Does anyone have experience running the 2 types? Is there a difference in fuel usage? Mechanic says far fewer issues with dualtech than powershift, but we’ve put 9000hrs on current 6 speed and touch wood it’s been fine.
Also 130hp engine vs 150hp. is the bigger one worth it or do you mange fine with 130?
Wouldn’t be doing much towing. Never found current 140hp version wanting on power.
60% on yards/roads etc 40% off road, handling Hesstons, grain, general loader work.
Looking at 538 60.
Anyone with manitou headstock on one? Is the crowd geometry affected in any way compared to Qfit? Don’t like qfit, manitou design far nearer, plus have 2 Manitou’s so makes sense.
Also screen guards, is visibility affected overly? Replacement screen about £460, full length guard £480 ish, seems cheap insurance.
