I'd want Ac over Dc. :whistle:
For a minute I thought that was a reference to music I didn’t get ?. Anyhow, I’ve no experience of ac but the dynamic command is lovely when driving anyway, the auto feature makes it almost a Vario when on the road anyway. I would also believe that the dynamic command would be better for heavy pulling?

i have very briefly tried a dynamic command and the gearbox is very smooth and more gears than the sle box. I would also agree that dynamic command would be far better at draft work than auto command

Have been persuaded to buy a new T6.160 with the six cylinder engine. The deal was so good that it became a no brainer, and I get a warranty and 5 years to pay for it, with no interest. New Holland seem to be falling over themselves to sell equipment at the moment.
Thanks to everyone for your comments.:)(y)

Bad day ye dont learn somethin lol pity its not available in dc. Wonder how it performs compared to same power 4 pot


Wasn’t to worried about having the ElectroComand gearbox, because although the Dynamic Command is probably better, my initial reaction when the salesman was talking about it,was that sounds like something else to go wrong.
Apart from that, having cut my teeth on Fordson Majors, then a Ford 5000, etc etc the SLE gearbox feels like a Rolls Royce!
Besides,how many gears do you really need?

I've a couple of new t 6's and the brakes are shocking, very dangerous in my opinion but dealer not interested in doing anything about them. Been blue for over 20 years and change tractors regularly but will be looking at other colours next time
