smallest 50kph tractor?

[v8willy]

Speed needs power!

Very true.

 

[ollie989898]

only 1 legal to do 50kph is a fastrac

Nuffield 10/60 .

Liked that but got a scare on one as a 16 year old fitted with a BMC 6 cylinder revving it's tits off.

I’ve got a 6150.4 deutz for sale 50km gearbox very compact tractor not much bigger than a 7610 ford but 150hp its a 2016 machine if you’re interested.

 

[Wellytrack]

Think you’re into 500 series territory. Like a 512 would be the “smallest”. Still not really that small @ 6.5 ton empty. Actually they will run to 55 kph as if that means anything.

I thought the 300 series was 50k but they’re only a 40k box. I just had a quick sqwoogly

Missed a trick there surely.

Sure does. Double the speed, quadruple the power

Thanks for the replies , really useful pointers on here.

I understand entirely what you mean but a 130 model is pretty much going to be the exact same physical size as a 150 model.

I know that's not an awful lot of help to you nor answers your question though.

this is the problem,(much to the disgust of some folk) I don't really need 150hp on a tedder! but we have bits of grass dotted everywhere so it would be handy to get between, also end up on some busy roads too

its fine if you live in a very flat area but if you wanna stay near 50k you need some power to do it

it doesn't come much flatter that Cambridgeshire . I don't mind being a bit slower with a load on but its frustrating when empty or solo !

seriously the 2130 / 2140 would probably be a contender (just starting to get a bit long in the tooth now), I guess they dropped it because of all the other manufactures making tractors like in this thread. it seems silly that the smallest is 160hp . at what point is 160hp "entry level"??

Wouldn't worry about it.

The way modern tractors are the extra ponies are easily carried. May as well have them.

They carry the flab, so may as well carry the ponies too. Paying for them is another matter....

I said this in here a couple of years ago but I was truly shocked to see how utterly massive a 6613 (I think) was side to side with a 4370 in a dealers yard. Yes they are as far away from each other as anything can be possibly be whilst still wearing red paint but I remember when that 6 cylinder 120hp 4370 was a big tractor.

You are of course 100% right. Don't notice how big (and heavy) modern tractors have become, until you put them side by side.

 

[Wim3065]

A good old Fendt 509C?

 

[trook135]

John Deere 6125R or 6130R would be very good candidates, tried a 6125R last harvest (brought the header over on a demo combine) absolute pocket rocket!! And very nimble,
a mate of mine has a 6115R that is autopowr and 50kph with a loader, definitely not used to its fullest but useful none the less.
Very good friend of mine has just bought a 6130R, autoquad, 50kph and a loader, uses it for everything you could think of, very handy tractor

 

[e3120]

Sure does. Double the speed, quadruple the power

If air resistance is significant, then maybe yes, but at tractor speeds? Power is force x velocity so in a simple 'pulling up a hill' case, double speed only needs double power.

Wouldn't normally doubt you

They can laugh all they like. JCB Fastracs have been the most reliable tractors we have ever known.
Of all three green ones, the best by far was the Duetz.

 

[J 1177]

A near neigbour has a well specced JD 6320 50k, cost a bit at the time as it was an unusual order and everyone thought it would be flat but it's a little rocket.

 

[oldoaktree]

Leyland 262H

In reverse

 

[RH15LEW]

JD 6r 4 cyl models can be specced 50k

 

[Exfarmer]

I am amazed that so many on here who would be horrified if I suggested buying a NZ lamb joint for my supper suggest anything but the only LEGAL tractor do this task.
A Fastrac is the only tractor fit for the job!

It depends. Where i come from you're allowed to do 60km/h on "standard" tractor and 80km/h on Fastrac.
