Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums. | We had a 2955 and it was much better than I thought it would be. We had 11,000 hours on it. We did some work to it over the years but it was pretty simple stuff. Just oil leaks, alternators, fix a/c, new upholstery. I think we put a hydraulic pump on. Somehow we never put a clutch in it. It had a 260 loader on it too. We had pretty good operators on it. We were going to trade it on a 6400, but they gave us so little for the trade we just decided to buy the 6400 outright and keep the 2955. The 6400 is rated same horsepower as the 2955, but the 2955 had a natural six vs. the 6400 turbo 4. The 6400 was nicer obviously, but the 2955 felt more solid. If rolling up bales and pulling a 10 ft drill is all you're gonna do, then the 6300 is probably a better bang for the buck. If you think you're going to need to pull something substantial, the 2955 is more tractor. The dry clutch is probably the single worst thing about a 2955, but if you treat it right, (don't start off in 8th gear, don't rest your foot on pedal, don't take off with implement deep in the ground) it will last a very long time. |
