MF 565 vs MF 575

[Benr]

Would a 565 have the same lift capacity as a 575.
Looking for a tractor to run a hustler bale unroller , we have had it on a 575 in the past and it was fine and have seen a tidy 565 in a sale tomorrow but want to check it has the same hydraulic capacity.
Also ideally want 2 DA spool so can put a hydraulic top link on. Is it much to add a DA spool?

250kg difference in lift capacity according to these

 

[ford4000]

Quite a difference in the tractors weight too

 

[Benr]

Do you think that is right. As the pump pressure and flow rate is the same. Apparently it’s the same engine but derated

 

[SMID]

Slightly lighter lower links and drop arms with the drop arms attached closer to the rear axle is just enough to reduce the 565 lift capacity the back end casings are just the same.

I reckon the 575 weight is wrong,a 4wd version wouldn't be 3640kg

A lot of details on that site makes you think if it's right

You can move the drop arms futher back the arms

Pressure too low, flow too high. Ignore the whole thing.

They are both fairly similar
As far as spool valves go you really want to get one with the auxiliary pump, they usually do have spool valves
If you want to fit spool valves they are the same kontak valves fitted on 200/500/600 series so plenty available in breakers yards

Thought the 575 had an assister ram and the 565 didn't

None of the 500 series had assist rams as standard. The lift capacity of all but the 595 would be considered inadequate today, but having said that, the 590 could lift a ton set of discs. Not much more though. if I remember correctly the official lift capacities vertically on the ball ends were, in pounds…
565. 3600
575. 4000
590. 4900

Our 575 had an assisted ram, we fitted it.
It struggled with a four furrow reversible without

i bet it did!

Thank you. Going to have a go at it, spoken to them this morning. Been on the same farm since new and has 2 double acting spools.
Hopefully it will lift it!!!

 

[Welderloon]

It will be fine, might need to hang some weight off the front of it if the bales are particularly heavy

 

[Bumble Bee]

I'm sure we has 2 assistor rams fitted to our 575's so they would lift a 1000l hardi sprayer and a 12 row beet drill. The relief valve was always squealing in protest.

How did the tractor sell after.

 

[Benr]

It made £6k plus £250 commission. So I left it as it would have ended up being £6750.
I am not in a mad rush so think I can find something better

 

[bill and bens dad]

yea,get a 590
