John Deere 6r or Massey Ferguson 7700 series?

[Frankzy]

Class and MF have never used the same suspended axles on mid range models.

Yes and i wondered whether that was going to change with this new front axle, something i would very much have liked since the Claas axle delivers pretty awesome comfort..
Might have even made me consider a MF despite that cab

Not like the others im afraid... Plus if you keep clearing the code and drving on then sh1ts gunna happen

Coming into 5 years and no regen issues for me and you don't have to park up to do it like the other German green thing

I had a 6210R which had a fair few niggles when it was new, some fairly major, enough to persuade the boss to buy a NH despite us being all deere and having a deere dealer between 2 of the farms. When I was due a replacement this year wasnt really fussed what colour I got, until I had a shot with the 6215R DD. It really is some machine, far smoother, quieter and nicer to drive than 6210 was, its better on fuel as well, although on my jobs I never found the 6210 to be that bad

And for sitting in corner of a field shouting at some error codes as the re gen fudges up get a deer

When im sat in a corner of a field shouting, its usually at the bloke who has made me drive a valtra, and the cart spring cab suspension combined with a seat thats like an upturned orange box has started to give me b**lock ache.

What version of the jd are you talking about?.

Only being a smart ass.
30s and original Rs engines are not covering themselves in glory, a long way behind 00s and 10s.

 

[NZ Tech]

No sweat I only ask out of curiosity... I think you'll find the new ones punching above there weight now

 

[Badshot]

I spotted a nice jd the other day in classifieds.
I'll see if I can find it again.

Yep. That's the one.

I buy all my gear ex demo if I can. Much better value, and plenty of extras normally. This will be no different I'm sure. And with brexit. Imported stuff is going to get expensive.

150r John Deers most comfortable tractor I've operated, pathetic without an engine remap. Brilliant when derv doctored up to 200hp. auto quad gearbox good for reliability and simplicity, but if i was buying just for me to drive would go for auto power/DD! Steering lock is pretty good if you have the tyres just and so skimming the chassis on full lock. Will have odd error code but very rare tractor is out of use. MF 7618 .... One of the most uncomfortable fully suspended tractors I've ever operated to the point where I asked if the dealer could bolt the cab suspension up solid! Windows, doors, wing mirrors, indicator/side light arms, cab, mudguards all came loose and tried to fall of..... But plenty of power, good steering lock and nippy on the road. Masseys lasted 5 months and had to go due to continuos breakdowns, now on are second set of 150r's. Maybe our four masseys were Friday afternoon models and maybe the 7700 range is a lot better

did derv doctor remove the emission stuff?

 

[bigrigg150]

The masseys may just and so of had the edge on fuel consumption...... But an amount that isn't worth bothering about

He made it so engine clean outs ( or whatever it's officially called) aren't just as regular, but a light on the dash and a slightly louder exhaust tone every now and then doesn't really bother me to much to be honest

AFAIK, he does the usual EGR off and massages the timing as well as the fuelling and turbo mapping, but leaves the DPF in place.

Without EGR and more optimal timing, the exhaust will run hotter and thus cleaner, so as long as fuelling isn't to excess the dpf wont have to work any harder than standard.
