Thanks yeah I spotted them.

What's the button in the floor at your right heel ? Exhaust brake ?

Left side is exhaust brake

Bg

what didn’t you like about it. It’s jd’s only option that would make me consider one but not seen one yet.

I just like my normal autopower too much

I can do everything I want with 1 hand with no need for a joystick. I've driven this setup for a long time now and there's nothing any better

fair enough. For the jobs I do I hate the control layout. I want a joystick

Yup, bloody awkward place compared to any others left heel not right

Happens with cnh exhaust brake too. It's on left hand side too. Near put me through window when sowing. Best to put something underneath it so its disabled.

Got a tractor for a demo it was dropped off when I was busy so haven't been shown what to do my fault not the dealer before anyone says anything.

Is there an easier way to change the cruise speeds other than going through the screen??

You can also have C1 and C2 off, and it it will cruise at whatever your current speed is when you push jstick to the right

I hate the exhaust break where it is, the dog is always treading on it. Make more sense to be put on right and more comfortable, never hardly use it where it is.

I don't think you'll like my opinion much but we'll see I've got the sumo on it just now but I have very little to do not even got any trailer work we got tidied up yesterday I could take it rolling but tyres are too narrow

It's by far jds best option but just falls short unfortunately. Especially pedal control and comfort. Has advantages over fendt no doubt but as I find with most jds, it's a case of what could have been.

I'm a simpleton but that setups pretty hard to beat. I rarely use the buttons on the joystick on new Holland! Just engage autosteer. I setup hms after I had finished drilling! Too much of a hash to fudge about with it when rain on way !

Shuttle use left hand lever next to steering wheel. For the lift I use rocker next to draft control. Spools I use paddles.

Tried a command pro it's not for me at all

You could be disappointed with the Fendt then as the CP gearbox is pretty much the same, coming from a Fendt is the reason we like it.

Thought mine had blown up one day when it ground to a halt at a junction and engine struggling to run.......turns out collie had parked his arse on it. Very relieved.

 

[Chae1]

One day after having my lunch I couldn't get tractor to move. My piece bag was ontop of exhaust brake.

Luckily I hadn't phoned dealer workshop.

 

[hally]

Have to say never really noticed a lot of difference using the exhaust break but mine was just a four pot if that makes a difference. Pal had a 716 and he said the same.

 

[hally]

I can just hear all the arable farmers on here tutting at the thought of a shitty collie in a tractor cab

 

[Chae1]

All the exhaust brake does on new Holland is hold the speed. Doesn't reduce it. If loaded going downhill I generally stand on it. Never use it to stop
