Valtra N Series,

You'll here everything about everything but they are the king of the 4 pot frame. Versu spec few options, job done. You won't look back

Valtra N with full suspension and loader joystick on the armrest you’ll never want to get out of it.. I just leave mine in auto most the time now the gearbox is that smooth

I was in a similar situation with a t6050. I liked the tractor itself and it's size for loader work, I swapped it for a case 115 active 8 direct drive. Completely different gearbox and feels way better put together than the nh. I suppose a big consideration for you is what is the dealer backup like in your area for different makes.
They all go wrong.

Absolutely the smoothest, most comfortable 4 cylinder tractor I've ever driven.

Direct Vario gearbox makes any job a joy.

You look for an excuse to go drive the thing.

But don't tell anyone, or everybody will want one ?

Powerquad is the transmission that it has and is a super transmission

 

[seedman stains]

What about the new little blue with the cvx box it should be a good tractor

[addy the daddy]

Absolutely bomb proof gearbox , gutsy tractors those 6320, the next door neighbour has one,he was in my yard today with it very capable tractors that punch above their weight

......for the 90's when stiring a big gearlever and not having speed-matching was accepted.
It is 2020 now and things have moved on a fair bit.

what does bomb proof mean nowadays? We had one a 10 series with 7000 hours. Low pressure light on in 4th power quad. Ok that was clutch plate seals, so fair enough. Wearing part and do pack seals while in there. Also machine pump face as that will be worn, something else as well while it was split.
Jumped out of f range when braking down hill. Asked mechanic, yeah that’s such and such, common problem. Difficulty selecting range, oh that’s such and such, common problem.
seemed to be quite a lot of common problems for a “bombproof” transmission. Fair enough, none of these issues stopped the tractor at any time, but just to be clear to the op, they do wear and may need the gearbox removed and maintained from time to time.
all depends what the tractor has been doing, and who has been driving it.

John deere 6130m..

Cracking loader tractor, and highly capable too..

Powerquad gearbox, may be a bit old hat, but it is great to drive !

Class arion 440 / 450 are damn good too..


Guess it ultimately comes down to the budget... although if I found a 6320 with 600 hours on it I'd snap it up pretty quick !!

 

[MF 168]

I'd probably go with a few of the above posts and say Valtra N series. Very capable machines.

It's not a very common occurance with a power quad as it is with say a vario. Usually they are a very reliable box

Just traded in a 6030 for a valtra. Before that a T7.235 for a valtra can you see a pattern emerging?

 

[Muddyroads]

Depends on proximity to dealerships for backup, budget and personal preference. I’ve run an MF 5713 for just over 2 years having run a 5613 for 3 years before it. Very much like it. It’s the only tractor I run on 400 acres mostly grassland farm and do a bit over 1000 hours/ year with it.
