[QUOTE="KB6930, post: 7937635, member: 13342"] I've had a 4220 for nearly a year on a mixed farm it's done nearly 1500hrs it does everything. Ploughing Sumo trio Round baleing 10k ish bales Mowing tedding raking Slurry muck spreading Trailer work And anything else in between. I like it a lot it's done everything I asked of it so far . But and I'm maybe being too critical I sometimes feel it's lacking wheel grip for example 5 furrow plough on fri it was sometimes up to 30 % slip in the worst bits of the field where I know my JD with power quad gearbox would just trundle through with no fuss and the autopower I would set the max engine revs low and it would do better but the fastrac just wants to rev as soon as it gets slightly tough going or steep resulting in slip . Worst points for me are Fendt gearbox in high range it will get to the point it will just stop driving pilling up steep hills with a trailer on and is especially bad at doing it in reverse. Lift controls. Climate control. Leather seat. Not enough range of movement on steering wheel I'm reasonably tall 6ft and can't get it far enough away from me when I turn the seat right round I'm pinned right up against it . Front window wiper it doesn't clear where you're looking through . And has so little pressure on the end of the blade that it's scratched a bit in a semi circle at the top of the window as it's not been clearing it properly and it's fine further down each side of the stroke. Drawbar is too bulky under the hook and I need to carry a block to drop some trailers on now . I'm having trouble with the wheel rims slipping inside the tyres Good points 4 wheel steer Comfort the suspension is excellent ploughing the first or last run on the headland is a breeze now. Seems fairly powerful engine but the gearbox is holding it back . I'll have it for another 2 yrs at least it's warranty is till 5k hours we were intending on keeping it to pull the combi drill with and sell on and older tractor but I can't see that happening now as to be honest it just wouldn't do what our current drilling tractor will but it'll have a good 70hp advantage on it due to being re mapped. I don't think it will be sold tho as there's something very likeable about it but I think I'll be back to a standard tractor for cultivation work in the future but I might be wrong. [/QUOTE]
