Massey 698

[TheTallGuy]

I really like the cab on my 4wd 690 (B reg) - easy enough to get in & out of, space for a few bits & pieces, good all-round views & uncluttered feel. The issue with the mirrors for me is that to be positioned for a good view puts them in the way of the doors, plus the clamps that hold the stalks are dire.

The late 600 cab with adjustable steering column, handbrake beside seat and seat with armrests is a great place to be.
It's easier to get in and out of, more spacious, and has far more ergonomic controls than an SG2
It was also cheaper to buy, when we had our 6904wd in late spring '85, the local John Deere rep quoted too and even an XE series 21404wd was more expensive.
