6320 replacement

[tomildinio]

So, the 6320 with loader is starting to show a couple issues. Had some injector problems, electrical light problems and now pipe and o rings are starting bursting so decision has been made to change it.

It does lots, bale carting, all spraying, fert spreading, feeding cattle in winter. Makes hay, some round baling. About 1000 hours in the year. And I like a bit of comfort while doing it to.

I'd be looking to up the power a bit. Maybe to 120HP but has to be the same height for getting into low cattle sheds etc.

There is a valtra, Massey, jd, claas and case dealers with in reasonable reach.

My preference is a 6r or 6m. That four cylinder jd engine is brilliant imho.

6130r.. They go well.

Don't know if your visibility for your loader may be a lot worse with your new deeres those are huge bonnets

This troubles me too, is the mc bonnet any smaller /better visibility?

I swappeda 6220 to a 6230. Wished i hadn't.
Had a 6125r on demo and didn't like it. Also the particulate filter was a worry but i think that was needless now.
Switched out to a Valtra N113 and been extremely happy withit. Used less fuel and well built.

Not sure I thought bonnet the same but cab different local guy put a camera on his
As much as I like my Jd if it was that poor visibility I would probably go for the mf look a good package with the slope nose in the 5 series but maybe not as heavy built as the jd

I like the idea behind the 6115rc, four pot engine, fits in my sheds, no ad blue, can boost to 130 HP. They would wantbto come in cheaper then a regular r series though.

Pulling that sprayer can be a slog in my heavy ground, as can the grain hauling for a month in summer.
The valtra and claas seem good buys too. Much better value then the Deere.

Go and have a look at the secondhand value of a Claas before you go sound that route. It's a long way back.

I was looking for 120-130hp loader tractor last year, demoed Massey, Deere and valtra and ended up buying a Massey 5612 efficient. Great loader with plenty of power and a comfortable place to spend the day. the bonnet on the Deere was too big and was a nightmare to flat 8 with and the Valtra was lacking a 3 speed pto which I wanted for fert spreading and spraying but I think you can get that now on the new n4's

At the risk of arousing the Doc what about Deutz?
Not looked closely myself as I'm not currently in the market but MF & Deutz would be high on my check list for loader tractors. Decent dealer locally here which obviously has a bearing.

Kubota ?

 

[tomildinio]

No kubota dealer anywhere near. Had an agrotron as main tractor years ago and it was a little troublesome but was made 100 times worse by terrible back up.

I understand about value of claas second hand but will get little for any tractor with 10K hours on it which is where it will be.

If one more person says valtra then I will have to demo one. Dealer down the road. Waiting on JD mechanic to come to 6320 now for two days so they have removed themselves from list...
