What are lads taught on the best tractor under 120 hp for pulling power?? I am only asking as i had the loan of nh t6030 drawing bales back in early november ,i could not get over it could not come out of a gap with 8 bales in a tandem axle trailer with s.s.!!!! Now the field was after a few showers but had being baled only hours before hand and there was just a slight incline up out of the field .The tractor was shod on 60%+ 650 tyres and just spun like it was on a banana skin .To continue i would have dug trenches spining so i removed 4 bales and she still barely pulled out of the field with 4 bales ,now the bales were probably a ton weight but still!! I have seen old nh7810 /case mx110 pulling loads in bad conditions and not a bother to them .I am wondering was my 22 foot bale trailer at fault or are the nh 6030/maxxum 115 gutless J

The fact that she was spinning would suggest that grip was the issue there, 8 bales of aftergrass could be sitting at 8 or maybe 8.5 tonnes, and super singles wouldnt be the easiest yokes to keep moving either.

It sounds like grip was your problem, maybe it was as simple as over inflated tyres.

Wider tires produce less grip on a hard surface IMO. Less pressure per inch so just won't dig in. Would probably have gone better if it was wetter!

It was a wet field but the wide tyre just could not grip ,maybe the trailer was not balanced properly with 8 bales .Years ago i have seen 14x8 trailers drawing spuds/beet with the axle pushed back in them to put more weight on the hitch ,they would be a bitch swinging out a narrow gap though .This seemed to work in bad field conditions to get loads out of fields .Thinking out load i would guess a tm 120 would walk away with my trailer

If you were spinning it has nothing much to do with being powerful of gutless. It be down to tyres. Could just be over inflated or just a poor tyre make. M

Weight (lack of) going on to the drawbar might also have been a factor.

Did you have any weight on the front?

The tractor had a loader with handler ,50 % tyres on front ,the 650's tyres on the back look over sized for it .I suppose the t6030 would really be only a stockmans tractor .Is the t6050 equal to a tm 120 or would you have to go to t6070 for a heavier tractor

What spec t6030 was it? There's one near here and for what it's at it seems to be a right gutsy tractor. Pulling a 5f rev plough, 6m ring roller, 3m power harrow, pulling 20ft grain trailers etc. Also fitted with a loader. I drove it briefly once and I know it doesn't have the SL DP gearbox so could be a Plus or an Elite.

A T6050 with Range command would be the replacement for a TM 120, T6070 for a TM140, a T6030 never had rangecommand

Yes the T6050 can be had with either transmission, the T6070 can be had with Electro, Range or Power Command and would be the bottom of the range of models available in Power Command You must log in or register to reply here.
