Depends on the day, otherwise SW Franklin Co, MO | My experience is from a 6310, so basically the same. Excellent utility tractor, pretty poor for anything more. Ergonomics are really good, cab is good and quiet, good lights, motor has been reliable. We have over 7,000 hours on ours and the only work on the motor was for a leaky seal around the front cover. Even the injector pump is still original. The LH reverser makes loader work fast and easy. Hydraulics make a loader move fast.
The turbo 4 does not seem to make any too much power, and the cooling system can barely handle 100% duty cycle. It was nearly useless to try to run the A/C while cutting or baling hay.
As mentioned before, the fuel lines were junk from the factory, but that's not the end of the world. What darn near can be, though, is Mother Deere used a barbed fitting and hose clamps to fasten one of the hoses to the main hydraulic filter (which is located in about the dumbest place I could imagine locating a filter). We lost that connection at least three times going down the road, and if you don't notice the wet tire, the first indication is when the steering and brakes don't work and the pump starts screaming at you. It's lovely laying under an oil-covered tractor on the side of the road.
They are a utility tractor, and are very good at being that. Just don't expect them to go beyond. |
