New Holland T4B T6. Series

@daveydiesel1 do you have an account with Kennedy's? Can't imagine you'd be able to walk out of any shop without paying for something on the strength of saying I'll pay by end of week. We all know what a farmer's end of week turns into!

Na we dont have an account way kennedys but we had bought a new baler from them about a year b4 that. They were also tryin to sell us a new tm 190 but needless to say that didnt help ther cause and the man that works the parts counter lives about half a mile from us

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

Nope it's just got ad blue on the side nothing much more under the bonnet than the previous nh. It's a sizable tractor mind, compared to the old 5130 I have. It does look more compact with the loader off

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?

Not a lot I don’t think, a T6 is a maxxum, a T7 is a puma, sure they’re a different colour and have different styling and a different cab layout but beneath the surface they’re the same allthough I don’t think NH have a direct comparison to one of the smaller case ranges.

Come to think of it, NH have released a smaller 6 pot T6, Case only have the maxxum 150 as a 6 pot which is equivalent to a T6-180

The newer 4 pots , eg , the 115 have a spacer between the engine and gearbox making them the same length as the 6 pot, it’s predecessor the 110 was about 6/8 inches shorter.

Kennedy's must have had their reasons they don't just do things for no reason. Like I said go into the local Tesco and walk out with £100 of goods without paying and let us know how you get on!

I was under the impression the maxxum and puma was just a red nh. Range/power command and sle were all nh/ford/fait derived. Only proper case left are magnum and stx/quadtrac and the luxxum is a steyr

Well fair enough every company is run differently and we all have our own opinion about them

 

[fiatf130]

[daveydiesel1]
