We had one for 3 years , awesome tractor did 4000 hours and didn’t have a spanner on it , was a bit heavy on the ad blue though but they have sorted it out now the 930 I replaced it with uses half the amount . It pulled well , easy too put weight on and off , we had 600kgs on each rear wheel and 2000kgs on the front .

Thank you for the response. Only three faults I had were. Passenger seat too big and in the way. But this was a deluxe one. Can be smaller. Bloody stop button on the left off the floor which I hit a few times. And the fuel tank could be bigger. Can’t do a 14 hour day without refuelling. 500 ltrs isn’t enough.

We have one on hire. Lovely bit of kit. Traction is awesome. The only issue we have had in a year is a faulty pto solenoid.

This one had vario grip. Running at 1.1 bar. But a healthy option cost wise.

Not as efficient as a normal transmission pulling heavy loads on the road up and down hills, loses too much speed going up and has no engine braking downhill. Exhaust brake next to useless downhill with a load on the back. Other than that i do like mine !

Yes agreed the fuel tank isn’t big enough , that was one reason why I went for a 930 different animal too the 828 but I wanted more power and weight

Ours hasn’t got vario grip, so can’t comment on it. Must be real handy.

Got a 936 with vario grip and it's really opened my eyes to tyre pressures. Running a lot lower pressures in the field as I've got the ability to pump them up before heading out the gate, wouldn't want to be without It now.
Not many 800's around this way as most go for a 930 instead, which is still a relatively light tractor for its size

When I change the 930 I would defo go for vario grip it’s a must I’m sure I could get better performance out of the tractor with it
