    Not a big fan of the little electronic shuttle on the steering wheel. I find you can easily catch or knock against them getting in and out of the cab. Only saving grace is that if you have handbrake on it doesn't actually make the machine move if you do.

    Looking at the price of comparable tractors on DD etc, I think its reasonably priced... even a couple of €k less than I would have expected. Definitely not overpriced by €5k....

    Priced low if anything in my opinion. Loader worth 5 to 6k alone

    Neighbour has a 5465 and it's a great tractor. There was a 6465 a few miles away that gave the world of trouble but in general the 6400's would be very well regarded.

    We have had a good few tractors here over the years as we do a bit of baling used to spread lime do dung spreading etc etc by far and away a new Holland is a way better tractor and a fiat 110. After that no question. All winter driving 8 miles every 2nd day and feeding approx 7 bales between the 2 places twas taking what I made out to be 70 euro per week on diesel with no Sunday driving or feeding
