Clocks in machines

[Ormond]

Why does it seem an issue to put a clock in a machine that can keep the correct time.....£60k Manitou..... Clock loses at least an hour and a half every 100 hrs.....new Holland.....not as bad but can't keep the time.....buy a £1 watch off eBay.....probably try accurate..... Joke

Best clock we had in a machine was the hour meter in a JD 3650 (digital dash) - jump started it at around 3000 hours and it reset itself to zero

I think there calibrated to the speed the French work at. Your working to fast slow down a bit.

In fairness the clocks in our Fendts keep the correct time!

Guess its the old adage of "You get what you pay for"....

My problem with the clock on John Deere R series command centre is its too bloody small and I can't read it without my glasses on. Latest one has the bigger 10 inch screen but the clocks still as small as the older 7 inch screen.

I thought everyone had mobile phones these days?

I use it for the time.

No clock means I have an excuse, albeit pretty weak, when I'm inevitably home later than anticipated

Our Fendt keeps the time as well. I'd be interested to know the reason for such poor time keeping in some machines.....

Have a r series and 30 series here both loose a few mins over time

I have a feeling they tend to lose a bit of time when you start the machine

+ 1 for watches
Seiko kinetic divers watch that NEVER comes off my wrist.
worn every day for work, as you can see by its face. Feel lost, naked & vulnerable without it
Mobile phone is always in shirt pocket, too inconvenient to get it out to check time

How many tractors have seperate clocks ?
I can’t think of any I’ve ever driven or owned that ever had a clock anywhere other than as part of the radio / stereo ?
In which case the fault is with Sony or Pioneer if the clocks are slow ?

New holland, john deere, case all have them in there lcd displays either in the front dash or in screens on the side and have done for year's

the one in our 3075 goes off when you stop the engine so its not for telling the time its for telling how long the tractor has been running
