only 1 legal to do 50kph is a fastrac
Nuffield 10/60 .
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
Sure does. Double the speed, quadruple the powerSpeed needs power!
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 tooI 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.
its fine if you live in a very flat area but if you wanna stay near 50k you need some power to do it
He said he wanted a tractor. Not to be laughed at by all his mates.
Thanks for the replies , really useful pointers on here.

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"??
They carry the flab, so may as well carry the ponies too. Paying for them is another matter....Wouldn't worry about it.
The way modern tractors are the extra ponies are easily carried. May as well have them.

You are of course 100% right. Don't notice how big (and heavy) modern tractors have become, until you put them side by side.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.
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.Sure does. Double the speed, quadruple the power
They can laugh all they like. JCB Fastracs have been the most reliable tractors we have ever known.He said he wanted a tractor. Not to be laughed at by all his mates.

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