Mf 6290

[Manny]

I have just been asked to look at a mf6290 for a friend. At this point I need to explain I know little more about mf other than they are red! What are the good, bad and ugly things about them and what do I need to be looking out for when looking at it? Thank in advan for any help.

Check the roof for rust as its prone to rust around the sun roof. Check the elc is working correctly and the 4wd shaft for play

Check the PTO works correctly underload if possible!!!!!!!!!!!

Meant to be one of the best tractors Massey ever made. I've got a 6280 and it's been totally reliable to date, think I've only had to put a water pump on it. Can't honestly think of any specific weaknesses, they sound proper as well.

If it’s anything like the 8200 if it’s the worst case scenario and the pto clutch is goosed it’s a piece of cake to replace the discs? It pulls straight off the arse end?

Easier than a Davy Brown then?

No, 6200 will be 3000 series heritage, pack will be in front of the pinion shaft by the handbrake discs. Still not impossible to do though.

This is with the LH side plate off for handbrake discs renewal
