[QUOTE="Genesis, post: 7687411, member: 873"] Hi, just wondering what are people's views on how these 2 tractors compare to each other? Having driven a few Auto command equipped T7s recently, I really like the transmission. I realise that the SWB only has a 2 range transmission compared to the 4 ranges in the LWB, is there a noticeable difference between the 2 both on the road or in the field? Ideally I think I would prefer the LWB, as they seem to have a better reputation, but I think it might be a bit too big and heavy for most of the jobs we have for it. Main tasks would be sowing with either a 3M powerharrow drill with front press, or a 4M rapid. Fertiliser spreading with a 3TON spreader, ploughing with a 5 furrow KV EG reversible plough ,spraying with a 2800L trailed sprayer, and a little bit of carting with 16 to 18 ton trailers. There is also a 5.5M disc harrow but I doubt either would handle that on ploughed ground as it takes most of 300hp on hilly fields. There isn't a lot of roadwork involved, 90%+ would be field work. Not interested in other brands, as we have a great independent mechanic locally, and the NH main dealer is only 20 mins away. Thanks!!!! [/QUOTE]
