New Massey Ferguson 5S

After trying out a vario earlier in the year, I wouldn’t go back to a conventional gearbox for my mainly livestock farm, especially for loader work. Would like to have stayed with Massey, but the price difference between a 300 series Fendt and a 67 series Massey meant the MF had no chance of coming here. Until we get electric tractors, vario is the way forward for transmissions as far as I can see,

If you bought a John Deere what gearbox would you want

You're welcome to it
Gave a mate a hand one day at silage driving his powerquad deere. Talk about a step back in time. Give me dyna 4 or 6 any day.
Yes il be the first to admit its not as handy as a powershift or autopower but i like its simplicity and reliability. Im a bit oldschool that way. If i was buyin a deere with autopower i wouldnt want that command arm, the single speed stick is handy and if i was wantin a full spec tractor with multicontroller handle and all the bells and whistles it would definitely be dark green with red wheels

You can get the new 4 cyl M’s with autopower without command arm
