New Holland t6.175

[Deepseaman]

What are these tractors like , been looking at second hand Deere’s but price and spec this one is a fair bit ahead , but we are unfamiliar with NH . On the specs online , rear lift only 3.5t , yet 6830 deere is 8t , is this correct?
What are they like to operate , reliable ? The one we are looking at has 6.5 k hours 50 k trans , loader etc.
Guess bottom line is how do they compare to john Deere 6030 series ? As we really like john Deere , but they seem a bit over priced .
Thanks

We had 1. I don't like the whiny electro command gearbox.

Be a step down from 30 series.

I am an NH man but you won’t like a T6 if you are used to 30 series Deeres.The electrocommand gearbox is strong and reliable but not as smooth as powerquad.

Good tractor whiny gearbox. Better engine than a deere

If it was me id be givin the extra money for the green

We have a 20 series JD and a T6 175DC. Both are really good yet very different. Pays your money.,,,
I like the little sticker which says “manufactured in the UK”.

I wouldn’t even entertain electro command.
Isn’t a 6830 quite a bit larger than a T6? I’d have thought T7 a more suitable alternative...

Back in 2014 we bought a t6.175 electro command, sent it back after 2 weeks due to the god awful whiny gearbox. Bought a new shape one in 2018 with the dynamic command and it’s a cracking tractor. Great engines etc but I wouldn’t touch electro command with a barge pole

Hows the reliability on the new tranny? I ask as yesterday i seen a local 145 maxxum active 8 down the road revving its head of doin around walkin speed. Musta been stuck in low range

No bother so far. Don't panic me. It puts it's power down very well. Hardly use the clutch pedal, just on start-up really.

Not sure why quite so much hatred towards the old CNH gear box, I genuinely do think they were more whiney in an NH for some reason?!

We put 8500hrs on one and got another currently at 7200hrs but we have since moved to CVX now and wont be going back. Have tried the Dynamic command/Active drive 8 and whilst it was a very nice gear box indeed I still wont be swayed away from a vario now.

How come it didnt seem soo whiney in a 40 series or a ts 115

 

[balerman]

Haven’t they cut the gears differently lately to stop the whine? I seem to remember they are or were straight cut .Our 18 plate Maxxum only whines a bit in 7 and 11

Same as my 2019 T6 then

Is it difficult to entertain electro command ? Does it get bored easily ?

Seems to be bored all the time Judging by all the whining and twining it does

I don’t really notice the whine in our T6.155, the whine from the fan however does my head in!

I find the gearbox simple & reliable and don’t really get the moaning about them. 1st world problems I guess
