New toy day

Good luck with that then, I've always said that as long as our competitors are being paid a subsidy this dim witted government should have raised the rate for the first 100 hectares to everybody & environmental payments should be paid to those with land to spare above that amount, as it is it's distribution from the poorer to the rich yet again following recent Tory policy.
No subsidies here in NZ since the mid-1980's.....its the only way to go..makes people very efficient in what they do, rather than relying on government hand holding !!!

Looks nice. We had a new one in Feb and it is a very good machine, the cab is a real step up in comfort and ergonomics. Didn't go with the dual tech as we also have a 541, and the salesman said it would be best to stick with the powershift transmission to avoid confusion.
He missed a trick there! If he's persuaded you to have the dueltech you'd soon be wanting to swap the 541 for one too. Brilliant to drive

Just spent the last two years BPS, my birthday money and the change from the back of the sofa on this.
Might even be a future classic. 🤞

you forgot to mention record farm debt levels in NZ, theyve swapped subs for debt, dairy exports to china were the savior for NZ farming but now the chinese are milking their own
