Thought Autoquad was the unpopular (cheaper usually) variant.
A 6400 has always been £+/-17k secondhand, even nearly 20 yrs ago.
Autoquad is just power quad plus with automatic shifting between 1-4.
Don't doubt it.
But is had the reputation of being the one not to buy high-houred secondhand.
Is it not autopower which is the one to be wary of secondhand

Power quad was the most common gear box on ten series
There a bit like a 40 series Ford. Just nowhere near as good
Now don't you galloping goat lovers go quoting my post and tinkering with it

If you got your heart set on green, buy green. Don't know how prone the 6600s are to head gasket failures.
I think you might get more value for your money in the blue or red camp looking at the used market, but the Deere's are of course expensive because they are... the best

do you know if tractor data is right about 6600s having a 5.9l?@Kevtherev I have a feeling you said somewhere you have been around 6600s?
You forgot the porous blocks with exploding oil filters.....head gaskets

Oh and yes those dropped valves are terrible. We have to keep a spare engine in reserve because of it.

6800 and 6900 are 6.8l engines. 6800 here since 1997. Head gasket done at 3000 hrs. Cross shaft for lift arms 6500hrs. Brakes and pistons done at 7500 hrs. Currently on 7700 ish hrs. It has been a very good and reliable tractor so it's still here.
aye seems off that the 6506,6800 and 6900 all use the 6.8l and they put something different in the 66

this one has does 7700h seems tidy and been seems a high ish spec looks tidy toothink tractor data is wrong about the engine?just seems odd they would bother and not do it with anything elseLooks like it could be the same engine block with different stroke lengths (127mm vs 110mm) according to tractordata, I'm sure someone will come along to confirm/deny it
@NZ Tech or @green giant either of you know?
