[QUOTE="gone, post: 3794470, member: 5634"] A bit of both, mechanically the seals are not up to the job and go if under load, I wanted to put on a front loader but I have already had one set of seals go just with a front weight. Also electronic, [USER=615]@DrDunc[/USER] explains it well above, but mine also winds itself up or down when in 4wd and bangs out when trying to correct itself, probably what does in the seals. The main difference with the 6cyl suspension, or so I have been told, is when turned off the 6cyl allows the axle rest on the stops and so acts like a tractor without suspension, while the 4cyl always tries to lock itself in the middle of the travel range and the suspension is always under pressure. If that makes sense. If I could turn off the suspension while using the loader and it wouldn't be putting its components under pressure, I could live without F.S. while doing loader work. At the moment I would not trust the suspension to be up to loader work and turning it off doesn't protect its components. It is a shame, the 6160.4 is a great tractor and Deutz have improved a lot of things over the M series, the only thing that disimproved is the suspension. [/QUOTE]
