@@hsagri69 yeah not sure what it is I'm not so keen on, but i do like the 7626 and 7726 they pull like a freight train! Nice tool on a 6 string big square, did a baler demo with one and was flying!
Hi great video, I'm still happy with my 6480 apart from cab chaffed through on air con pipe just up from the steps... i'd check yours as apparently common problem. Can i ask what is the song at the approx 6:34 mark in video please? Great soundtrack you have chose. thanks, James.
Yip you made the right choice with your loader tractor 😁😉 she is doing you well. Smurf is always going to be heart string puller tractor there is just something about them. Stay safe sir 🏴 ps. you'll need a low loader on the list😉
@@hsagri69 I just see you needing a trailer for your kit at some point though a lowloader would move your stuff around easier as well . 😉 stay safe 🏴
Great video, I drove a massey 6290 for 3 years, a great tractor for field work but crap when you're hauling stuff on the road, they bounce around to much, probably not the same with modern masseys
Never driven anything in that range but they are a bit of a legend tractor to those who know. I spent a day on a 17 plate jd 6195 this week and was really surprised how close the jd and my massey were for smoothness
I'm curious to having spent time in both brands. I would say would by a sensible upgrade. Bit more power and bit more refined and user friendly. Probably not quite as solid built or powerful in the linkage
We all like smurf on the channel but it's a lot of money tied up if you needed funds to progress your business Mike,one thing I suppose as a asset it is going up in value 👍
@@hsagri69 not sure what is different with the 50k ones but it is well under powered my little valtra 6550 left it for dead on the pit. Had a few breakdowns too. Also the prop shaft guard design is terrible and its still the same on 7718, had to run without one which is risky. Loads of people seem to rave about them though?
I think you done good and one way of looking at it is that is the messy lets you done you got old blue to cheer you up and get the job done
Cheers mate. Yeah smurf is now pretty much just a toy now.
Great video well done on getting 9k
Thanks rufus
Always liked the 6480, never took to the 6490s, 6499 was the best weapon in the range. Good catch up vid mate 👍
I know what u mean same story with a 7618 compared to a 7620. Personally im not quite so keen on The taller bonnet

I'm supposed to go have a play on a 7726 but not had chance to get there
@@hsagri69 you'll love it mate, trouble is you'll be wanting more from the 64🤣🤣
Two from me again mate.. happy Easter
Happy Easter Tim 👍👍

Glad its worked out for you

She is a good all rounder and it leaves smurf for sunshine days and fun. Low loader??

Great recap of a year 👍👍
It's funny the year has flown by but I feel like iv had the tractor ages

I do think she looks great with that NC tanker on what a picture.
She does look good. Could do with a front weight when things get greasy
Would you recamend them to a lad looking to up grade from a agrotron 135
Why move away from thr deutz brand if u don't mind me asking

Would never part with smurf. Worth more to me in the shed
Would you ever put a loader on it???
Yes if I can find 1 to fit at a sensible price
Sounds like you got a good one. I put a few hundred hours on one last summer pushing up grass and it was a useless POS!!
Never had mine on a pit but sounds like ur experience wasn't a positive one 🤣
