MF 200hp + what to look for?

[Speedstar]

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.

Does Claas hexashift suffer the same problems?

 

[ccp contracting]

7720 is really only 180 hp 200hp on boost MF use a different hp rating compared to other makes . Get a 7722 .

not so much as it has different soft ware to work it

 

[tr250]

The later 77 tractors with 2 screens suffer from software problems with the gps systems in them

At last something I agree with you on

 

[Farma Parma]

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

i'll just have to correct that fact here
the now discontinued 7720S is 200hp rated & 225hp on full boost (EPM)
It is however rated at 180pto hp.

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

 

[Speedstar]

more than the tractor was worth to sell by a long way , gearbox was out 4 times in total

do you ever get all that boost ?

 

[Farma Parma]

do you ever get all that boost ?

be like the rest id pretty much say, above 16kph & also under full pto load.

 

[Farma Parma]

do you ever get all that boost ?

not when doing heavy draught work id imagine which is when most of us would actualy like it on.... you cant win

 

[ccp contracting]

That is iso . max hp not ece rated hp.

 

[Wellytrack]

Oh my.

Whatever you do don’t challenge @Speedstar to show his working out. He won’t like that. He won’t like that at all...

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.
