Was told by a man in the know that a local 8s that has featured in some of grassmen videos has siezed the gearbox. Obviously warranty job but reckoned if payin dealer to sort it with a service exchange unit the bill would be around 25k

It wont be the only one id say. Dyna7 has issues allready oh dear MF

So bad they've just bought another one?

Sometimes that’s the only way out.
I had one of the first 6100 series that was extremely troublesome, was offered a deal to change at 2 years old at a price that I couldn’t refuse, simply having another 2 years warranty was worth the money alone.

They have 2 mf 8s tractors now if I'm guessing right with the company Davies speaking about.

Well at the end of the day its not the customer thats havin to fork out to fix it so why not buy another. Im not sayin it is that bad or runnin the product down as all brands break down. Was only merely contributin what i was told to this thread but as usual the messenger gets shot

Most people are waiting for the dyna vt gearbox that’s one of the reasons there’s only a few been sold around here. Dyna 7 has the same problems the dyna 6 has its good on smaller tractors but not strong enough on higher hp as with most makes of tractor

The DynaVT is being delivered. This is one of them

This one is a Dyna7

They both have the rear wheels set narrow for transport and the steps stick out further, so they need widening and the tractors will look the better for it.

That really could do way higher tyres to set it off

They look odd with small wheels and tyres

They are 650/65R42, so much bigger than they look. What they do need is to be widened out to within an inch or two of being flush with the mudguards, which would fill them out substantially. No point leaving them at the factory setting because the bottom step sticks out at least four inches either side. All but the bottom step are attached directly to the fuel tank, which is one of the features that I noticed. This was last Thursday and these are the first two I’ve actually seen in the metal. If I was twenty years younger I’d be buying that 240hp DynaVT one.

Now they have a few in might actually get a demo of one

even worse with them set well inside rear wings & i hate front ones not set right from factory.
Fendt are masters at getting front n rear just right & you never need touch them.
Massey still not sussed that out yet.

Not hard to sort yourself though is it

Not the fronts no but the rears there isnt much you can do
The Front fenders on them 8S aint even following the profile of the tyre right
Fendt & Deere do them right & there the only ones that do

Afaik the 77 series had the steps on the fuel tank aswel. Aww ye may splash out. 1 thing i noticed about them is the buttons on the hitch release lever for the arms and the hitch in and out which is a big improvement and long overdue
