After driving a massey vario along side a SPFH I certainly hope they still creep, makes things a lot smoother on that job and any thing that needs low speed precision . The John deere vario Stick with two set speeds and roller wheel is simplicity itself , far nicer and safer than the massey joystick, nothing worse than burying settings behind menus and ruining usability .
Although JD are not immune from ruining things with pointless menus , they did that with Auto quad when they moved the change point settings from a dial on the side console to behind menus and multiple button presses on a screen, the result being auto is more hassle than manual , the same for pto speed selection which used to be on hot keys on the 30's but now behind menus after a 30 second boot time on the r series !
That's a big reason for choosing Deere ivt alongside a bit of brand preference, my dad has to still work with it sometimes and figuring he already struggles with the dead simple 5085M but he doesn't use it much tbf
