What mixer wagon tractor

[Headless chicken]

need to find something to sit on the wagon. Cheap cheerful and easy to fix with hammers and swearing. Any ideas? Bought a same tiger but not enough oil to drive the belt. Absolutely gutted.

Needs to be 100+ horse preferably closer to 130hp. 30 cube wagon so fair pull on it.

How reliable are old fastracs? Mx would be perfect but like hens teeth.

Yes no problems, don't know if it would have the oil flow for the belt

Any 300 series would have the oil flow but possibly a little small/light
I don't know much about the bigger/ newer Massey's
How much oil flow do you actually need ?
I wouldn't buy anything too nice, mixer wagon will ruin a tractor

Could you upgrade hydraulic pump on tiger you have bought?

I’m not even sure to tell you the truth. Needs a fair bit to drive the belt I guess and need to be a bit of a lump. Agreed they do ruin them

Mechanic doesn’t think so easily and I think the issue may be that there is just not enough oil there

I'd fit a pump on the wagon, with its own oil, no pipes to connect/ disconnect when hitching on and off

Will you ever be stopping it between loads?

A 30 cube wagon will take some torque to get it started again even in low box. Imagine it will hold about 13t loaded? Our 24 cube does about 10t load.

I'd want a heavy tractor and airbrakes if using on the road. Depending on your setup, raised passes etc it'll fairly push you about.

Father managed to burn out clutch packs on our fastrac on mixer wagon but mainly because he was driving it about yard full at low revs, putting a strain on everything. The gearbox for pto is external so not expensive to do.

We've a m620 deutz on it now. Was cheap and nobody will drive it for other jobs. Eco 540 pto handy for saving fuel. Easy to change it to 1000 pto to empty it completely.

Shouldn’t need to stop between loads but it would be handy for it to be able to start it say half full. Yeah we’d be up towards 13 tonne fully loaded so a fair lump but no road travel and infact very little travel at all. It still needs to be able to take it well

I like the idea of clutch packs being outside as opposed to inside

Think 130hp would be a bit optimistic on 30 cube. We have a McCormick mc115 on 19 cube and it’s about right. I’d say case mx135-150. Mf 6290 or jd 6920

JD 6920/30
TM140/155
MF 6290/6480
Case Mx150 / mccormick mtx150.

Yup any of them be perfect I would say

Ok any suggestions where to find any of the above at a sensible price? Everything seems to be insane money

What’s your budget. Trouble is new equivalent models to the ones mentioned about are £90+ grand so older ones are still dear

Would not a lot of these mixers if staying in the yard be ideal candidates for mounting an old combine engine on the drawbar? Then drag around with a 2wd 956 or similar? Save having lots of money tied up?
