    The purchasing of replacements is the fly in the ointment. Doesn't make sense and undermines everything

    Re mapping

    Are there any examples of tractor models that can gain significant benefits from remapping? I know there are some huge gains to be made from certain 30 series degrees but that also involves some modifications to the engine/cooling
