Nobody wants billy basic anymore though. We all want fingertip controls and comfort, with the advance in tech naturally things become more daunting, yet much nicer to use when you know how.

Nice little bits of tech like finger tip spools and Vario gearbox are nice when you're driving them for 36hrs

Wheatonrotty jnr picked this up yesterday, you'd have thought he would look happier! Bit of an upgrade from the old CO6
I agree for main drivers but for seasonal work/workers or weekenders basic kit is better. Its got to the stage where if you do not renew tractors every 6-8yrs you cant drive the new stuff. I witnessed one farmer jumping into a parked fendt when varios first came out and he failed to move it. It wont be long before drivers arent able to plough/mow etc in a straight line without auto guidance, the craftsmanship of choosing the correct headland to start from is being lost.
Hell of a buckrake on the front of it too

Got too carried away looking round it and didn't look at the read out. Will have it back on in the next day or so and try to remember to look. Probably too much!

After jumping from tractors to trucks around 2007, I've barely driven a tractor.
I bet I'd struggle to get the fancy ones to move now and as for all the screens, buttons and GPS I'd be hopeless.
I used to think I was fairly good on a tractor but if I went back to them now it would probably be like learning to walk all over again

that is interesting as I been playing with axle weights and i thought it Would be worse so you be fit to run at .8bar 50km/h when empty but full you road speed would have to be a lot slower but it’s the weight n headlands that worries me
From JST?
they are just down the road from me.
