The Demo Thread

What you revving them too tho Dave? have you got taller tyres as on them also?
None of all the Dynashifts here did much more than 25mph mind & that was flatoot
3095/6180 & 6290 we had all from new

The 6485 was a 40kph eco so revs out in top gear now the 8130 has bigger tyres and revs to 2400

Not all of them but some dynashift you get 4c at full revs and 4d at 1700 so if you Rev it to full revs in 4d they do 50kph

wey i never knew that. good on ya

 

[daveydiesel1]

Yes our 6499 did 43k at 2000 rpm

Been 2 very successful demos round here this summer. The rep reckons they’ll last two combines though ?

I guess that depends how long you keep a combine

720 walks all over a a MF 7618 & is not far off a 7620 at pulling trailers or tankers on the road & a 5 furrow plough in the field

You'd hope a 720 would outdo a 7618, it's got more power and is about £50k more to buy!

 

[Spud]

Its not the pullin of the plough thats the problem its the liftin it. Iv a 5465 on a heavy 4 furrow and it struggles big time to lift it

A 5465 is a 300series type back end which is quite light. A 6465 will have more lift

We used to have a big heavy fully mounted Dowdeswell plough which a 6480 wouldn't lift, but 7480 (Fendt back end) played with by comparison

No the 5465 is a french built tractor with a backend similar to a 6270

My apologies - all the 54 series I've seen are top link sensing. The 62 & 64's all lower link sensing

 

[daveydiesel1]

Yes shes top link sensing but the castings and assistor rams etc are more like a 62 series. Top link sensing is electronic though

With the fpt engine and the zf vario, does that make the McCormick a poor mans claas??

 

[seedman stains]

It would surprise you how little the difference is!

Been told by a jd man that bought a mccorrmick that it was over 30k cheaper and it was higher spec for a 140hp 4pot x7

Demo day here. The drill not the tractor, but it made an interesting change from our red ones. Impressed with the drill especially as we started pretty wet. Would like to have tried the discs in front of the coulters, but they only had the legs unfortunately. Will see how it comes up.
