First two years we had our Hesston 1340 the biggest tractor we had was an AC 6080 at 83hp. It would run it fine but wasn't heavy enough to hold the discbine back on hills, going down hill backwards jacknifed got old after the first few times. Also ran it on my neighbours 2wd Case 1690, that was about as bad. Run it on a JD 7510 now and that's about right. The JD 6400s had really underpowered cooling systems. 6410s were only slightly improved, got a 2 year old 6420 now with 2400 hours on it and it overheats just as much as the old 6400 we put 18,000 hours on it. Have to blow it out every 2 hours some days if we're hauling hay or straw. Never seen a 3250, the 6420 is 90 hp, other JDs are all only 85. I'd look for something a bit bigger, 7510, maybe a 7400 Replies: Add a Reply Name: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: Optional Link URL: Link Title: Optional Image URL: Optional Video Title: Optional Video URL: Advanced Posting Options Email Notification: If you check this box, email will be sent to you whenever someone replies to this message.
