Perhaps they want to sell as many tractors as them.

Horses for courses. Still don’t want them on steering wheel.
new tractor at end of year will only have armrest controls or on the screen. Will see how that goes when it gets here.

I don’t particularly want them on the steering wheel, just don’t want them anywhere near the armrest!

Do you know when Jcb are updating there armrest/joystick, operators screen?
Its currently a weak point compared to other brands

No idea. Personally I quite like it, it just needs shrinking down. Lots of wasted space in there. The armrest in our MF8480 and JD6920 all had the same functionality as the JCB but a much smaller parcel.
Not a fan of some of the other armrests and joysticks with masses of buttons on tbh.

I agree. I think it's fine. Here quite a few people who have demos aren't impressed with it. Definitely something they could update and should be better for amount they cost.

Not sure but it could be a small armrest screen section showing a quick glance of essential info?

What ever Agco do with MF they must sort the reliability of the electrics , they have a good tractor but the electric components are utter rubbish . All our break downs are electrical , it has got to a point i am trying other brands.

Well, if it’s a full width window and the back of the cab is narrow then it’s a narrow cab and I can’t see that somehow.

Yet driver and passenger look to have more room than current models
