New Holland 6635

Anyone experience with these tractors , looking at one with a trima loader , are they good enough for stacking the few bales etc

The 6635 and 7635 are basically the same tractor only difference is the sticker and the setting on the pump making it 90 or 100 hp. Nice tidy tractor and the fore runners to the TL range. Basically a fiat but unlike the cars are pretty much bullet proof. Manual shuttle and gears (there are dual power versions too). Will lift away once loader is good enough but as they are light so it will need a weight box on the back.

Great tractor and will always be saleable.

Like said basically a fiat....a balls to stack bales with
Has a dry clutch....and mechanical shuttle


Good tractor and reliable.....but very outdated technology

It's just for my own use , won't be working flat out , about 250 bales a year . Would I be better off saving extra and going for a ts115 or likes

Depends I guess....how long would the clutch last??
Would you do it yourself???

And then there is the great comfort of hyd shuttle (I'm a fan)


Guess it all depends on price etc....though a lot to be said for the basic realisability etc and if you are doing own repairs it wouldn't be too bad I guess....I'm sure there will be someone better than me to advise on how they get on with it

Ts115 with LHS shuttle and loader are pricey enough. If your only handling bales and not needing the rear lift and pto then maybe a digger or loader would be a better option. Some of the massey 50ex loaders have rear lift, hitch and pto but have the shuttle and industrial loader.

Not a bad idea

A solid reliable 85hp tractor & as other posters say cheap to repair if anything goes wrong. Engines good for 10k+ hours if cared for. Dry clutch with forward reverse gearstick on your Lhs. Fine to handle round bales of silage around the yard but would be going down the road at speed without a weight / bale on the rear. Reasonably quick hydraulics given the age. Great pulling power for the size. Nice roomy comfortable cab & nice to drive. Good all around tractor for your average drystock or diary farmer. You wont have many regrets if you buy one of these, but they don't come cheap. You'll be paying €18- €22k for a 15 year old one,
