Thanks for report.

I guess they'd better hope that def consumption goes down! Why would def consumption be higher on new machine? Not sure I've heard of this before.

Is that tractor going to be available in a track version?

How far away is your dealer?

I'm guessing that tire configuration wouldn't row-crop on 30" rows?

Though I've always thought the MAN engines were good, how many engine types are Agco folks now supporting in tractors? Seems like a lot, but may be just my view. Seems every different engine type (Cat, MAN, etc etc) requires specific training & hopefully parts stocking....no?

Is the tractor going to replace your 855?
Thanks.



I am not familiar enough DEF products to even venture a guess.

The new 700 series track tractors have this same cab, transmission but are a different machine.

They still run the Sisu engine in those I believe.

My dealer is about 2 miles from my home farm (:

No this tractor is not a row crop model.

I agree Agco does seem to have a multitude of engines at the moment. But our dealer hasn’t let us down yet so it doesn’t currently bother me. I have a C7, C13, C15, Sisu 9.7, and whatever is in my skid loader currently from my Cat dealer.

We are actually considering replacing our Magnum 305 with a 380 or 420 version of this tractor with row crop tires. This 460 was the model our dealer had handy for a demo. What we really wanted to see was how it operated. Either tractor will obviously be a big hp jump. We wanted to see the cab and controls and get a feel for the transmission as when it comes time to update our 775E this setup will be similar to the new 700 series.
