2017 Shelbourne Reynolds 600 Series 656

2017 Shelbourne Reynolds 600 Series 656

The 656 has evolved using a combination of features and designs from both the 500 series and HD700 series.

The objective of the 600 series is to provide a powerful machine with reasonably high specification in a lighter frame that is suitable for medium sized tractors. This range is suitable for both farmers and contractors.

The first 600 series machine is the 656, this features a modified frame and 5.6m arm taken from the 556 machine. The 70HP hydraulic system is then taken from the HD700 series giving the 656 a contractor compatible work rate along with the HD700 series belt drive 1.2m and 1.5m heads.

A completely new control system has been developed for the 600 series, once again the starting point was the HD700 series control system. The new system is a digital proportional electronic joystic control giving proportional control over lift and reach functions and switched control on head angle and slew functions.
