I’ve been looking for something similar to a 6430/6420s with a loader but they are big money even with high hours. I would also have a Valtra
New Tractor and Loader
- Thread starter farmer lad
- Start date
Hurlimann is well worth a look , a very well specked loader tractor, can have stop and go, quick steer, various hydraulic flow options, good well laid out cab for a loader tractor, independent true four wheel braking and now have a 110 hp non adblue model available now as well.

The valtra N series are a great loader tractor with the best shuttle on the market, great visibility and light on fuel , the older model 6550 s can be found with 20,000 hrs with little trouble.

I think I would actually rather have a valtra than a jd for reliability as it’s just a livestock farm tractor although a fairly busy one. Is the 6550 type a lot worse to drive visibility etc ?

6845 then 7045 then 7245 gave up after that

Could have been 7040 not sure
No the 6550 would have the same visibility as the jd6330 , the new JD are a lot worse with their big square bonnet.

I disagree, Massey has the best shuttle on the market.

Ever drilled a hole in a Zetor? It’s like drilling holes in bales of silage. The metal is sh!t

It was dearer to run than case/New Holland for us. Parts cheaper but needed twice as many
Massey can never match valtra for lifespan and reliability .
I never said for lifespan, I said for best shuttle, it's the same sisu engine in the newer Massey as the valtra and I bet the newer valtras are not a patch on reliability of the older ones over their lifespan and your going to hear about Massey breakdowns more cause they probably sell 20 times the amount valtra sell.

Are Masseys and valtras not just the same engines and parts but dressed up differently nowadays ?
No apart from the engine and tyres everything else is differant and I've heard that the sisu engine used by Massey is from a differant factory with a differant spec than what's used in valtra.

Ignore the above drivel.
Have fun with that horrendous hi-tec gearbox on the older n series. On the bright sight, it did take the attention off of the stupidly layed out side console.

Looks like your obviously looking new however we have a NH 5070 and it’s great I think. We have dual power model . Simple H pattern gearbox and only two step cab . Really handy with a loader. Never given bother .
We also had a NH T5070 with a loader on it. We also found it great as a loader, PDI Dyno'ed at 122hp! It was an animal of a tractor, with wheel weights on it, it was then quite stable, Dual power and the power clutch button for clutch less stick changes made it easy to drive. We swapped it for a T6 as we were doing increasing amounts of arable field work with it, still miss it though!
Nice T5000 tractors with and without loaders are still about for not vast amounts of money.
