Does she have the new style multicontroller handle in her? Havent drove 1 with it yet but looks quite bulky in pictures

Yes it does. I think its an improvement. Sits to your hand better. More programable the 4 white buttons can be changed to do what you like, one is set to activate the steering but you can change that if you like. If you wanted you could put 4 spools in the joystick and still have the go and end buttons free. The little wheel is great for changing the cruise speed as you move, a direct copy from JD! I have the fancy little joystick which can handle isobus operations. It wont talk to my sprayer at the mo and I'm using the muller joystick, apparently I can have an update on the sprayer computer to do this but I havnt bothered yet. there have been a few issues with the isobus and diffent machines but I am told they are sorted now.

Basically you can set everything as you want. Can also set different users so if theres more than one driver they can revert to their own settings on start up, this can be in multiple languages if needed.

Just bought a Valtra 235 to pull a trailed sprayer. It and the Deere had the best ground clearance. Coupled with the vario and isobus it should be a good match. If not I will need to think again!! JCB was great on the road but just too expensive and have heard horror stories regarding reliability.

Pictures pictures pictures! What sprayer have you? Can you show us it all hooked up and with your isobus/screen all running?

Fully mounted 7ft?

The only fully mounted 7f plough I have ever seen was on the back of a 900 series Fendt and it looked well matched. I suppose there are heavier and lighter versions, vari-width, autoreset etc.
I remember a trip to JCB in ‘95, did the factory tour in the morning, with our own personal guide, then lunch in the restaurant and off to the farm in afternoon. Standing in a marquee at the bottom of a hill and a ruck of fastracs raced down the hill towards us, turning just in front of us. One had a seven furrow fully mounted on and how it missed the marquee I’ll never know! o_O

Think so, can't be bothered trawling back through them all to find it.

Most people up here have 6f mounted ploughs on big fendts. But my little NH manages it fine. It was a cheap plough cause 6f not popular size plough up here.
