@Massey 6470

 

[Lofty1984]

Got a 6716 and it’s doing well so far 600hrs

Have a 6718S and pleased with it, Dyna VT. Took a while to open out but now with 1500 hours its going really well. We've a 6480 with Sisu engine and it out performs it in the field on combi drill. Do a lot of fert spreading on contract with it, cab is ok, the push button lift is my biggest gripe, compared with 6480 rocker. Also Masseys CCD Datatronic is very dated now compared to other offerings although I think they may have a newer version with touchscreennow. Will be looking to swap 6480 later this year and another 4 cylinder option will be on the shortlist.

Have you not got the multicontroler

 

[Khan]

We do have the multicontroller but the waking up procedure has to be done every time you get off the seat, we spead a lot of fert on contract so in and out of tractor and arms up and down and lot. The 5480 it replaced it was just put rocker switch down, get out and fill spreader, back in then hit up and leave it up for the ATC.

We’ve put 1700hrs on a D6 6718S EX. Only one thing wrong with it, it’s a little less quiet than the 6616. More of an engine growl.
Fabulous loader tractor, smooth on the road, a really bonny tractor.

That'd be the very first thing I'd sort after buying it! Can't abide that sort of nannying control.

5713 here is the youngest and I don't need to do a waking up procedure every time I get out to refill

They are a good tractor, pull well but need revs to do so

Got a 6616 2300 hrs on goes well, only had to calibrate front suspension. 650 tyres, lots of power, plays with front and back mower conditioners, handy size tractor nowadays as 6 cylinders keep getting bigger. Just the usual MF fiddley buttons for arms and cluster on cab pillar for 4wd and lights where you have to look at what to press.
