Fendt 516 vs Massey Ferguson 6716s dyna VT

[Massey 6470]

What’s people’s views on these two tractors similar hp although Fergie has boost
Would there be much difference in new price

 

[Rob Holmes]

I’d have the Sisu engine over the Deutz one

 

[Massey 6470]

To my knowledge the 6715 has the vario out of a 718/720 whereas the 500 series has a smaller vario therefor making the 516 easier on fuel

That’ll make the MF one more heavy duty.

Sisu engine far superior, rest is operator preference i guess

Would you buy a tractor/car on its engine alone? Or is the whole package considered.

 

[Rob Holmes]

Engine is Sisu vs Deutz
Gearbox is heavy duty vario vs light duty vario
Axles are both Dana IIRC
Only difference is cab and colour (and price tag)

4pot Massey DVT pricer than you think thats there trouble
if you going for any 4pot make it the biggest the 6718S but annoyingly i'll bet the 7718S is peanuts more spec for spec
folks can say what they like about 4pots but the 6 wins it for me everytime.
If you need a 4 then fine there ok, Poss use some oil mind. & like a bag of hammers on tickover.
Just my views had a 4day demo last year that convinced me the 6 was still better.

Bought 6715s Dyna VT datatronic new in 2018, put 1300 hours on it mowing, baleing and Hedgecutting, considered a Fendt 516 to replace it but opted for JD6145r ultimate to replace it. It’s still at the JD dealership waiting to be sold for 105k euros inc vat one year after been traded in!

It will find a home. It’s the only one with that spec in Ireland. It’s not for your average joe I guess.

Without getting involved in bashing a brand, I disliked a lot of features on the MF even down to the small seat. I had at the time switched from NH after 20 years to both a MF and a JD. I tried two MF’s a 2016 6515 dyna 4 and the 6515s dyna vt and I decided that I had enough of MF. At the same time I had a 2017 6155r Vario and I had no issues with it so in 2019 I replaced the MF and JD with two new JD’s. I’m happy with my decision.
