As long as it works ad blue is by far the superior system and isn't disabling it just a quick laptop job by the same people that does tuning and such?
Surely the adblue gubbins referred to above if goes faulty it is self inflicted on itself whereas the stupid egr system does harm to the engine ,so I know which one I’d rather have before deleting!!!!!

I have spend many days in various pumas, I like them. I worked for a guy that had 4 pumas, but I just felt at home when I got on my own 6910, so I can positively say I do like my deeres. If said deere had a proper driving pedal it would be easy, but they don't, and that is just demented.

JD every time the rest of your fleet is JD's so no need for different PTO shaft lengths etc

We put a case cvx 175 up against our 6930 and the JD had more pulling power.

I don't get this drive pedal complaint I've now got a CVT of another breed and still much prefer the JD system we've got 3 of them the same and I'm still in them a but and just can't get on with the joystick or pedal to speed up and slow down. To be fair the case system is actually good but it's no 6930

I think it is what you bite your teeth on.
My first experience working with a cvt was on a NH tvt, on that one you only have a drive pedal so hey.
When you have your hands full on operating other levers, why would you not want a drive pedal?
When I am mowing and come to a headland I constantly go between the autopower lever and the hydraulics while my feet are doing nothing...

I can kinda see your point with a 6910 but a 6930 with command arm everything you need is at your fingertips so no need for drive pedal . Slow down and speed up with your thumb spools with fingers furthest you move your hand will be about 10cm .
I usually compare it to using a combine or forager you sit there with feet doing nothing all day

Someone recently asked me about round baleing with an autopower on an R series and it'll be great to use pedal mode but once reality set in about stretching to get the pedal all day long and making a lot of bales in a day they soon forgot about that idea .

Only use I've found for pedal mode on fastrac so far is hitching up machines and topping roadsides as I can crawl up to the telegraph poles lift my foot and I stop where the Deere your on the brakes to stop it

Well statistically about 1 in 6 goes through a period of mental health issues and I think I just found this thread's statistic :ROFLMAO:

Spent a few weeks on a 7310R spreading slurry and I don't think I have ever cursed anyone like I did at the JD engineers who thought having to do everything except steer with your right hand was a good idea..

Interesting enough I contemplated swapping 2 tractors for one the previous time I bought a tractor. I could make it work as I only use three tractors at once a few days a year but it is so handy having a spare. Also, my 6910 is not going end off. Unless someone offers stupid money that is.

8270r I drive is the same. Everything close to hand but can’t do any more than 1 operation at a time. This is where the Fendt joystick works for me.
