[QUOTE="Genesis, post: 7687900, member: 873"] Thanks for the replies so far, pretty much what I had expected really!!! Most of the work we have probably only needs about 160hp, so that is why I am even considering the SWB. Plus, it's probably about 1.5 tons lighter than the LWB equivalent. I'm wondering would a LWB be a bit clumsy on the sprayer? It's only a 2800L with 21 metre booms, although that will likely be changed to a slightly bigger sprayer in a few years. A neighbour of mine had a puma 175cvx for a short while but did not like it. It was one of those special edition jobs with the venom paint, so came on large tyres. One complaint was that the steering lock was very poor and the other that he thought it was a little gutless. In fairness, he didn't really know how to set it up properly so it may not have been the tractors fault, but I prefer to be well on top power wise so that would concern me with regards to the SWB and possibly a more power sapping 2 range transmission. I would much prefer the LWB, I just want to be sure that it won't be too clumsy for some of the jobs it will be doing. I should add that it will be a lowish hour used machine we will be looking for if that makes any difference. Thanks!!! [/QUOTE]
