Mf 5600 air brakes

[beardface]

Anyone know if you could fit air brakes to a mf 5612 or 5613? On the list of possible used loader tractors, but could do with air for stock trailer.

Yeah you can but not sure on a price of a kit.
Tractair might do one to suit.

Yeh was thinking they'd do a kit, 6700 series seem to have air so similar engine I guess?

Get a 5712/13 air brakes come as standard

Went to look at 5612 yesterday linkage arms would only go down with weight on them. Expensive fix? Tidy otherwise with electric joystick.

Is it a dealer or private sale

Lift ram seals will need replacing, common fault.

My 5612 does the same.
Dealer came out and cleaned & lubricated all the pivot points.
Still need to stand on the link arms when starting from cold. Once going they work ok.
Only 1300 hrs on mine.
