Carstairs Alberta
I have a 6nn serial tractor year 2002 the last ones. I t is a great pullin tractor yes the hydraulics are not as nice as they could be you have not a great deal of feathering feel but it is amazing what they will pull . Mine has all the weights front and idler you can hang . This spring was real wet in south central Alberta and i had just bought a new seeding tool and was wondering if it would pull it but it did great. T he tractor looks pretty small in front of 37.5 feet of 10 in spaced bourgault 8810 with mid row banders pulling a 4300 -300 bu. tank with a 1500 gal NH3 pup behind. I also spray with it on a 70 foot 3pt 500 gal. goes anywhere never taking the autosteer off even thru 3 feet of water amazing. You won't like the way it starts but you will like the way it sips fuel. in 3000 hours since new it has had a oil cooler gasket go out and a weird casting failure between the hyd pumps where oil started to leak thru a sand cast line but cat took care of 100 percent, parts look pretty pricey on some other repairs I have heard about
