[QUOTE="Fendtbro, post: 7937717, member: 111888"] KB6930 has hit the nail on the head. 4220 has fantastic suspension and will eat up all the bumps you can throw at it effortlessly. 4ws makes reversing trailers a doddle. Engine has piles of torque and seems great on pto work in eco with big implements. The biggest downside is pulling power on haulage work. I think the 724 will beat it up a hill and the reason I suspect for this is that the fastback is higher geared. With the fendt vario, as speed drops the level of hydraulic input increases exponentially. This is shown on the screen in the 4220 as mechanical input on a blue scale?? If a 4220 and a 724 are both climbing at 10k heavily loaded, the fastrac being geared higher has a natural disadvantage in that it will be running slightly more hydrostatic input than the fendt. The nature of these gearboxes is basically self defeating.. the slower they get, the more inefficient they become. 42 is great on the baler and mower but never going to be a natural loader tractor like the 724. In terms of reliability, a few sensors and daft little things but one rear diff in 3000 hours. Not a disaster but not perfect. Hard ploughing uphill, little wheels can't compete with conventional tractor for grip. Why on earth does it not have a hook that keeps pushing out until you can see it..??!! [/QUOTE]
