Top 10 Tractors at LAMMA 15

The half track Magnum wouldn't be anywhere near my top ten, I think a half track manages to combine the worst points of wheels with the worst of tracks. Terrible on the road compared to wheels, terrible turning circle compared to tracks. At least that is what I thought about my JD on H tracks.

Guys - to be clear - this is the LAMMA Show's list, not my personal one. Maybe we should do a TFF list based on votes? Might be interesting.

They missed Zetor! Every stock farmer's dream!
Aye, this stock farm ran zetors for near a decade(y)

Simple, sturdy workhorses that are surprisingly comfortable! The current four year manufacturers warranty will be very attractive to many. They certainly have improved recently with excellent engines, wet clutches, and even synchromesh gears (pups these days don't know how to double de clutch).

Unfortunately the improvements have come at a financial cost, or at least the 140hp one i priced up last year had. Maybe this crashing euro will help.......

As a massey owner since the beginning I am not impressed with their current models and think they need a big kick up the arse. I noticed this 7726 was on springs for cab suspension so still having issues.Seriously considering a Puma 160 cvx as the next updat from a tier 2 6480.
Am so chuffed theres plenty who think the same...
Been Loyal for last 24yrs n bought 5 NEW 6cyl MFs & 2 Used. 7600 & by the looks of it the 7700 ranges are a no go.
what I currently have will just have to run much longer, just aswell everything is low hrs & ney ad-blu to worry about.
There just dragging behind with major updates compared to the competition.
Right hand console etc etc is a sham it needs binned & started a fresh or just use 8600series old ones & Whole Cab somehow with Suspension that works !!!
