Yes every time I have to move someone else's tractor. What is more I regularly put other tractors into forward on the shuttle thinking I have put on the handbrake having a NH T7 before means handbrake on the shuttle for the last 10 years it's a hard habit to brake.
the pikey who nicked our 630 didnt know about that pedal, when we recovered it the seat was right forward would have made a horrible driving position!

Human brain just does things by instinct... Been driving a bit of a new MF... Reach under the steering wheel every time I want to start or stop it

as to claas/renault ares/arion,just sold a high hr worn out??? 556 ares loader tractor,was an 03 model and to be fair was a bloody good tractor,it got very little maintenance(didnt need any)was comfy to drive,powerfull hydraulics,and compact,biggest problem was electrics due to four point suspended cab and renaualts zealous use of cable ties onto a moving frame,.....the number of times i have wanted to strangle a tractor builder is probly best overlooked

Thinking of getting a 2010 620 or similar if I can find one. What should I look out for especially with higher hours?

I’d look for one post 2013 if funds allow for no other reason than the newer cab is much nicer than the older one.

From my bitter experience:
Brakes
Head gasket
Transmission
Hubs
4wd shafts
Electrics
Error codes
.....
The cab was comfy though!!

I'd say that's a good idea no matter what make of second-hand tractor.

On my second, 3000hrs in three years with little problem on the last. Cab and cvt are excellent
