New Holland T4B T6. Series

[Thomas5060]

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

This is the low roof and it has work lights on the roof.

Dual Power is still available on the T5 utility range, I would consider one but backend is too light for me.

Whats your reason for wantin low roof? Price difference or low buildings. Is it to replace the 7740 in your profile pic

I have the Case version,Maxxum 115,im guessing the NH 6.125s has no boost? Very pleased with ours,no doubt the dynamic command is nicer to use,but loads more money than Electrocommand,and unproven.No issues with ours after almost 1000hrs and very good on fuel,ad blu use is minimal.Does all my jobs with ease,Rp245 baler,2.5m combi drill and DP100 4f are its main jobs.

Low buildings and with the digger side of things we are often in driveways with low trees etc. Yea I’m gonna replace the 77 with her.

Yea no boost on the 125S. Is yours active 4 or active 8?
How do you find it power wise?

Often wondered if ye were buyin new tractors and changin them would it be more cost effective to buy smallest/cheapest tractor you could get of with for doin the work required and drive the shite outa her and change her once its ready to start givin trouble instead of buyin larger more capable tractor that would be lot more expensive to buy

Problem with that is you don’t know when it will start giving problems. Better to by a capable tractor and hopefully it won’t be abused and should last longer. Main jobs the 7740 does is dump trailer work, slurry with 2000 gallon tanker, drives a JF900, shifting diggers from 3-15 ton, mowing with a JD328 moco. 7740 manages fine although has its moments on the mower in terms of weight, that’s why I want to go abit heavier.

How do you know when it’s about to give trouble, infact you’d need even better foresight than that if you’re going to have a new tractor on order ready for delivery before your current one gives trouble.
I’d also say there’s a difference between working a small tractor hard and driving a tractor hard, there’s a difference between hard work and hard drivers.

I wouldnt be abusein the thing but was on the case ih configuration thing there and the difference in the price of a basic farmall 115 and a luxxum 120 is alot of money and was just wonderin would it not be more cost effective to buy the basic 1, drive it about 4000 hours and get shot of it

There’s a big difference in spec between a basic farmall and a luxxum. The Farmall is the same as a T5 utility and it is basically a rebadged T4

Yeah i know theres big fifference in 2 machines but was just wonderin what way it would work out £ per hour. Just fill tyres with water and screw her out and make her do the heavy work for while and get rid o her once the wear starts to appear

Interesting concept. If you can make that work you should also buy a tent, a Fez, a fake Ming beard, a bathrobe and a crystal ball and tour the ploughing matches.

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

You’d want a N not a A

Yea no boost on the 125S. Is yours active 4 or active 8?

Ours is active 4,loads of power for what I want but its boosting all the time on the combi and most of the time on the baler.Personally I would go for a 145 NH,cant be much more than a 125,boost being the only difference,ours was exactly £50k 18months ago,but it was a stock tractor,just happened to be near enough the spec I wanted.

Lovely tractor
That’s around the same money as the 125S I’m pricing. Have you got any suspension on yours? I’m thinking of going for front suspension.
Will see how much a 145, if too much more I will probably remap the 125

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?

Iv got one a 115 (in the avatar) the gear box is very good

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 think it is a little bit of a myth, I've been round the Basildon plant, and they build to extremely high standards. They assemble a lot more tractors at that plant than Austria, so law of averages says there will be slightly more disgruntled farmers, that you get to hear about.........Good luck with what ever you choose.

Of course it’s a myth, having been around the factory you will know that no parts are manufactured there. It is merely an assembly line of components shipped in in largely built up format, the transmissions come in complete, everything from the bell housing through to the back end allready built up. Yes there’s quite a few components put on there but basically it’s just the bits used to join the engine, transmissions, cab and axle along with fitting wheels, not much to affect the mechanical reliability of the tractor yet some are adamant that tractors out of the one factory are better built than others.

 

[Drillman]

Whilst we’re touching on the Red V Blue subject is there really much difference between them mechanically or is it just cosmetic bits, paint colour and control layout?

Them new maxxums are quite big lookkin compared to older models. Is that coz o al the emissions stuf they put under bonnet
