Anybody got one or have an opinion on the Optum. Looks like a lot of tractor for the money and seems to hold its value well. Not heard much about them and was interested.
Yeah totally agree about the cab. However I have a friend who has one and he loves the cab because he doesn't have to stand up to reach the radio!Good tractor let down by small pokey cab
I can’t comment on south of the border but apart from a handful of dealers most have just only been appointed over the last couple of years in ScotlandYes not the greatest cab. There just doesn't seem to be that many around for what seems a cracking machine that has been out 2(?) Years now.
Light weight compared to a 7280r that’s nearly 12 and a half tonI think it's bit odd that they are marketed as a lightweight tractor, while weighing 11 tonnes.
Maybe light compared to a magnum but not plenty lighter tractors around.
Exactly.Think it is to compete with 800 series fendt and 7000 series deere. Cnh had a gap in market previously.
Add a front linkage a tank of diesel the 6250 is over 10tFair enough but they are not marketed as such. 6250r are only about 15 hp less at max. rated and weigh in at a bit under 9.5 tonnes. Still not quite lightweight in my book though.
Just had a quick peek and the optum is only 500 kg lighter then a magnum. I guess that has some more gadgets but come on.
Not quite as idiotic as the second gen. claas axions but come on. Yeah, tractors are heavier but don't be a dick and say they are light as a feather when the next one up is only a wee bit heavier.
Rant over.
