hi if potato sales goes well this Winter i think i will trade my lovley fine working massey 6475 into a New tractor. using it 50 %tillage and rest loader work. some transport in fall my 6475 from2007 has old Hood Nice loader tractor.had a 7618 With loader on demo last year but i didnt like the New bigger Hood..
i have a fendt 312 vario tms i am so happy With that tractor
its quick and solid buildt.
if i chose a New fendt the700 series is what i have in my mind.
but i am not shure on model a 716 should be stronger than my 6475 but i can see fendt have stronger vario from 718, any one here know details betwine the models? is it big diffrent in Money betwine them?
is the bigger models in 700 range a lot more to pull?
from what i have heard it has been some problems With New fendt like frontwindows sensors etc it the New ones now bether buildt?

What kind of work are you doing? the 516 is a capable tractor at 165 hp, the 716 is a shade longer and would be a little better on heavier draft work, but you will pay 8 k more for the privilege, but they are basically the same hp.

Have a 720 on 6000 hours bought new. Had an add blue sensor go when it was new. 1 suspension air bag leaked and was replaced. Screen has been changed. Did have to change a windscreen but that was a stone off the front mower. Handles a 6 furrow kv no problem. Also a fully mounted cultivator that weighs 3 t. I do have 1600kg of weight on the front.

Some real deals on 720 at local dealers atm thats around the price of equ masseys.
If you can afford it buy more HP than you ever think you will need.

Wouldn't know. Mine was putting itself into limp mode every now and then. With 2 weeks warranty left I would be on the phone 1st thing. If it is a sensor it's a quick fix.
