Massey 6280?!

[Shane s]

Can any body help me out here, im thinking of going to look at a 6280 massey dynashift, i dont know anything about masseys but whats peoples thoughts and opinions on them

The tractor has 9k odd hours, is this something to worry about on these and what problems do they normally have

Also are they a handy tractor, her main duty will be mulching with a 9ft mulcher and bit of baling etc in summer

The tractor is right and tidy looking and tyres arnt to bad, whats the value of these?

Thanks for any help in advance

I had one new back in 2000, was a bloody great tractor
Handy, reliable and a pleasure to use

if its a rigid axle pinion shaft into the front axle wears .check roof between the hatches for rot apart from that if everything works it will be fine. normally a bullet proof tractor

alright what are the lift controls like, i currently have a valtra 8150 for mulching and its really handy with the rocker switch type of lift controls, only changing as valtra is giving bother

A rocker switch on the arm rest with up / neutral / down and a wheel on the side of the armrest to adjust the depth. Hydraulics are precise and draft control is very good.

With 9000 hours I would guess its only worth around £12k, maybe more if it's had an easy life and been well cared for.

the one i see advertised is 13,500 so she would be on the steep side of things, i dont know anything about masseys its just im looking a emergency tractor to stick on flotations for a year

Great tractor. Had one from 2000 to 2012. Very reliable. And sold it for the same price as I bought it for after 12 yrs. Was my last MF. Moved on now to Deutz and are even better tractors.
