Deere 6330 Good Hay Size Tractor
Model Year: 2011

Tractor has better power the the plain 6330. The model I purchased had the hydraulic shuttle. This makes the tractor when handling round hay bales and in my case grapples with small square bales. I had a third function remote in the tractor middle and a quick connect on the loader. This makes it a lot easier to connect hay square bale grapples up. The loader control is a little stiff then goes pretty good when it does, more so than my previous standard 6330. I think this is a result of the high hydraulic capacity of the tractor even at idle. On models ordered from the factory loader equipped the loader joystick is equipped with gear change buttons for in range shifting. Mine also had the third function loader control on it as well. with the 16 speed trans this made c range great for chasing hay bales in the field c3 or c4 was as fast as you could drive in a field anyway and you could quickly shift to c1 or 2 for more precision when loading. When stacking square bales with my accumulator I probably shifted hundreds of times a day. This tractor baled several thousand square bales and several hundred 5x5.5 rounds had good power and the shuttle was nice here too. Did have some warranty work done a recall for something in the rear end handled by Deere and my dealer.

Pros: Good power, good hydraulic, still compact enough for most utility chores.
Cons: Tad expensive when optioned up.
