Wtf does that have to do with it your speaking from your experience as an I regardless of who foots the bill 🙄 maybe you need to look at your “bits” behind the wheel a bit more closely
So a gearbox that is controlled by a ecu is broken by the driver ,dream on mate and buy your self a lottery ticket as sooner or later you will need a lottery win to run a dyna 6 tractor

There's a lot that a good driver with a bit of mechanical sympathy can do to help the Dyna 6 gearbox, especially road transport work on hills. One example is changing down to 3rd range when in 4b, with enough momentum, leaving it to the computer is just bad inexperienced driving.

Mf told us it is the up shift that is hard on the gearbox, not the down shift & on a dyna 6 box if you do not down shift with lots of momentum then you will end up going down hand fulls of gears instead on one or two , Every time our 3rd failed was in the field , when you went for 2 to 3rd gear not on the road. we all so never run them in auto & all ways used speed matching, but if we are inexperienced drivers we had better stick to the wheel barrow & fork then.

Dyna6 is brill in a 6480 only coz ive still got one & had an earlier version also.
Does Claas hexashift suffer the same problems?
dont you have a hexashift in the fleet somewhere or has that gone now also?
fancy the identical gbox not using the same software & the couple ive driven the shifts were far far faster in the claas & it gives less trouble?
there is no logic in this is there :X3:

The gearbox in a 76 is the same as in a 77 , I can tell by by the way you write things you are only the bit behind the wheel and not the man footing the repair bills or the cheque to buy a new one , I like mf tractors but not that dyna 6 gearbox it is very poor , we run a dyna vt and it has been trouble free .
What was the total cost to fix the tractor the 3 times your gearbox failed

think ive said it before the 40k version of the D6 gox as in my 6480 is worse for this 3rd to 4th gear up n down shifts if pulling heavy loads as 3F is faster than 4A so you can imagine if that go's wrong what could happen. iam more than fully aware of it tho, clocked over 10000hrs between two Tier3 6480s with identical boxes in.
