No, we’ve got an unbelievable deal to change to a new one. Even comes with drop down wheels so you can push it around/stability

How did the 420 go
Not consider the same again???
Good bit of kit but it’s heavy and so uses quite a bit of diesel. Don’t need it’s attributes now on the clamps as have a silopacter for this season so being replaced by 538-60 Agri xtra …. although the PDI seems to be taking forever

Genius solution there. Absolutely genius. Paint can't come off if it's covered in a sacrificial layer of sh1t at all times.
Is that the with door or without door option?!

Makes you wonder if they can't make a 'dairy farmer' edition. No glass in the cab, no mud guards or mirrors, cast iron bumpers front and rear, no doors, just a steering wheel and seat with 3 sticks.
No grease nipples on any of the pivots- just bolt in bushings that are replaced as they wear.

Nah, it’s the 5 year old apprentice they’ve put on the job.

I bet on many farms the things are barely stopped. Loading wagon first thing, putting straw in for dry cows, moving materials, unload a few pallets off a wagon, move some bales of shavings. Mend that gutter: man basket goes on. It's the 21st century equivalent of a link box on the scraper tractor.
Good machine most popular at the moment

Pay for what you get. Had a Kramer on demo. Rep made it to the end of the drive after dropping it off for a few days and it had a couple error codes. By the time the fitter came out to clear the codes (that they didn’t know what they were) it had gone in to limp mode. This happened twice in the 3 days we had it… it’s a no from me!
Atleast JCB knows what the error codes mean!!
several round here have been tempted with amazing deals but have gone back to a yellow one after the finance/warranty arrangements are no more. I prefer the jcb joystick. Can boom out lift up and change direction all at once, on the Kramer where forward reverse is on the top of the stick you have to stop booming out to change direction etc.

Clearly the only reason its not been washed is because he didn’t want to get water inside the cab through the missing door. I’m sure it would be spotless otherwise.
Any bets as to what its seen most out of the pressure washer & a grease gun?
Put me down for one but I want the suckler farmer one. Its the dairy farmer one when it's 10 years old
