Glad you got sorted out! She’s a beauty! Health to enjoy! Once you go auto command nothing else will ever compare.

Looks like your front fenders are just barely containing those 600’s, they do a wider size which gives full width coverage, unless it’s just the photos?
Thanks Colin, really appreciated all your help as well! Yes, they're the standard mud guards on the front as they were swapped before we got it but new ones are on order to be fitted! Also getting the hydraulic top link fitted but they wanted to get it to us for drilling and cultivation work, which is why its not polished as it came straight from its last demo!

Unless Colin was the last person to demo be cleaner than new

We got a cvx lately and we would certainly go back for gears next time. I can't see what all the hype about varios is all about.

Thats interesting. What is it you don’t like so much about it? I’ve not driven the Case version but our neighbours who are case through and through have a blue auto command coming because they don’t like the case controls.

There's nothing as such that we don't like, but there's nothing that we don't like about gears.
We've only 100 hours on the cvx so maybe we're not used to it yet.
We decided to try a cvx because everyone advised us so, but it was a bit of an anti climax after listening to all the praise for them.

Its the ease and convenience that is it’s trump card I think. Like most things though you have to want to make the most of the technology it offers.

The ease of the 3 target speeds for example, even on a mundane job like tanking, just set your revs, push the stick forwards or hit cruise and your right at the same speed. On the road there’s no clutching at all, and almost no braking, it’s lovely and lazy to use. When I get in our other tractors now it just all feels a huge step backwards.
