JD 6430 Premium at the Dealers!

Very, very nice tractor, Edward!

I like that "oversize" lunch box, too! :laughing: You'll be able to put in some long days - with all the things you can stuff in that overhead compartment!

So, it's got 24 forward gears? Six ranges with the quad (4) speed shift on the go? You'll be able to "roll" black smoke with every upshift! :thumbsup:

Wow, that sure is one fine looking machine Edward!

Is that a tear I see at 11 o'clock on the steering wheel pic, or just some grime/dirt?

How about some under the hood shots?

Looks like you're getting a lot of rain.

Perhaps you should have NHmitch post a pic of her first before dismissing out right. :laughing:

Here she is

Sorry, didn't mean to ruin this thread with that photo. Anyways, that is an incredible tractor, and you should have a lot of fun on that!!

If it didn't rain I'd be out in the field, ill try to get some shots of the hood. It was possibly rain. I had the wiper on intermittent today when I was driving it today it was the perfect speed. Set all my settings on the command center too.

Here she is

That's why I said no thanks

There's a bigger one mounted behind the buddy seat on the opposite side of the overhead compartment. In the 6420 there is a overhead compartment in the same spot but it feels the 6430 Premium has a bigger cab.

It has 24F/24R gears one problem with the corner post exhaust is you can't see the smoke unless you look back everytime you shift.

What I like about the autoquad is that it has a clutching button. I can hold it down instead of pressing on the clutch. It works the same. :thumbsup:

That's a new one on me... never heard of that feature. Is it (clutching button) mounted on the joystick?

That's definitely a "weird" lookin' dog!! Looks like a cross between a Hyena and a Dalmation!

I'll betcha the little kids would be scared to pick up the candy in the street on the July parade with a dog like that on fire engine!!! :shocked: :laughing:

Little Update on the tractor.

Picture 1 : I run that combination quite a lot. Taken on May 4. Second day on the farm.
Picture 2 : AutoQuad Range/Gear Shifter. Just for you AKfish
Picture 3 : The 3 6000s.
Picture 4 : Come to my farm and you can have a box of this stuff. :licking:
Picture 5 : Taken yesterday. 2 hours after the mud hole.
Picture 6 : Dash Best of what I got.
Picture 7 : Well I thought I could get through this but I realized I broke through the 3 inches of crusty dry stuff. Big Dirty wasn't too happy to be in that. It made the cab pretty smelly. Taken before Picture 5.

I have almost 50 hours on this thing. I remember in Picture 1 when I was disking with it, it felt really hard on the tractor doing 5.5 MPH in C4, But now when I put her in D2 going 7 MPH it feels like pretty much the same just a bit faster. C4 and D1 are pretty much the same gear but D1 is a bit slower, I remember putting it in D1 on the first day to disk, It didn't work so well.

Dealer told me the weights and stuff arrived. So it will have a new appearance sometime this week.

That interior is nicer then most new luxury cars. That is WAY too much tractor for me but I can look and say to myself "if I had 500 acres I would need something like this".
