Has anyone else noticed a plastic burning/melting smell from the plastic covers just below the exhaust, I’m guessing all the ad blue re gen is under there. the plastic on the outside is getting very very hot

We’ve not had any mechanical issues to be fair too them… just never ending software/ electrical issues… gets a bit tedious when it’s like playing roulette weather it’s goi t too start today or you park up end it’s a mystery if it’s going too move again that day… or you go carting grass and get a load on too sit in the clamp for 20 minutes trying too get the spool valves too work
You could walk too the dealers yard from our yard so be stupid not too have tractors from themAnd you've bought a 3rd!!!!!! There's just no teaching some folk
Sounds like you'll be well used to walking there

I thought must be some school children to be honest… every time they do an update it fixes one problem and creates another

only just got to do bits with ours but starting to try and get my head round the screen, have noticed a few things like speed steer turns it’s self off and won’t re engage. Or the headland management some times forgets part of the sequence.
But not to worry my dealer has rung up to tell me he can see it’s ready for a service using the the new fancy telemetry, but when they come they won’t have a clue what’s wrong with it.
Odd niggle but nothing that would stop you using themThere were murmuring's of a demo as the fastrac needs a couple of wee jobs done to the heating/air con system but I'm managing to hold them off till it gets a service

I’m finding it keeps resetting the speed limiter to 40kph and turning the 3point linkage suspension off. Do others do this as a safety feature or just mine.
