I had a 6160T until 2004. Great tractor, with one of the best front wheel drives that were built then, by far better than JD or CIH then. very good hydraulics too. My tractor didn't have AC and as I used it mainly for field prep, I found the clutch was a little weak to transmit the engine power to the (synchronized but not powershift) tranny. Is a bit touchy on oil: needs high grade H5 oil because of the immerged brakes. But for an all round workhorse, it was and still is a great tractor..... I heard it works in croatia now :) To avoid overheating the last cylinder ( the one closest to the cab) I drilled a hole through the thermostatic valve so that coolant was circulating from the start on. I enjoyed working with that tractor, but thought that I needed a bigger one to get the work done easier and quicker. Have now switched from green to red: Mc Cormick MTX200. Parts are still available but even here, we have to know where to get them as these tractors have not been built in as big units as say JD or CIH.
