What's wrong with the deere command arm? I quiet like the idea of having everything on the armrest so everything moves when you swivel the seat.No, unfortunately

Everything was massey here since the 500 series up until fairly recently, last massey to come here was a 5613 which I absolutely hated and had to go within a few minutes months.Wev been massey for years now with only a couple of non mf intruders thrown in but i dont see us buyin a post dynashift massey tbh way u, since the introduction of dyna6 massey has lost a great amout of thier local market share around us for new sales mostly to jd and imho its no wonder as the finished product is just not up to the same standard
what was it that you hated so much I've a 5612 and really like it .Everything was massey here since the 500 series up until fairly recently, last massey to come here was a 5613 which I absolutely hated and had to go within a few minutes months.
I’m still drawn to masseys like a fly to sh!t but sit in the cab of a new one for a short while and I’m getting out thinking don’t want one of them.
Love my 6200 series, would buy a new one of them today over anything on the market.
Also like my fairly basic 7480 without any extra electric gubbins, manual spools and no datatronic screen, there is no longer a basic version of the dyna vt and even if there was I don’t like the modern cab layout .
Newest tractor here is a Case, I could write an essay on what is wrong with it but I certainly wouldn’t swap it for anything massey make at the moment
its a min of £5k in main dealers labour just too split one & shut it back up again & thats before you fit any parts !A very good mate of mine who has previously worked a mechanic for MF, JD and NH dealers (he has been service manager at NH dealer) told me that in his opinion the Dyna6 box is one of the most reliable boxes he has worked on and the easiest to rebuild and setup.
He reckons a farmer with a bit of mechanical knowledge could rebuild a Dyna6 box on farm
i had my 6490 3rd gear syncro done in the spring, parts and labour and vat 3.5kits a min of £5k in main dealers labour just too split one & shut it back up again & thats before you fit any parts !
there wont be many who would attempt this id bet on farm with basic mechanic skills
that 3rd gear issue has been a real hassle for more people than we get to hear about.
Massey always play it down but ive heard of loads doing it & all the bigger chassis models
never the 6480 size.
not all places charging the same then ive heard easily double thati had my 6490 3rd gear syncro done in the spring, parts and labour and vat 3.5k
Should give his details to @SpeedstarA very good mate of mine who has previously worked a mechanic for MF, JD and NH dealers (he has been service manager at NH dealer) told me that in his opinion the Dyna6 box is one of the most reliable boxes he has worked on and the easiest to rebuild and setup.

Thanks but ,Dyna vt is the way forwardShould give his details to @Speedstar
Cab layout and gearbox, never did get to the bottom of how to use the gearbox despite studying the handbook on numerous occasions, a big fail in my book, it just wasn’t simple to select a start off gear to match varying loads, you either seemed to be trying to start off in too high a gear or working up through too many gears, compared to my tractors with the proper dynashift it was awful.what was it that you hated so much I've a 5612 and really like it .
bought it second hand to replace a 5455
it spent all summer on sprayer
spraying potatoes found it more comfortable and quieter than 5455
How much an hour is the dealers over with you?its a min of £5k in main dealers labour just too split one & shut it back up again & thats before you fit any parts !

Guessing no much change outta £60/65 unless you ask you never know every invoice ive ever had in last 30+ years never says how many hours spent on a jobHow much an hour is the dealers over with you?
What makes the 3rd gear fault in a Massey any worst than the 50k bearing going in a new Holland.
If both are got in time the repair bill is greatly reduced.
just like a powr quad thenA very good mate of mine who has previously worked a mechanic for MF, JD and NH dealers (he has been service manager at NH dealer) told me that in his opinion the Dyna6 box is one of the most reliable boxes he has worked on and the easiest to rebuild and setup.

Are you invested in his interests or what as you seen to repeat anything he says as if it was gospel.Guessing no much change outta £60/65 unless you ask you never know every invoice ive ever had in last 30+ years never says how many hours spent on a job
just a Labour amount written in after job description & good parts markup also, there all the same pick any dealer & any colour
Speedstar could write a book on Dyna-6 repairs & big big money.
Ask the Claas men & hardly hear of the same gbox giving issues on theres (Hexashift)
most of massey's issue seems too be software iam afraid.
power shift & gear changes all way diff on both brands.
when mine was done i was told changing down between 4 and 3rd range without holding it back on the brakes with heavy loads does the damage to the syncroAre you invested in his interests or what as you seen to repeat anything he says as if it was gospel.
The gearbox fails in a class tractor too it's more the fact there is of less the tractors about.
It's a bearing that fails in the gearbox.have you seen one in pieces. I don't believe software causes it to fail
my 6480 is 99% the time in Auto mode for gears & maybes coming from 4f to 3f in manual is the problem?>when mine was done i was told changing down between 4 and 3rd range without holding it back on the brakes with heavy loads does the damage to the syncro
