What’s an 8740 when it’s at home? MF/agco?
One of these 😳😳

Please say you have your ''handle'' on a number plate in the front window of said tractor at a jaunty angle?

There you are as a rep for a company selling kit with gearboxes rated to 360hp but feel the need to try an belittle a chap for asking about recommendations on 400hp.
When you get out of your leased little pick up truck go and think about buying a tractor, something I guarantee you have never done and never will be able to afford too.

Oh Lighten up! You having a bad day? Do you need a cuddle?
Edit, @shag were you offended by my comment? Or is puntachap just offended on your behalf? . If you genuinely are offended then I apologise!
ps, my money, “I have none “ would be a jd 8 series. I always think they look “balanced”

Surely 8740s is a very interesting machine: 405 hp and only 11 tons of weight.

MASSEY 9S coming circa 450+ HP so a m8 who knows a m8 who heard from his m8 ;)

That's probably a joke :) but surely the new 9S will be much heavier considering the 450 hp or more, and will cover the range from 320/330 up to 450 hp I guess.
Considering this I believe that especially the upper part of the 8700s range will not be followed up.

Lighten up nothing, wise up you, your current employers are relying on the people they employ to show a professional facade, you to me look a liability.
