The whole point of a new tractor is to sit in a nice cab listening to the radio
not opening the window letting dust in to hear a noisey exhaust…

You don't need to drive them, just sit there and steer.

a days powerharrowing or mowing with a straight pipe would ruin a new tractor
Neighbour tried an ex demo one and they wanted £90,000 for it. He didn't buy it.

The day when they have almost completely silent engines and transmissions can’t come too soon.

I asked a man 20 years ago why he was swapping a 6800 for a shiny 6910 but still only had one tractor, payments AND depreciation.
He cancelled the 6910 and bought a 2nd 5 year old 6800.
He's been working with zero depreciation since then and has 10 tractors and no tax bill.
He owes me a pint.

Arguably he’d have been better off taking delivery of the 6910 and still wouldn’t have had any depreciation!

He finished up with a good few anyway.
It's nice to have new things but it's getting even more difficult to pay for them.

I learned to drive on a MF35x, with no cab.
You heard ever noise, but I'm not least interested in driving one for a 14hr day now.
I'm not a grassman, so the bark of an engine doesn't give me a semi, it never has.
Give me a quiet tractor any day

o be honest everything bar serious money is mundane these days. Wife’s American colleague commented last week she’s always dreamed of owning a Ford Mustang…….. so now their employer is running a tax free offering she’s finally ordered herself an electric one!
Well the electric ones I`ve seen look like sh*t and they probably sound cr*p too. The poor dear would be well advised to get a really good one with an internal combustion power plant...Now THAT sounds like a REAL woman...

Soulless!
I appreciate modern cabs - but preferred the days when you knew what tractor was coming up the road just by its voice

Still run a Case MX 135 with a Cummins engine, what a beautiful exhaust note.

1 thing i hate about quiet fast tractors is the tyre noise
pardon
Recon it would be nearer 100 we’ve just bought a 4cyl 145hp fairly basic spec but it does have Gps and that was 85
