Hello JLR,

I’ve never even heard of the FX600 but yes the New Holland EC600 was derived from the O&K RH25-Series, which were not particularly numerous in GB as most O&K customers opted for the RH30.

I’m a little more familiar with your machine’s successor which instead utilized the QSK 15 TIER II engine, MCV from Rexroth (instead of O&K), Hydromotion centre passage (instead of O&K) and different pumps. However, regarding your model, the only 'potential' issue that I’ve heard of concerned the swing drive.

I can’t add more but hope you get on with it.

Rob.
