Drove a 6290 for a summer just have to echo what was said excellent tractor . On ground work , haulage and muck spreading with a 15 ton Bunnings . Usual steed was a 6180 another great tractor showing her age a bit but she was well looked after excellent old girl . Super channel keep up the good work
I spent many hours in my uncle's 6290, their a great tractor the sound of them was awesome, my dad had a 8160 and a 8260 again so much power and great exhaust note, love the massey's.
My old chap used to drive a 6190 and his boss had a 8110. Both beautiful tractors, pulled well and sounded great. Really comfortable too. Love a Massey 😊
I have a MF 6120, an older brother of 6290 and i must say that in late 90s these tractors were very much ahead of their time. Mine was made in 97 and if i compare it with new tractors, must of them didnt make it to the level of sound isolation to this day, also the comfort of the cab is very much ahead of their time. And those perkins engines are probably the most durable engines made ever, because if they can handle forest working in Slovenia where they pull 7m3 of logs off the mountain, they can handle everything.
My bosses son has a Massey 6270 and it pulled a 25 tonne digger up a very steep hill in 2 D but very well tuned as well. Those 6200 are like Honda farm quads. A lot of torque at low revs and enough power to do the job! Great vid keep up the good work
One of the local contractors around here has a MF6290 on a twin row Armer Salmon Beet Harvester that I usually get a chance to photograph. A seriously nice set up. Ideal when field conditions can be best described as soap.
I dont know how I missed this video till now but you have just made my day , I have a 6270 which is a lovely tractor to drive and is a fantastic loader tractor but is underpowered two years ago I was looking for a 6290 because like you said they are fantastic , couldnt find a nice clean one here in eire but I did manage to acquire a 8220 much the same hp but much bigger , super tractor no problem to work six furrow plough , love the videos
Yes that was nice just to let to her work. I almost wish we could go back in time and keep things like this and not get so big!! Thanks again for sharing.
Love the Massey’s, we like our AGCO White 6710, something that never made it over to the UK I guess. Same basic tractor as the MF6270 but with a 6BT Cummins for power instead of the perky.
Well said my friend, gotta have the right equipment in the kit to get the job done ..(wink wink) I call it the package that work's.. Especially dry.. Love the old tractor's my friend ..Remember to have a safe and great Labor Day weekend and "Remember our troop's they're in a daily Labor" Take Care and see ya on down the road..
Lovely sounding tractor that. one of the first tractors I drove was a 6180 and although of the era I’d always go for a NH 60/TM series I’ll always have a bit of a soft spot for the old Massey 🇬🇧🚜😁
Wonderful ! Its great to see someone giving the 6290 the credit it deserves , I have a 6270 which wouldnt be in the same league horse power wise but still a wonderful tractor also I have a 8220 which is a super tractor . love the video . I heard OLF mention you in the same breath as aeroplanes today
I do a lot of my own repairs on tractors Jim but I’m actually low and medium Speed (large generator and ship engine) trained. Those models of Massey are brilliant.
How much more do you think you need ? We used to pull 2 legs behind 80hp on grey clay. It’s all about weight, set up and speed rather than going flat out. The land in the vid is light land with a stone pan.
no smoke no poke we have a 6270 and a 80 pulls like f __K no eco boosts but i would say that the last half good MF tractor series was the 5400 6400 but the 7400 was not on the ball it should have been because of the transmission problems. that series had ended the newer cab lay outs was not the best sometimes i think that the designer threw the buttons in the cab and where they landed is where they put them. not enough effort was put into the design. i would say a very poor effort was put in to designing the cab
Sorry for coming in months later... just wondering had the 6290 a nice paint job done or is that the original paint. Looks fantastic. What an example. Credit to the owner.

Nice job- I’m the proud owner of a 6270 I have had since new . Your right about the exhaust sound- it’s one the best sounding tractors around
A lovely sounding tractor.

What lovely clean, well maintained examples of working tractors... don't see many that age in that sort of condition.

My mate has a 6270 and a 6290 that still work non stop fantastic tractors
Lovely video Kurt, nice to see something a bit different. It’s amazing what these “little” tractors can do

Great video I bought my first big tractor last year it's a 6280 and she does everything I ask of her all the best ash
Lovely bark from the perkins and nice to see it out working hard still 👍
Another great video! Keep them coming as they are great and educational for those of us moving into the farming world! Cheers and Keep safe
Great sound I used to drive a 6180 loved it great vid
Always wanted my dad to get one of those tractors, loved the old school fergies

We run a 6290 and a 6270 best tractors ever made for comfort and raw power
The dog is so comfortable in there, good show!
Lovely tractor and a very happy dog.
Was getting worried about ya. Love the tractor and the sounds of it .
I love the 6290’s and older 3000 series only thing wrong it the diesel tank filler at the back they should have put it where the 6480’s where
Yes that was nice just to let to her work. I almost wish we could go back in time and keep things like this and not get so big!! Thanks again for sharing.

I'd imagine that would be one hell of a tractor.
I agree I think those masseys were the best ones they made
I’d be so happy being left in a field to work it down. So nice.
The massey sounds great.
You forgotten to mention you can have your four legged friend in the cab with you too ! 👍
Best tractor I've ever driven absolute beast 💪
Great video, I remember having a ride on one of these as a kid back in Lincs!
Nice tractor, love the sound of that Perkins!
Nice footage! Good tractor!
Well said my friend, gotta have the right equipment in the kit to get the job done ..(wink wink) I call it the package that work's..

Hey Cynthia ! Yes, always remember the troops !
Have a great weekend my friend !
Massey knew how to make a good sounding tractor.my 8130 sounds the same.lovely pulling hard.
Good sounding tractor and i have soft spot for the old massey
Loving 6.0 lt Perkins in 6280, another great Perkins is 354A sound great 3342 SP combine.
The 6480 tier 3 is my cup of tea
Great tractors but just don't have the same character.
Great vid she's a lovely note
LOVE IT!!! Love them Massey's LM My friend hope you injoyed it!!
Yep had a real good time Pard !

Kurt, your back and on great form. Nice video thanks.
That is a throaty ol girl right there! Great video as always
got one 17500 hrs still going strong
Sounds pretty good kurt. Never run a bigger massey just a small 245 I think it was.
Wonderful ! Its great to see someone giving the 6290 the credit it deserves , I have a 6270 which wouldnt be in the same league horse power wise but still a wonderful tractor also I have a 8220 which is a super tractor . love the video .

Yes my mate Mike buzzed OLF in the P-51 earlier this week !
Lovely exhaust note.. Thanks for sharing Kurt take care sir... Oh seen the spit another 4 times :)))).....
Lucky guy ! You can never tire of hearing that Merlin.
Lord Muck They do flights not far from me for a price.. So i get a bird's eye view never get bored off hearing that engine note....
I never get tired of sitting behind one !
Lord Muck I will have to save up some cash before i get my chance to go up in one...
Great film your lordship 👍🏼👍🏼
that sound nearly as good as a massey 690 turbo
One of masseys finest i had a day on a mf 6150 and thought it had a better cab layout than some of bang up to date cabs
The ONLY Massey I would be happy with…I think we have Perkins to thank for that!! 😊👍
Thank you for your reply keep up the good work
What a gorgeous note that Massey produces.
Looking good up in that cab big dog!!!
Engine sounds great.
Not quite like a Rolls Royce Merlin in a Mustang that sadly you were not flying in OLF's last video !!!
No but my mate Mike was !
lovely tractor
Another good tractor back 10 years and more are the same silver and hurlimann xt series as well as Lamborghini
Grate video you get all the good jobs 🙂
6290 ❤😍😍
That looks like fun!
They don't make me like they use to
There’s no Massey sounds as good as a 6290 working hard.
massey 5480 is good tractor and 5440 and 5455
Love that big tractor sound. Do you have to do much hard face welding on the plowing bits or do you just replace them when worn?
Certain mole plow or ripper legs get hard faced Don.
I Just buyt a 6290 i love it
Yet another brilliant production what year were these models produced? Thanks again keep up the good work!.
from 1999 to 2003
Nice one.
Low down grunt! You motoring journalist, you!
She purrs
It’s the same basic engine as what the first McCormicks used when they where made at Doncaster
Ed Dickinson just in a much better tractor.
Lord Muck well we run 3 a Perkins one and 2 with Cummins engines in they have served us well
They didn’t turn out too bad but the first ones were atrocious. We had a demo and the front diff broke up.
Lord Muck must a common problem our oldest one had to have a new front diff in
Ed D as I remember something came undone then everything broke up.
Lord Muck your videos arge great.Are you tractor mechanic ? Is this massey reliable ?
I do a lot of my own repairs on tractors Jim but I’m actually low and medium
Speed (large generator and ship engine) trained.
Those models of Massey are brilliant.
Not a bad sounding tractor. How deep have you got the legs in?
Just over 18 inches.
@@LordMuck Must be some seriously good going then
Not really, just a case of a decent operator who knows how to set up and run kit properly rather than some ‘Keep Er lit’ dipshit.
@@LordMuck Sorry I didn't mean to offend you, just saying that it must be boys land if only needs 45 hp a leg at 18 inches
How much more do you think you need ? We used to pull 2 legs behind 80hp on grey clay. It’s all about weight, set up and speed rather than going flat out.
The land in the vid is light land with a stone pan.
are they made by challllenger fendt agco?
Yes, all made by AGCO
I’ve got a chance to buy a 6490 4,000hrs one owner dyna 6, mfwd. Anything I should be wary of? Thanks
Just the usual stuff when looking at used machinery. Overall they're pretty bullet proof.
👍
Is that a Perkins Engine
Yes.
Masseys have gone down hill since they stopped using Perkins

How many hours has done up to this moment?
I'll ask Robbo and find out, I cant remember
Sound! :)
4000 hours.
@@LordMuck That's really good impressive for such a tractor - thanks for your reply! I wish to find one like that to buy one !!! 😀
