John Deere 6r or Massey Ferguson 7700 series?

[joe soapy]

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.

That could be interesting. Youngest boy went on an experience day with a big car manufacturer.
cars were put to their limits all day by the pro demo drivers. They do this 5 days a week for 6 months,
then the cars go onto forecourts for sale as demo cars to unsuspecting buyers looking for a bargain

Porsche Centre?

I'd rather buy one of those than one some ham fisted city dweller may have mauled.

They're all warmed up, cooled off properly, gone right through every morning, run on a perfect surface, never kerbed or knocked and only endure one cold start a day. They're driven hard, but with alot of mechanical sympathy - even by the paying wannabe pilots when they're out of their Corsa sxi comfort zones.. All PDK autos so no transmission or clutch abuse possible. All are run with the driver aids turned on- they've never had one off the track in 3 years.

The fast lap cars do many full bore standing starts per day 6 days a week but don't seem to have any problems.

*edit* Understand that Porsche warrant the clutch and PDK box for 3000 full power launches, that's one a day every day for 8 years, and will replace either for free if it fails inside of that.

The new 7700 series look to have changed a lot, big difference with the mechanical can suspension to the optiride suspension on our current ones.

Getting a demo 7718 and a 6155r or 6175r. Missed out on the prices before they went up!

 

[Farma Parma]

Depends what you like best doesnt it
Had 7618 & 7718 on demo here 2 x 7618's infact.
Passed on the them both & just got the bigger older dyna-vt 7499
Them 18's imho are just minor tweeked 6480's
When you would like its so called 200hp i'll put money on it not providing it.
you would think there good for 170 odd horses but couldn't tell much diff with 6480 doing same jobs here.
There all way over priced now thats for sure.

I demo'ed a 6175r against a 7718 mainly because I don't really believe in boost.
However, if boost really does exist then maybe the 6155r is the more true comparison?
Been very pleased with the 7718 so far, although I was hugely impressed with the claas 650 Arion cebis.

 

[Farma Parma]

wheres a 7718 @ in ni on full spec priced at now then?
Guessing £77k ??
When wheat's £200/ton again if it ever happens.
I'll look at them NEW SHINNY Horses possibly.

Rep range will be out by then id guess tho

JD does look a nice finished Machine mind

There's just Too many Carry over stuff from the various generations of the 6400 into the 7600 now 7700 series

Each one getting more n complicated & pricier

"Porsche Centre?

The Porsche cars that are belted around the factory test track at Weissach go into a garage there for a pre sale check and re-built of anything needed and come out better than a new one off the production line. I'd have no worry about taking a car that has been at the Silverstore Centre, that's about the only way you will find a 991 with a manual gearbox S/H.
