6510 john deere

Never heard bad reports of the 6000 or 6010 range of deeres but if hours are high parts will be worn.brakes can be very expencive if repairs needed..as with all jd parts

6610 engine non turbo and de rated to 100ish hp with the 4cyl back end so a slightly lighter tractor than a 66, the engine will take turboing if the hours are low and well serviced, which could leave a very light 130hp pocket rocket

I would prefer a 6610 se but very hard to find and very expensive tractor to buy that why I was thinking of a 6510 but I've herd that they are very under powered was told that I'd buy a 6620 cheaper than a 6610 because the 6610 is so soth after tractor

There is a reason the 20 series is easy to get hold of, they are a ball of sh1te compared to the 10 series. I know a few lads back home with 10 series and are all keeping them. The 6610 was and still is probably one of the best tractors JD ever made.

What do you plan on using it for?

iirc it was only the first of the 20 series that were bad.

Maybe but there aren't too many horsing around with trailers on them compared to the series 10 or 30's. I know a lad that traded in a 6610 and 6810 for a 6620 and 6920. Got rid of the 6920 after 2 years and managed to get a 6930 but couldn't get rid of the 6620 (well he could but at a massive loss) still has it but it has low hours, spent a fortune on the gearbox so only uses it for work that won't tax the gearbox too much (spraying, agitating, raking). No way will he put it doing any hauling again. Has a 6910 with close on 20k drawing a low loader and dump trailer and 2 6610's doing the silage (baling and keltec) with well over 15k on both and all running like new. He reckons the 20's are too soft for heavy work

I'll be doing farm work no contract work agitating slurry spreading with 1600 gallon tank we do no pit just raps about 700 a year so be mowing raking and drawing our selves and I have a 7740 newholland at the mint and I'd like more power and Hever tractor and I'm trying to see witch is the best 6270 massey 6610 john deere tm125 newholland

Trying to get get a good 6610 with low-ish hours for ok money is a bit like finding hens teeth. If your used to the NH then the TM 125 might be better, however they and the Massey are bigger the the JD so if your sticking a loader on it the JD would be more nimble. A Ts115 would be near in size and the turboed ones go to 125-130 hp so might be worth a look.

Not a fan of the ts I like the tm better coz of the. Gears cab suspension and 7.5 liter engine

In that case go with the TM

I do like the case but the main dealer to far away from me if I never need to get anything.I'd say it be the tm125 il be going for any one no a price for a good one

What about a 4370 ? Simpler machine than the 6270.

Went to look at a tm 125 today but it wasn't clean enuf for me but he had a Tm165 that was like new with new tyres and 7000 ours but was very very well minded he told me that from tm120 to the Tm165 is the same tractor only the power is different and that he can put it at 120 for me if I wonted is this true or would I be mad looked at a Tm165 in fairness it does look the same length and hight

A 165 would be the first of the longer chassis machines. Up to a 155 would be the same general size although there are some variations in axle hub sizes with the 140's and 155's

I'm slightly biased, but what about something which is a cross between the Massey and the Deere - A Renault Ares. Deere engine and Gima back end (same as found on Masseys). We have a 620RZ which has given tremendous service. It has pulled dump trailers, low loaders, baled with a Claas 255 baler, wrapped bales, agitated, mowed with a 10ft trailed or a 9ft mounted mower, spread slurry with a 2000 gallon tank. At 112HP, it could always do with a bit more poke, but it's well able for most jobs. Also has a loader on it, so it does the winter feeding. The RZ, which comes with cab suspension is a quiet, comfortable tractor, much more so than a 10 series Deere.
Like a 6510, the trick is to find a tidy example.
