Bombproof old bus to pull 6 furrows.

[Bury the Trash]

a 6810

 

[David.]

They're not about, unless either got a million hours or asking 30 grand for low hours one.
I would be in a happy place today if I could have found one of those first off.

Was thinking that when typing.

Darn trouble is with the power to weight ratio spot on, excellent high capacity hydraulics and 'conventional ' transmission it was (is) at the pinnacle of perfect ploughing tractors.

'Course as we well know , Sometimes machines can be developed to far

Our 6499 is a good match with our 6 f dp7 dowdswell.

Massey 36 series or 81 series

There were never many of these about to begin with, a straight one be harder to find than an honest man in parliament!

Six furrows on 150hp wants to be a semi-mounted surely. I know people hang 6s on that size but it can't do anything much good. You'll be able to run the tyres lower as well if you're not having to carry the plow.

Can argue it either way. Certainly healthier for them to be semi mounted when in transport, I know some fully mounted ones can do this.

What about this

 

[holywell farmer]

It had a 6499 up front for five or six years.

And, after that, a 7626 for another six.

Then we traded up to a selection of NHs.

For next year, I'm looking to trade up yet again, to another 6499.

My 3140 was fantastic.

It didn't like to lift a light 5 furrow leave alone a a 6 !

I would prefer a tidier looking magnum than that one to be honest. They are out there.

Thanks for all the input, will of course probably decide to sit it out and carry on as is, dont need bigger tractor for 9 months of year. Plough would be mounted slatted Rabe or Lemken.
As @Flat 10 says, putting 5f of my 120hp would be best compromise...

...if it ever runs again.

Will be pulling a 7 furrow slatted rabe with a case 7110 tomorrow hopefully....never used a plough myself before though so could be interesting

As long as you don't take the pee out of my ploughing

 

[ARW]

My old t7040 would do, 11k hours hedgecutting, tidy with good tyres, the only problem is I don’t want to sell it!

 

[michael N123]

Is 250hp enough

 

[michael N123]

Little bit of haggling and you might get it in budget

[tr250]

Go and get a 6f plough and a 100hp tractor and show us how it's done?
[/QUOTE
100hp crawler will pull 6f semi no bother
