10000 litre tank!!! makes my 1900 one feel incredibly small all of a sudden
@Clive stated that this was a very poor photoshop can't remember the exact words.
He may have, but if so he was wrong.
This is the new mt 743, demos won't be till next spring though.
They seem to have ironed out the negatives, and very much modernised the interior which seems far more user friendly.
As long as the reliability is there these are gonna be big going forward imo.
any links or press release or just rumour ?
fair enough if I'm wrong about the picture but surely there should be some "official" news re this machine ?
I have a tank of the same size and appreciate that it takes some pulling up hills, even half full in soft going, of which I have many. I manage with 180 hp on both mine though.
Depends on the hill but when traction is at its limit, sometimes down to 10kph, but variable.At what speed. Can't afford to slow down with the area that needs to be covered here

Do you spread a lot of slurry at 25 km/h. That sort of set up looks efficient to me. How long would you take cover almost 800 acres with slurry and how many tractors and tankers would it take to do that?I have a tank of the same size and appreciate that it takes some pulling up hills, even half full in soft going, of which I have many.

thats more like it
still outdated dinosaurs though !
I am unlikely to have one as I need versatility that only wheels can bring.
They are coming though and I'm glad jd are not getting the market all to themselves.
They are the obvious choice for a CTF system on 3m centres . . .
If I was only working on my own farm they would be my tractor of choice.
However, with contracting work the tracks don't stand up to road transport as good as tyres
Agreed. Why though does everyone want 3 meter track width. No one can tell me why it's better. CTF is still ctf at 2.25 meter track or 2.5 in my opinion. Don't know anyone in this area on ctf.
We travel 40 km to outlying land and also do a lot of contract spraying.
Tracks are just too rough and too messy when turning around in light sand.
I only run 1 tractor at the moment so it has too do everything. I also think a properly ballasted and tyred tractor gets very close to tracks
Currently on 2 m
Grow dryland cotton & other summer row crops on m rows, so that's why 2m, 3m fits in with that & headers ( contractors )
