nicked off facebookThere are lads pulling six-, seven-furrow semi-mounteds with under 200hp. My brother used to have a seven-furrow semi-mounted Lemken on a Fendt 920 and could comfortably work it fully opened out. We have even worked a five-furrow auto-reset on a John Deere 6600.
Another point is the 6250R boosts to around 300hp whereas a 939 will only deliver 360hp for heavy draft work to protect the transmission - that closes the gap a lot. Only had a quick spin on a 6250R when it was launched and it was a lovely tractor to drive.
