Haha thanks, it's actually a big sheet of the reflective chevron tape as used for wide load markers etc cut to the shape of the weight!

Have you run Deutz-Fahr combines before or is this your first? Any particular reason for your choice? You don't see many.

Yes I have been running a Deutz Fahr combine for a few years now. I like the reliability and hence relatively cheap to run also gives a very clean sample

It was a lease return.... so yeah it was a good buy
2014 model so has a lot of 8700 series upgrades... cab fan still sounds like a 747 tho

The 8700S series is no better in that department either... But at least we usually only reach 20-25 degrees on most summer days so it's not a problem

Least it works. I always wondered how people got on with Fastracs in hotter countries like the USA because every fastrac I've ever been in had aircon that couldn't really cope with a British summer day. Bearable but not what I would call an atmosphere that went by totally unnoticed. Least with a Case or Deere you knew the aircon would keep up.

We tried a 4220 sometime ago.... ac was definitely a weakness

Did you find the 4220 was powerful enough for what you wanted? The ones I have seen around here don't stay for very long. Fendt seem to be the tractor of choice in all honesty.

 

[Deerefarmer]

Nah... it was underpowered... we even tried a chip on it.... comfortable to drive but not what we are looking for

Be handy over here corn time with that blade. Pushing bogged tractors and trailers about mainly
