Ok had a look at the latest test in this weeks paper and thought the latest 90 hp test probably quite relevant to me being dairying and run one of same size on my 14 cu wagon but would it not have been better a loader test
some farmers seem to have huge tractors on mixer wagons these days ! ie jd 6930 as an exampleOk had a look at the latest test in this weeks paper and thought the latest 90 hp test probably quite relevant to me being dairying and run one of same size on my 14 cu wagon but would it not have been better a loader test

Ours is 9 ton empty and that's on the smaller scale, be alright if it lived on farm but we have animals off farm and even that can get dicey in the winter!some farmers seem to have huge tractors on mixer wagons these days ! ie jd 6930 as an example

Same thing crossed my mind. Fair enough the fendt is probably aimed at veg growers etc but at what point does a tractor costing twice as much as a competitor become too expensive?I would have thought that as 80 hp tractors tend to be more "in and out of them all day" type machines rather than "10 hour shift without a break" the fact that you could buy 3 Zetors for the price of the Fendt would have counted against it.
As always in FW it is just a reprint of a European article.

Loving the Duc
mixer wagons seem to get bigger each yearPulls a tanker as well I believe but mainly for the mixer
Not quite. It is usually a co-production from Reed Business i.e UK, German, Dutch and French journalists together in whatever country suit them best. Bit of both usually. These (tractor) tests are awfully expensive.As always in FW it is just a reprint of a European article.
