You boys are spoilt with built in cup holders.i use a 6/8 inch length of pto guard to hold cups in my old tractors
nick...
In the case puma the cup holder on the RH side is big enough to fit a 2L bottle in it but I have a couple of small bits of pto tube with some gaffer tape around it to make a snug fit so that it holds a can or 250ml bottle without them falling over, the bigger bottle goes in the pocket in front of steering wheel which also keeps it cool when A.C. on

Old 6250 holder was pants, wouldnt hold anything for long. My fendt has a good one and my flask never moves. Could do with a second for hot weather.
I am now going to have to sit in the tractor for the 1st time and only be interested in cup holders.

Feeling that I let the TFF massive down last night by posting a photo of the tractor and not being bothered to walk to the key safe so I could get in. I will do better next time :)

Main beauty of the Case cab is that it is so light and airy. Love it.

6250r will walk all over an 828 all day long but the fendt cab layout is hard to beat.

Had the 2 on my steepest field (combine has issues steep) with a big cultivator on. Your not far wrong we thought the 828 would have been better. I do prefer the fendt operating system but I use it much more than JD so I dont usually have to think about it. I really like the gen 6 system its another step forwards.

old tractor had the little joystick alongside the main one which was rarely used and annoying as one of the spools never had its own switch. Think this will be better

Very tidy. I’m sure they’ve thought this out but does your lower arm ever accidentally press some of those other buttons or knock the PTO off if your using the joystick and hit a bump? They look as though they will be right under where your arm sits.

Not a problem I have had.

If you buy a Landrover discovery cup holder off eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384150557338
It sits perfectly in the rubbish cup holder and gold a can perfectly !
Also Fold Agri make a bottle holder that fits on the side of the dash and takes cool air off one of the vents. Works brilliantly and much better than the JD fridge.

No, they designed it so your elbow and wrist get to sit on a delightful hard plastic so the only thing that gets knocked is your bones!👍

Old one was a premium new is ultimate, that gets a more expensive seat, fridge and led all round. Front pto on both tractors, it will do most of our mowing. Went for a laminated front screen, if you have seen my Dear Mr Fendt thread

Still no dab with JD:(

Those new JD led lights are amazing.
