Please Don't, i love my old MF35 3 cylinder, its recently being taken out of semi retirement to go on the sheep yard scraperSomeone could start a thread about massey 35's and it would get dragged back to 7600 gearboxes

no interest in a gearbox like that once you have had a vario you would never buy any thing else

It'd be hard to go away from vario.

Completely agree as things stand...
Plenty say oh they say more power..
Buy more power then.
to be able to go any speed vs revs to match the job is quite unique & too those who havnt operated tractors like this, you would really struggle to go back to any sort of fixed gear trans
unless you just cant get your head around how to use a CVT correctly.
The Cruise control feature in a Massey & be the same in a Fendt as well as many other brands iam sure can be set at any point to move in increments of 0.01kph right from 0.01 to 53kph
If there was a better gbox why isnt fendt using it?
good luck to massey but i'll put money on there wont be any more in sold than previous models & quite a few have been lost to Fendts in very recent times.
Maybes there is a newer version of Fendts Vario with a single gear in them like the 1000 series & poss 900 series are now #unsure.

Does anyone know how is it compared size wise to a 6250r?

good question atleast a 8S.265 would give one a run surely? maybes not so much a 205 mind.
but physical size i dont think is that different. i could be wrong.
That Cab just dwarfs the rest of it just my thoughts.

- 250 hp rated power (97/68/EC) + 40 hp IPM
- 6,8 l engine with 6 cylinders
- 9,3 t and 2,9 m wheelbase
8S is 10t rear lift with 3.05m wheelbase off my head.
7.4lt engine
Afaik its no smaller than that Deere just you would need the biggest hp model to match it

Twin Turbos on the Deere also, more to go wrong i guess.
and i'll bet its a shed load more expensive than even the 8S.265 in full spec

It seems to be a cracking tractor and with a much better price I guess..

I have to say it's growing on me. At first I wasn't impressed with the styling but now I'm thinking it's bold, innovative and a welcome change. Any more pics inside and out?
Nearly 100 hours on the clock now, first impressions are good tractor but taking some getting used too power shift after being vario for 4 years
