Mine was delivered last Thursday. I put 10 hours on it over the weekend testing it out on various chores and I'm pleased so far.

While lifting some old wooden posts out of the ground the 621 FEL was able to get the back end off the ground. Tires are filled, but I'm adding some weights to the rear wheels this weekend. View attachment 461848

Nice tractor. That thing looks like it can drive over car lol.

Also check the level on the rears...and what is in them?
Spent 30 years out in the field doing tires on construction equip...it is common to find after paying for loaded tires that they are 1/4 full...why bother??

Check your owners book for recommended ballast for tires, and or 3 point, to use your loader at max capacity to full height.

Hi guys. I've been thinking about selling all my older tractors and picking up a new one. I'm building a new house/barn this year on 24acres, 16 is open & 8 is wooded. As much as I like working (on my schedule) on the old iron, I don't want to deal with break downs in the middle of this project.
I was looking at the NH Workmaster 60. It seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, 50pto HP, 4x4, the loader lifts 2700lbs and is detachable. I drove it around a little bit and I really like the shuttle shift. I should be getting a quote today with the 621 loader and 3 remotes, I wanted 4 but he said they don't offer 4. I'm probably daydreaming but If quote comes in the mid to low $20's, I think I'll buy it.
What can you guys tell me about this machine, the good & bad?

If you're up for a bit of a drive (looks like 550 miles) there's one with only 13.5hrs going up for auction in a couple of days. If you aren't able to haul something that big, there's a fellow TBN member here in Michigan who hauls tractors (fully insured, etc) as a side business and should be able to handle that.
