There is a new 6s
Probably 7s also?

New telehandlers also, just finished watching the born to farm presentation. Nothing to write home about though.

Had the first half hour on at my lunch. Didn't even see everything about the 5S. Seemed to be a lot of waffle

They no longer bother having fluent English speakers presenting machines. Ive no doubt that the narrator worked hard and did his very best but it is very hard work to listen to this. Quite frankly I don't see anything new, only a slight refresh, mainly of styling. If there is anything more, it was certainly either not disclosed or lost in the translation.
The most significant improvement I noticed and which was briefly mentioned was that the cats are relocated below the vertical exhaust pipe rather than inside it, which should surely improve long term running costs due to less and cheaper to replace broken exhausts.

I was so modest that i chose the small farm show, it had zero tractors suited for our needs.

I didn't realise that choosing the farm size meant a different show

Why should they? Aren't they based in France and broadcasting to a global audience?

No new vario on the Massey then ?

In this particular case they are broadcasting to English speakers. There are other videos for non-English speaking countries and people. Why should they? Because they presumably wish to sell their tractors and for that it would be great if their promotional material was rather easier listening and understandable. There are several parts of that video that are very difficult to follow. For instance, is the power boost 30hp, which is what I heard, or 13hp? Previous models have certainly been nearer 13hp than 30. I've listened three times to that claim and I still think I hear 30hp, which isn't impossible or improbable of course.

Next time they might as well have a fisherman from Dunbar, Scotland narrate it if being understandable isn't a priority.

Overall these are very poor promotional efforts in my opinion. They are all fluff and zero substance. Might as well have posted a few photos with no explanation up, as they would be just as informative. The tractors and their dealers deserve better than this.

1700 and 5700M for us "small" people.

A half hearted looking new range, they could have made more of an effort with the cab all of the progress with the 8s not filtered down the range, no d7 either, a cheap makeover at best, when jd gobble up another chunk of the mf market share, you can have no sympathy for them, their own bad choices.

I heard 30 hp too

Imo its a shame they did not release the 6 and 7 series with a smaller version of the dyna 7 trans, l can live with a revamp of the older cab its better to have a smaller door on the smaller chassis tractors that are going to be climbed in and out of 100 times a day. Just my opinion

Do you get a dress. With one! .I'm usually happy with a pair of overalls . Different times I guess!

Which seat is it ?

The one behind steering wheel

If it is one of the Maximo premium models there will be a tab on the base that you need to flip to allow full suspension range. One to allow for and aft. Possibly one to control lateral [sideways] movement on some variants. Then there are the standard controls you get on lesser variants plus seat heating and possibly even blown air ventilation on the very top seats.
