New tractors - Are they all dull to drive?

[kevindb880]

Just taken delivery of a new JD6155m, don’t get me wrong it’s a nice tractor but when compared to the previous 6630 it’s a bit dull to drive. I know they are not allowed to smoke when worked hard (which is quite right) but the engine has no bark to it at all in fact you can hardly hear what it’s doing and you only know it’s working hard when you look at the screen and it shows the revs are dropping.
When driving the old 6630 I very often opened the side window to hear the lovely bark of the engine!
Are all new tractors the same?

Out of interest what’s the price of the 155m version

You should be used to no bark, driving a David Brown!
And I should know as I have two!

 

[kevindb880]

The Brown has more bark than the deere!

Yeah dull as dishwater !!!

Give me a 20 series all day long now they're went well and sounded good

I liked my 6930s as they were the first autopowers we had but the last 2 6920's I had could pull we've had nowt new since that's halfway impressive!!!

I liked my CIH 1056 now that had character!

My maxxum is a nice tractor really smooth and quiet but i know what u mean. My 08 reg 6480 is different, pulls well and has a lovely exaust note, puts a smile on your face type tractor. So much so the wife has claimed it as hers.

You should try my JD 7820 that growl can be heard for miles when I'm ploughing lots of locals often say on a still night it xounds great about 3 miles away

Neighbour had a CIH956 turned up to a 1056, that had a flame out of the exhaust and looked wicked in the dark! Gone are the days!

 

[KB6930]

There used to be a big farm near that ran 3350 and 956 turbos sounded amazing

The best was our neighbour in the 80s that had an FW60 and TW FORDS

 

[kevindb880]

I believe it was in the 80 region but could be wrong!

Totally agree. We have 3 case pumas cvx and they are great tractors but really dull to drive. I take the 6910 out of choice

Just turn the radio up to drown out those nagging thoughts of cost of depreciation.....

 

[Wurzeetoo]

To be honest everything bar serious money is mundane these days. Wife’s American colleague commented last week she’s always dreamed of owning a Ford Mustang…….. so now their employer is running a tax free offering she’s finally ordered herself an electric one!

You don't need to drive them, just sit there and steer.

Exactly boring!

Just wait a while until the engines bedded in and the head gasket let's off that popular popping noise and the pistons and cylinders need replacing just like one I know has just done!

The noise of the chair creaking as you sit down to open the bill will be earth shattering and definitely not boring

Our 844 did that until I put a turbo on it. It doesn't look as good at night now but I'm told it has a unique sound
