So recent posts of 6470's got me looking at upgrading the tractor.
Currently have a 6270 and while I wont trade it in would plan to have 2 tractors for next couple of years but want to be able to step back to a single tractor in time. Young lads are helping out at minute but I'm sure that novelty will pass! Interested in views- budget is about 40k (including vat as not registered) but willing to spend a bit more on a tractor that will retain its value!
Brand MF - not really open to others unless Cork selling the Fendt cheap!
No loader.
HP 120-160.
Must have ccls.
Ideally 3 spools.
front axle susp ideally cab suspension also. - really miss suspension on 6270.
50k optional not required.
Hours <7500 - ideally around 5-6k. hours will be about 400 per year and I want to stay under 10k if possible over about 10 years.
Age preference is 10-12 years old
Transmission not dyna 4! dynashift or dyna 6 - nervous but I think I need to bite this bullet.
Tasks,
Sowing (DD Moore and one pass), rolling, spraying/fertiliser, baling, haulage, stubble cultivation. Maybe some ploughing and cultivation ie roller with paddles.
6270 does all this today but is a bit lost for power on hills with the moore, one pass and the paddle roller - nothing low range doesn't resolve but be nice not to have to go there.
Options:
6280/90 - Low hours with front axle suspension. Haven't seen many low hrs clean come up lately would be well within budget but would be 18+ yrs old. 26-30k
6480 Tier 2 dynashift or dyna 6?? could be good option but on older end of target age. 28-32k
6470 - tier 3 sisu engine only 4 cyclinder but very tempting and fits in budget dyna 6 - nice one for sale in NI but only 2 spools and no eco pto! 38-42k
or
https://www.donedeal.ie/tractors-for-sale/massey-ferguson-6470-with-loader/27615525 - could drop loader to get back in budget.
6480 - tier 3 sisu - will push me well over budget but maybe wait a year or so currently 48-52k for reasonable hours
7616/8 - these starting to appear at 6480 T3 money??? 53k?
Thoughts .... certainly tempted by 6470 ..
Is eco pto a deal breaker?
