    Anyone know much or ever had a MF 2620 tractor, they only 100hp but big machine, probably too big for around the farm yard

    Never drove a 2620. Spent a few weeks on a 2640. Big old girl. Not for tight farmyards, that's for sure. The one I used required you to get underneath and switch a valve around to change the spools from single to double acting. Good to pull, but looks like 160hp while onky 105. Always thought they would make a stable platform for a Moffat type saw.

    Ah now Neks how did Mick let you do that much ploughing?;) Is a 2620 2wd?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Only ever got to do "one way" ploughing with that lassie, Blue.
    Drove one on a site up here, with a Muir Hill dumper cut down into a trailer.
    Is Cogs or Whitby still in the area?

    this one is 4wd, 1983, good order but tyres 25 per cent, big bulky beast, what one worth in todays market?
    ALSO looking at 699 4wd, similar in power I would think

    switching the valve, that's the same as on the new 5600s mf. except you have to climb out the back. big design flaw!

    Definitely a pain in the hole. Can't get anything into Two of the spool valves. Have to hammer them in which we shouldn't be doing

    You have a 5600 series, have many pairs of spool valves has it. If four there I think there's float on 3 of them except the one that pairs with the hitch

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,297 ✭✭✭✭Nekarsulm

    Is that to do with the electric joystick and the loader. U can't use the spoils and the loader at the same time u have to switch something on the spool block for the loader.
