Is Dynamic Command/Active 8 worth the extra money

[Fragonard]

Is DC/A8 worth the extra 3 or 4 grand?
Thanks.

Oh god yes! So smooth and pulls like you wouldn't believe. Same T6 same engine EC & DCT, the DCT will get up a hill far easier and faster. It's very efficient with lots of gear overlap. I can only assume A8 is similar for MF

Yes. Though ours was same price as the electro command in 2018 so it was a no brainer. Must have been the introductory offer. How much less than an auto command is the current DCT?

Trouble is in a tractor at the smaller end, you'll loose too much power via the CVT vs a DCT will be more productive (unless you have a specific use for the CVT)

Absolutely.

Active 8 is Case version

SLE gets a bad rep on the forum. But it is incredibly reliable and low cost to run.

Great gearbox, just dated.

It suits my needs, one of the main deciding factors in buying a Case here was the gearbox was simple and straightforward to use
