New Holland T4B T6. Series

[Thomas5060]

How are people getting on with the latest models? Specifically the 4cyl, Electro Command models. Probably going to order a T6.125S, just would like some user feedback.
And no I don’t want to consider any other brands.

I hear Valtra are better!! Seriously though know a couple of guys with case equivalent and they're more than pleased. You know what you're getting, unfortunately there is always the odd lemon.

 

[Drillman]

it Won’t do 29mpg and will cost more than £20 in repairs!

it also won’t be properly engineered

and there is a great danger of the seat armrests folding up the wrong way, the PUH may well fall off and the oil filter might explode.

but apart from those minor details I would go for it.

Edit- oh did I mention that apparently it will have boost because unlike a sissy engine it won’t have any torque?

and if it was a Fendt the cost of ownership would be cheaper.

and if it was a Claas according to a certain salesman it would improve your sex life??

 

[The Badger]

I’d consider valtra , just cause they’re awesome apparently

 

[Thomas5060]

I had considered Valtra as the dearest repairs only cost £20, but the thought of changing gears with a set of crowbars doesn’t appeal to me.

considered deutz but I do a lot of road work and want something that will retain its front axle when breaking.

Massey is out the window because the salesman is a stroker

John Deere is over priced, as with fendt.

As for Claas, don’t know any decent , Claas salesmen..... @The Badger

Apparently Blue ones built in Basildon aren’t as mechanicaly reliable as Red ones built in Austria out of the same components largely assembled before they ever reach the factory’s.

I will maybe price a case but last time I did they were way out price wise, a basic Farmall 105C was £3k more than the T5.105 EC we bought, which was a full spec tractor

Valtras dont change gear with gearsticks anymore. Have you actually demoed other makes? Personally i wouldnt buy a cnh but if i was id be buyin a case luxxum of cowans as it be betr tractor way zf tranny than sle or range command. Wouldnt be goin near kennedys way john mcallister or noel i think hes called

 

[jondear]

What about a T6 with Dynamic command much better gearbox .

 

[daveydiesel1]

Know local lass has maxxum 145 active 8 or whatever its called. Likes it alot but not out long enough to get clear picture about reliability

The Active 8 box is really nice, I think it's the maxxums with it now they can remove the whole gearbox assembly out the side and don't need to split the tractor if it goes wrong. I'd think should reduce the cost of repairs?

Have used my mates Same Virtus 130, not a bad tractor, a lot better than his Deutzs. Would I buy one? Probably not.
Yea but the luxxum has the wee 3.4L engine, had a tractor powered by one and it was ok but not a massive fan, that’s why I will be going up to the 4.5L engined T6 series. If I could I would buy a dual power T6 but not made anymore so SLE it is. What is your problem with Kennedeys? We have had no bother with them. Noel is our salesman and he is 100%.

Would probably make the tractor much dearer with that gearbox? Plus I would need to go up to a 145 to get dynamic command. Before long a 50 grand tractor is 60 grand or maybe more.

CNH gearbox is horrible compared to valtras hitec 5

don’t think you can get a stick shift anymore ?

Still a stick shift in the A series with the option of Hi tech 4.

We had a 7610thst came friom nelson alexander and didnt have a toplink with it and me da called in to kennedys 1 night and got toplink and said hed call in at end o week and pay them. Well john mcallister was in our yard at half 8 next mornin wantin paid, thought that was pretty tight, valtra a series is same as massey global which isnt really fair comparison to nh t6, would be mf 57 or 67 series to compare to

 

[daveydiesel1]

Also what spec is the tractor your pricin and what you gettin quoted for it if you dont mind tellin the rest o us? Just for pure noseyness lol

An A124 with the hi tech 4 gear box, and the right spec would be very similar to a T6.125 I would of thought.
Getting the full spec tomorrow, but on the basic spec that came with the price it has 520 and 420 tyres, LP roof, push out hitch, 3 spools and air con. I wont put prices on here. Not least until I’ve done a deal.

 

[daveydiesel1]

Is the lp roof the same as a maxxum xline of old and a t6 delta i think it was called way only front spots on handrail and not on roof? Also when did cnh stop supplyin dual power tractors here? I see on website they still do them in countries that doesnt have all these emission rules. Thats 1 gripe i have way tractor manufacturers that they take the basic things of the options list, doesnt take any more money to giv customers the choice of already existing stuf aswel as the new designed stuf
