Getting stuck into some slurrying with the 5711M.
The first big test of the 5711M, stepping up and doing the job of the 6290. The tanker is not the biggest by modern standards but it take a capable tractor to handle it on our steep slopes. So how did the 5711M perform???

9 months of rain, its now time to drain!

One of the wettest years on record, it has rained for 9 months and the water has taken it toll on the land. Fields that were once dry have several burst drains and springs where none existed previously. However it has finally dried up enough to get on the fields to fix the burst drains and trying to get them all in before the weather breaks.

    Cathal, yer da, me and most of the family grew up in front of that fire. An acre of peats cut every yr to fuel it, that was a slog on it's own each yr lol, the farmhouse was renovated in the late 70's, the last place to have electric supplied to it in the area, great memories and thanks for showing it, ❤

    Hi Cathal. Make sure to keep that back window closed. I once had a sight glass blow off while spreading and if the back window was open a bad situation would have been a whole lot worse. Bad enough in your own tractor but 100 times worse in a demo....

  • @crimsonsunshine264
    @crimsonsunshine264 8 дней назад

    A good time of year to get a demo(hopefully you can travel )! I don't think there's much DNA left in these new lower end Massey's you can compare to the old girls you have,apart from the colour and the power control lever which will be same as the 62. For a direct comparison in the current Offerings you have to go right up to the 6S range where the smallest models still share the same rear axles as the 3075-6265, and the larger 6S's share the same heavy duty rear axle as the 6290. Both the 5700, and 5S ranges use a newly designed rear end which was launched on the 5410. I think it was maybe conceived to be a modern version of the older Massey backend design with the same brakes fitted, although with a slightly different way of actuating the brakes externally. The engines of any of the new models are now all in-house agco power units ending the long tradition of using Perkins engines.

    Can't beat trying out a tractor on your own farm and area. You will know how it performs with load on hills that you are familiar with...

There was no mention of add blue unless this is a very basic engine....

    I was watching a video a few nights ago and was thinking about u. Some man had cereal feeds made from 12 pipe cut along the length of them. But he had them on a hundred frame welded to the gates in his cattle shed. Lifted out out of the way they were high enough not to be an obstruction but when lowered the restricted the movement of the cows head so they could over reach into the passageway. Might be good idea for so u don’t cut the head of one of them next year when feeding. Nice tractor they but it’s no Fendt lol. The older stuff is better as u can work in them. To much electronics for no reason now and modules are costly when they go.

    Enjoy!!!😊 nothing like sitting and driving a new tractor, I drove the 3095 last week (all 3000 series are my favourite!!! 😊) I'll be driving a 1 year old 5S 105 Massey for grain carting soon, and it still smells new inside, I'm sure you'll like the loader with the extra lift capacity to the Quickie one the 6265, I'm certain Dan had a demo of a 5711m, 🤔 it's perfect size to the what thing crappy loader tractor I drive on the other farm, and dealer mechanic (vegan !!!) doesn't want to fix it became they don't brake down, 😡, enjoy I'm sure you will. 😁👍

      I would of just said to your wife, "it's only seven tractors I've counted.... the seventeen is only an optical illusion". Might work???? 😁😄

      Thanks Calum, 3075 is my Favourite. Loader and joystick control is great on the 5711.
