What gearbox does the 3060 have?

EpicPothole

We have a mf 3065 and had a jd also. The 3065 seemed to be better in most aspects for us. She burns some engine oil, but never a problem with the gearbox of any sort.
the jd had overheating problems and electrical issues (not a bad machine, just not good enough) and I'm not loyal to any particular brand.
Massey would get my nod anyway

32x32 why?

I had one many years ago.
The A - B will stiffen up over time and eventually you will be left with one or the other. The hi-lo can also be troublesome.
A one man tractor. kept indoors when not in use...
But when going well the 3000 series were a pleasure...

Dynashift (don't think so) or the one with the H gate range lever?

If the latter, they are to be avoided as once the range gives trouble it is big bucks to fix.

Doors are the bad point for rust.

It has to be one or the other I believe!

auto tronic i think it is. do they have good pulling power? and is there a hydraulic pick up hitch in them

If it has a computer display on the right hand pillar in the cab it is an Autotronic otherwise Datatronic.

Perkins engine so can't go wrong - not sure on hitch.

wesleysniper38

No hyd hitch on that yoke.
Doors will rust with left first to do so cos of toolbox
cab is made of recycled tin if its the french made model (which I think it is) and will also rust quite badly round vents and skylight..

But again as I said, nothing to match her when going well.....

stevenkn

what would you pay for a decent 92 one

what does all the buttons and nobs do on the electric panel
and does that get faulty

is the 3 point hitch moved with a botton nob or lever?
