anyone know when the Puma is getting the new style bonnet? I know it’s coming just getting mixed information as to when.
Also heard rumours about a new cab, with (hopefully) a new suspension design, but 2020 seems a long wait for it.Heard 2019 too. Also heard a rumour of a new cab a year or so later but certainly not confirmed
Yeah got one on demo at mo, just not sure it’s quite heavy enough for our big old hedge cutter, got a Puma 155 on it at mo and on the banks it wouldn’t want to be any lighter but I can’t find a definite weight of the 2 to compare, too many variables.

It’s the active 8, at first I didn’t think it was much different to the powershift but once you start hooking on trailers and driving through town the clutchless brake comes into its own, be great on the baler I reckon, something that does my nut with the powershift when going through town, get to junction and have to put foot on clutch, it sticks it in 12th but leaves it in what ever number you’re in so you pull away and try and upshift and it just beeps at you while the car you thought you could pull out in front of is now up your arse and giving you the bird because you still stuck in 12th feels a little small compared to our Puma 155 but park it next to the Puma 185 and it’s the same height. Hitch is an improvement, copied John Deere I guess. Seats good compared to our pumas. I didn’t know there were variations on wings but can see these two pictures have different styles and this has rubber pedals. Seems to pull fine for a four pot.What do you think of it? Which gear box has it got? Can't understand why they have so many different types of wings. I almost feel if I was to order one I would have to specify what wings I wanted, along with the pedals, seen quite a few with old style metal pedals.

That looks cool.The new Maxxums are only available with the new roof/bonnet now. Basically looks like a baby Optum, it's grown on me very quickly!
