Trailed forage harvesters

[jf850]

Few from first cut. Water pump went on 7740 so had to finish with the 6470.

Would the 6470 not be the tractor to use anyway ? Possibly 30 hp stronger ?

It’s not mine, had to borrow it off a friend. In all honesty there was nothing between it and the 7740, if I’m being truthful the 7740 hung on a little bit better but then again it is tweaked a little

How much is a little...

Started off as standard as 93 at shaft, dealer tweaked her to 103, and then I gave her the same again, and then again.... so I’m guessing she’s around 120-130 at the shaft.

I thought you had a flywheel jag?

Sold it last year with the flywheel bearing gone in it for £300 more than I paid for

Generally they don't go much above 125, unless you've got one that was worked hard from new. You never seem to get two powerstars the same, I think the way they are run in determines how they perform

That seems the old Skool way to use trailed machine,

She must be up around the 125 mark anyway.
All I know about the previous history is she came from an arable farm in Yorkshire

This years upgrade!

Saves a driver and a tractor plus I know exactly where the trailer is, old school when you can reverse the rig where you want it

Hard to know what it did then. A purely arable workload should've been kind to it but a Yorkshireman might have bought it to do the work of an 8340...

It came in skinny tyres, toolbox was full of sprayer nozzles and there was instructions about what gear to be in and what pressure to run sprayer at so I’m guessing she was a sprayer tractor

Not a recent pic but the trail that the contractor used to lift our grass, think it was around 2004. Was driven by the tractor as well as the engine, went pretty well when the engine was going right.

Nice to see newish rake on a older tractor

I know that outfit well. The man driving has been combining my barley today.
