Good for you.
Doesn't take away the fact that, for £100K+, the New Holland's suspension is awful. So yes, for that size of tractor, with that price tag in 2021 they're bone shakers.
Comfort is not New Hollands strong point.
I wonder whether the new MF 8s series will be a comfortable ride on country lanes when towing a fully loaded 12tonne + grain trailer??
Thankfully I no longer drive tractors,but as said above for what tractors cost new , the ride in them still leaves a lot to be desired.
A shame the designers don’t put as much effort in to producing a tractor as comfortable as a truck on the road , as they do adding more and more electronics , digital this and that etc, etc.

But a truck is made for the road a tractor is predominantly designed for the field. Fastrac keeps getting mentioned as been very comfy the closest thing as a tractor designed for the road
