MF cab suspension, air vs springs?

[Rabbit Wolverine]

Sorry if this has been done before, but the compressor has failed on my 6480.
Been told a landrover comoressor works for a fraction of the price as a genuine one, or theres springs for similar money to the KR compressor.
One of my drivers suffers from a bad back so would the springs be equal or have superior ride quality as opposed to air bags?

MF Cab Suspension

We’ve got an elderly MF8480 with airbag cab suspension. The air systems packed up and I’ve been told you can replace the standard MF dampers with a Fendt one that has the springs in as well, to save all the air rubbish. Does anyone know what parts I need?

MF Air cab suspension

Hello, looking to run the cab suspension off the air brake system and was wondering what parts would be required to make this work? Any help much appreciated

MF 6400 air cab suspension bellows

Any one know where I can get one of these without having to pay hundreds of pounds extra for the privilege of having the official MF plastic wrapper it comes packaged in?.... Trying to cut back on my plastic waste of course

air brakes make the job quick and easy to stay on air for about £80
other wise your down to your other electric compressor

no experience on fitting springs

We put springs on our 6480, the ride seems fine, about the same I’d say.
