Got a m620 doesn't have speed matching in 1st 2nd and third. Is this normal or a problem with ours?

Seems a bit stupid shuttling back and forward in yard it stalls unless you drop a couple gears on splitter.

Neither of our two have this but the 6160.4 does have speed matching in gear 4,5 and 6, don't think you can get them with gear matching going forward and back. Maybe something wrong with yours that it's stalling our 620 will shuttle back and forth in 4th gear if your being sensible... the 6160.4 is better at shuttling though

Been out ploughing with our two deutz's when conditions allow. A 6160.4 and a m620

Nice stone forks,the loader tractor looks very compact for the power.

It's actually the same fork in both photos, made by p.s.Murray ,

Yes it is quite a compact tractor , very short wheel base , great thing for going about the yard. Not sure I'd have much else for a loader tractor it's so fleet and visibility is great. Might look a small tractor but it just seems to take everything in its stride

I assume you’ve ploughed that field then? Not everyone has level deep soiled fields that are easy to plough. To me looks like there’s probably rock just below the surface there causing the plough to lift.
Suggest the “plough police” try ploughing 2 inches of soil over rock before commenting on others work.
That will be the cotswolds then! Easy to cover the stone though, merely requiring careful positioning of the plough, when you scrape the thing! (at every turn)!
 
Part of mother regulations probably
Probably more to do with the fact that they have to accommodate a pretty big, bulky SCR/AdBlue catalyst unit onto the exhaust stack - have a look at the photos of the 5 and 6 series Deutz tractors above as an example. Doesn’t really lend itself to having a door on the right.

Also having to accommodate an AdBlue tank in addition to fuel and hydraulic oil (for those tractors with separate trans and hydraulic oils) results in a packaging nightmare, so things like right side steps become tiny as they have to be integrated with the tanks which now protrude more.

Is a right side door really useful though?
I have never once used the right door and when trying to think of a use case the only thing i can think of is to throw in tools or similar things.
But then having tools lying around in the cab is a really great way to get even more hurt in an accident so I'd always opt for the toolbox...
