Yes it is. I went to see the new MF 5711 in person and I have to say that I am not impressed. The tag says it was made in France, but the assembly was very sloppy. As if it was assembled in Turkey (If anyone wants to know more please PM me). Recently I got interested in Claas Arion 420...

The MF is out of the picture because it has 2 PTO speeds. For 3 PTO speeds one must opt for the Dyna4 transmission. Back to Forterra. Will try to visit a dealer to see one in person.

I can't really find anything about that new emission tech, and my local MF dealer knows less about it than I do. P.S. 50k, tax included

What about the elephant in the room, the new emissions technology MF 5711 Global? It looks solid, but the low price of 50k makes me think it's a fishy deal (for a new technology). It uses only an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, high pressure common rail (HPCR) and a diesel oxidation...

It's difficult to get correct information, so I apologize if I am asking weird questions. For instance Same/Deutz sends a technician every 500 hours to perform a forced regeneration of the DPF. If we consider that you also need a service center to replace oil and filters (because the service...

I forgot that the new Forterra has everything (EGR + DPF + SCR/DEF/AdBlue) so I would need to additionally remove the SCR (Exhaust), because if there's no DPF in front of it, it will get clogged with soot pretty quickly. So in the end there's just one elegant solution, use the tractor AS IS...

I think it would be best to negotiate the EGR and DPF removal with the dealer. If the dealer has no intentions of removing them, I could do it myself and reconnect EGR wires, and return the DPF a day before the technicians come to service my tractor (until warranty expires). I am not quite...

Hello, I will go straight to business with my first forum post. I need a new tractor with the following specs: PTO 500/750/1000 around 100-120 HP, no nonsense transmission being able to regularly change filters, engine and transmission oil on my own (without a service center) Similarly...
