Light 50k tractor

[40 series]

40k oversize tyres you'll be as close to 50k as makes no odds

 

[oil barron]

I think some of the Valtra 6650 / 6850 were 50k and they are only 4.5tonne. Very rare find though.

Some one down here (mid Cornwall) runs a smallish new Holland on grass tyres for cutting sports pitches ,don't know what it is but it's fast, i mean really quick as it leaves me standing in my valtra

We have a Case Farmall that might be its red equivalent, does 45k or so and really feels like it's shifting for such a small tractor.

A tidy 7740 on 20.8s would be it. What weight are they?

 

[40 series]

Probably a tad over 4t. My 83 will sit at 50k on grass tyres

It's dual carriageway all the way on the flat, so the 50k does help lol

But it's not legal, do you have no regard for the law ?

 

[multi power]

I'd suggest a tidy ford 7610 and fit 38 inch back wheels
Only around 3 ton

Tractor speed limits are as commonly ignored as car speed limits

Yes I know, doesn't make either right

Fair enough point, does no harm to point the facts out but after that I’ll leave it between the drivers concience and the law,

asking a lot for 15k, doesn't get you much these days.
got a Massey 6265, good tractor.

Sound a lot of money to save max 6 minutes and 15 seconds to travel 10 miles a little more quickly and risk running foul of trailer construction and braking regulations.

Save fuel driving a 50k at 40k

Not even - it’s 4 minutes 49 seconds.

Isn't it in fact a fair bit less as 50k would be the top speed, rather than average speed

 

[Deerefarmer]

Would the OP consider a 63 or 6420 with eco40k? Unlock ecu and get 50 plus... except up hills

 

[DrDunc]

Front suspension and brakes up to the job needed for 50k.

Deutz k series were geared for 50k, but as standard software limited to 40k.

Rear brakes on them are multi disc that happy at 50k without front axle brakes (must other brands just a pair of rear discs so need front brakes for 50k).

My 120hp k430 will happily sit at 50k with 10 tonne full silage trailer.

K series might be too heavy for the op? Definitely won't get one for £15k anywhere in the world though.

They're like hens teeth but you want a 50 series JD my 3350 on 18.4 tyres with a 40k box does 29.5 mph on a GPS readout

of topic but what do you think of the farmall ? is it a U or a A

 

[Mur Huwcun]

Deutz Agroplus.

Governor can be tweaked to make them near enough 50k.

Anything over 2750 and it won’t last long!!
