Totally agree that contracting with new kit has become a waste of time unless it's a totally specialist piece of kit absolutely no one else runs and charges can be kept high enough to give a decent return. Also getting worth while and capable staff is getting very difficultYou would need to work a T6.175 very hard for 14hrs to empty the fuel tank I would think.New tractor sales are going to fall off a cliff in next couple years I think,i don't see how you can make money contracting with a £100k tractor.We all need to run them longer and have them rebuilt at 8-10k hours if needed,a good independent guy could refurb the engine,transmission,brakes pto etc to as new for maybe £15-20k,how far does that go towards buying a new one?
Puma 155 which is basically a T6080 can empty it’s fuel thimble in 8 hours if worked hard. Same with TM135 and 155 which are similar or slightly more power to a T6.175. They also had 270 litre tanks.You would need to work a T6.175 very hard for 14hrs to empty the fuel tank I would think.New tractor sales are going to fall off a cliff in next couple years I think,i don't see how you can make money contracting with a £100k tractor.We all need to run them longer and have them rebuilt at 8-10k hours if needed,a good independent guy could refurb the engine,transmission,brakes pto etc to as new for maybe £15-20k,how far does that go towards buying a new one?
on my jd 155 i cant do much in a day on over 300ltrs, mowing with a 5m its running at 37lts per hr and only slightly less on the sumo.Sum1 pn here said they were gettin 3 days outa tank on either plough or seeddrill but cant remember who
Fuel economy is definitely better on the new ones,though you have ad blu to contend with as well,but 30l/hr is going some even with a (probably) screwed open TM155.Puma 155 which is basically a T6080 can empty it’s fuel thimble in 8 hours if worked hard.

So unless fuel economy on new tractors is vastly better I would consider anything over 8 hrs to a fill on proper hard work a bonus.
Thing is on Combi drill it was rare to get from one end of field to the other without revs dropping below 1000pto. So at full power all the time. This year an adblue spec T7 will be on drill which has a bigger tank so I’m expecting a lot longer to a tankful.Fuel economy is definitely better on the new ones,though you have ad blu to contend with as well,but 30l/hr is going some even with a (probably) screwed open TM155.

Interestingly the non adblue case puma Was no better on fuel than the TM on the ploughing or baler.
No complete change of thinking coupled with some jobs been taken in house a couple of tractors been sold for various reasons means we had to have an upgrade.You always used to say how great it was running old machinery!?
Whats happened? Won the lottery
have you tried a NH dealer?does any one know of firm that hire new Holland tractors out looking for t6 175 on 2 yr deal all others seem to be john deere

On road work, pulling around 12 ton, a lot of it up good steep long pulls, I'm getting around 22-25 hours out of 3/4 of the 230l tank on my T6.145 electro command. 7740 DP on same job was getting 18 hours at the most out of its 200l tank. It was opened up to around 120 or there abouts so around same power as the 145 although it was around 2 tons lighter. So yes I would say the newer ones are easier on fuel. Ive been doing more hours per month with this T6 and diesel man is in less than when i ran the 7740.
