40k eco has 19th. Do the 7000 series suffer from the same design as the 6000s?

what do the 6000 suffer from

 

[Boohoo]

what do the 6000 suffer from

The 6000 series along with the swb T7s have a well known problem with the so called 50k bearing. It's not an expensive part in itself, but getting so it and fixing the damage it causes can be.

Dont forget the engine and gearbox getting along like Al and Peg bundy.

If you can even call it an engine. Bloody thing is hopeless.

Ollie you're a laugh considering the nef engine is one of the best if not the best engine on the market at the minute!

Most T7s around here have had them go, you mentioned it’s the SWB ones, are the LWB ones different?

Have to agree with you there, you can say what you like about the rest of the machines but the engines are impressive, all ours pull well above what you would expect, the T6 punches well above it's weight.

I don't know. I've only heard of problems with 50k bearings on 6080s, T7.200s etc. There aren't as many LWB models around here so I don't know if the design is different or if people have been lucky so far.

The one in the 6000 series is flat as a turd. All the throttle does is produce extra noise.

 

[ARW]

I’ve got an 09 t7040, 40k, it’s done 10,000 hours and the only major repair has been a fresh damper plate at 9000 hours.
It’s been a great tractor

B-ollocks!

We have TM155 and the red version of T6080 here.

Absolutely nowt between them power wise.

For a supposedly 150hp tractor it feels pretty asthmatic to me.

Must be the seat, steering, pedal interface that’s faulty with the one you used as I can assure you there as good as anything else if not better.

Ours pulls well enough and goes even better once the boost light comes on. And I know for a fact it’s not been meddled with or chipped/remapped in any way.
