No, not if you’re in manual. But in field cruise it will do it automatically.

Its a really simple box to work out really, it has it’s shortcomings like everything but you can work round them.
A lot easier to understand the settings when you sit in one - if you have a demo hopefully the rep will be able to set it for what you want.
Staff shortages and social distancing will be the problem with that just now unfortunately. I wouldn't normally demo anything on a job such as that but it will be one of the main tasks so might see if I can get it fir a try

Is a dromone ( non push back) hitch alright for Med square & round comby baling?
I'd be using the clevis style drawbar not the short hook piece, I've got a bar that would slide in with a K80 ball (sticks out same lenght as clevis drawbar)

I had a McHale on the demo one last year and it was fine and I was very surprised to be able to see the end of it from the seat when hooking up

Just out of interest what type of price are they charging for a pick up hitch for a 4220 ?

Havn't seen a price as an individual option.
I've seen pickup hitch with short ladder & ladder type K80, or swinging clevis drawbar with long ladder with ladder type K80.

That’s only a drop down hitch tho isn’t it ? Or do they push out as well

We only have drop downs on a 4220 in the UK anyway

Ok so there’s no push out ones that you know of ? I suppose with not having a big fixed axle in the back end like a standard tractor does limit the accessories that can be put on.

It would have to push out a long way to make it seen from the cab.
It’s a lot easier to see the Fastrac hook in the provided mirror than see the hook of our JDs with the push back hitch.

Just got a quick question for some one. In the steering wheel on the 4220 is a hole that im guessing is for a steering wheel spinner. Does anyone know if it’s a common jcb steering wheel ? Had a quick look on ebay and only comes up with back hoes and telehandler options for the spinners. If anyone knows if they are all the same would be much appreciated. Cheers
Couldn't say for sure but I had the same thought last time I had a demo
