What causes the loud whine/groan in intermediate 3rd and 4th gear? Its always been this way even after full tranny service?  Just a bad design flaw?  I've added sound proof and absorbing materials in the cab, but only helped slightly.

Had a 6080 did the same thing, very annoying. Had a friend who got rid of his because he could not stand the noise.

yes. We did not like the transmission set-up in the 6080 at all for row crop work. I always felt it was set up more as a utility tractor with that FIAT rear half. I know a lot of guys say they get along great with it, but for us it just did not fit well with what we using it for. Bought a late model 185 to replace it and enjoy it a lot more.

Yeah, it seems I use about 4 gears out of 12 on mine...not the best design. I'll take 4 with a power director any day...

Each to their own I'll take a little whine anyday over holding a tractor in gear.

We got 2 6080's both 8000 plus hours one whines much worse than the other. Doubt theirs a connection but higher SN tractor is better.

My FW has 20 speeds and I use exactly 2 plus only one of the reverses.   Don't care if a tractor has 3 gears or 24 if the gears you got are spaced right.
