High hour Dyna VT.

[holywell farmer]

Dyna shift short wheel base ended a bit before the long wheel base models, ottomh, 6480 went dyna6 after 55plate, 6490 about 07 - not certain but I'm not far off I don't think. Biggest carrot for a 6485/90 is Sisu motor - much more poke and better longevity than the Perkins. A lot of 6480's were the 'big tractor' on farms back in the day, so will of worked. A 6485, being the smallest in a big range, will be comparatively unstressed. Better ride too. Nowt like as nimble though - there's a trade off, as ever.

6480 both dynashift and dyna 6 sold well for massey

Glad someone on this forum thinks so

Just spoke to a very helpful Fendt dealer who used to sell Fendt and Massey. He recons because Massey use different software to Fendt there is no engine braking on the stick, therefore Massey doesn’t put back pressure into the system. This makes the Massey unit far more reliable??? He said they’d never touched a Massey VT??? Anyone care to comment?

Funny you mention that. I considered a vt for a while and spoke to a tame fendt mechanic for pros and cons on the transmission. He said the box seems to last longer in a mf vt than a fendt vario but he couldn't explain why. It's just the way it is he said.

But you can pull back on the stick on the Massey it’s just there is no exhaust brake on it.
Mates 7490 vario went at around 6 thousand hours, it had a tuning box on it tho.

Does the sisu have an exhaust brake in any other tractors?

Cvx has an exhaust brake on it with a sisu engine, 6.6 rather than a 7.4l though

Isn’t that just the older CVX which is basically a Steyr in Case livery, I’m sure the newer ones are all FPT engines.

Yeah its the older 1s which i think was best cvx made

Yes as they are the ones called a CVX rather than a puma cvx

I was thinking it wouldn't be hard to fit onto a mf a with sisu engine.

Had a 7495 where the vario went around 5000hrs due to a bearing failing internally. Majority of those hours on the tractor were sat on slurry pump. Hardly any roadwork pulling trailers etc...

Do massey not fit an exhaust break on the new tractors

bearings are bearings are bearings
could have happened to any transmission

Probably scared as know it causes premature engine failures in their green cousins on hilly ground

Alot on silage trailers using exhaust braking ARE having engine failures. Doesn't affect Case and New Holland tho.
