptodate ,fuel filler at the front of the cab is a big plus,a later 62 with front suspension power brakes welded wheels are the ones togo for,the 6290 have a great sounding engine,couple this with the roof hatch open is great,whereas the 64s like other makes are muffled even when pulling hard! please check the injector pump has been changed if you look at a tier 2 6480 as the Bosch pump are troublesome The 6290s have a real character!!,Pm me if i can guide you anymore

No Doubt, he is a very astute chap,He will know their bad points,But 6290s have proven to be a reliable tractor ,to keep up with the other brands !!
