The perceived performance in the field is due to the "droop" setting, it was probably adjusted for road work and not set properly for the field application, dealer should have explained this on installation and you didn't have it long enough to "play" with all the settings.

Agree with you 100%. Asked the dealer to please leave it longer with us so we can play around with settings. He wouldnt go for that. Also he didnt even know how to handle all the settings. Big problem here in South Africa. We get demos for a few hours and salesmen dont know their own product. Causes for big confusion.

Its manufactured by Carrotech here in South Africa. They are the monosem and Duncan Ag dealers in South Africa and build their own units as well. The shank design and unit is from America. Think its a great plains shank

Valtra N134 on demo today. Have to say I was very impressed with the tractor. Big cab, comfy seat, great gearbox, great pto power. Our strautmann mixer makes the JD 6140M and New Holland T6070 work for its fuel. The Valtra pulled it better. Valtra is "newish" to the South African market and especially new to our region. Unfortunately this specific unit was way overpriced compared to the competitors.

Problem solved. You can buy a Valtra. Sorted.

Well I've had a Massey telescopic on demo for a couple of days,8043,yes they are made by Bobcat,but they do look the part in red.
Amazed how compact it is for a 8m high lift and 4.3 ton lift,when they said what model i was getting on demo I thought it was going to be a massive clumberson great lump,but no, its only a few inches longer than my JD 3220,Bonus.
Yes its hydrostatic and not everyone's cup of tea but I've got too like it,its fast both in speed and in hydraulics.
Its got 2 gears,and a splitter and a creep gear which can adjusted.
You can, I've been told add hydraulic attachments pipes under pressure,haven't tried that part,which is a pita on my JD with the Sutton road brush.
Think the only gripe I had was with the boom suspension which seemed to have a mind of its own,they are going to look into that....probably operator error tho.
Oh and that poxy ball bearing spirt level thing on the corner post which rattled............a lot.
1st thing that would hit the back of the workshop if I decide to keep it,and why don't they put a camera on the pickup hitch nowadays instead of a crap mirror which will get knocked out of view.
Useless.
Do I like it.........
yes
it'll do everything I want and a lot more,and its got great air con in that green house of a cab.
Anyone want to buy a JD 3220!

Looks the part that! Is it the style of pic or is the cab very cramped? Looks extremely narrow but could be the way the photo was taken.
I’m also far from convinced a cream interior will work out well in a telehandler
An added bonus is that you don’t have to scale Everest to get into the cab!View attachment 968075View attachment 968076View attachment 968077View attachment 968078

The 3rd pic is a wide angle one to get more into the picture I assume, that's why it looks so squished in the middleLooks the part that! Is it the style of pic or is the cab very cramped? Looks extremely narrow but could be the way the photo was taken.
I’m also far from convinced a cream interior will work out well in a telehandler

Its a counter,I press it for every bucket dropped in a lorry,just handy for level filling.
I think its proper job is for keeping golf strokes scores.

You must have a fair set of clubs to have a telehandler carry them round the course for you.
