In the 800 odd hours driving the tractor I can say only 2-3 times have the beacon's been bent down, not once have they smashed.ive got no idea also why the beacons have to be set into the clouds, to be honest just above the front mirror mounts would be plenty high enuff. bet there is plenty of them smashed on all sorts set that high
fair enuff its just out of proportion for a 205hp tractor, now a dyna-vt 305hp thats more like it ! same physical size but all the extra horses.In the 800 odd hours driving the tractor I can say only 2-3 times have the beacon's been bent down, not once have they smashed.
We have a 7720 and smaller 7616 and the 8s is in a different league in every way! The dyna 7 box is light years in front of the dyna 6. Drive it in auto mode mode on the stick all the time and although not a cvt, drives very similar. Engine revs and gears all done be the tractor you just put a target speed in. The comfort and visibility is on another level also. The 7s etc looks a joke in comparison in my opinion.

yeah you need 28 boards for wider tyres but 650 is what they were designed for.I'm running no8's with 580's. For everything else 650's would be better but worry would be too wide ploughing

its been 30year since we had a 3fr kv on No8s mind & still have a 4fr on 9's
Had a small issue with the drakes stopping you go 55k down the road which was sorted pretty quick, with any new design you'll get little issues crop up, so far I've been very impressed. Its a Lovely place to spend the day ploughing, mowing, etc just a shame they couldn't of got a similar 4 post cab, be it a little smaller for the 7s 6s.fair enuff its just out of proportion for a 205hp tractor, now a dyna-vt 305hp thats more like it ! same physical size but all the extra horses.
no Softwear issues at all? cert heard my share of issues with them
Ive sat in one but thats it.
Far too high wont get thru shed doors here. even with beacons folded down.
Surely they have to re-jig that cab to fit 7S/6S chassis tho.Had a small issue with the drakes stopping you go 55k down the road which was sorted pretty quick, with any new design you'll get little issues crop up, so far I've been very impressed.

Copies are mid 70's now & genuine £116 each with discount !! its not a cheap swopI'll likely put 28 on when these wear out
I did say it needs to be a little smaller than the 8s cab in my post to be fair.Surely they have to re-jig that cab to fit 7S/6S chassis tho.
Am old school i still prefer an analogue rev counter !!
Data5 is in wrong place in 7719S which might be moved yet in mine.
Yeah but no sign of that for a while could be 3-4 yearsI did say it needs to be a little smaller than the 8s cab in my post to be fair.
A smaller version of an 8s cab but make it 5 pillar. There's no need for a massive door to get in and out and it's nice to have a side window to let some air inSurely they have to re-jig that cab to fit 7S/6S chassis tho.

what n just have not even a digi display with the revs? really?Surely the proper old school way is no rev counter at all!
Am I reading this right that all demo tractors should be registered?The track settings are set narrow and front wheel steering lock is always limited, plus the front mudguards are often not matched to the front track width. They leave that to the dealer to set according to the customer’s track preference and dealer judgement pre-delivery. What I can’t stand is lazy dealership staff not setting these things properly before delivery to the customer.
I doubt whether these will be registered and go out on demo other than a demo round their yard. Most are sold before they are ordered from the factory but this dealer is known for putting large stock orders in, so some may be available for sale. Might be wrong. If MF put their own demonstrator out there, then they might be more keen.
Apart from anything else, it takes at least a couple of days to get to know this kind of tractor and the sophistication is not everyone’s cup of tea. Certain dealers now offer demonstrators with a maximum of ten clock hours before it goes on-hire at a substantial hourly charge plus delivery and collection charge on top if a sale does not result. Which is perfectly fair in my opinion. Farmer and dealer go around the whole machine before and after demo noting any damage and any such done on the demo will be charged regardless of sale, plus a genuine comprehensive insurance document for the full value of the machine must be produced and verified before it leaves the dealer's yard.
I have no idea what the policy of any particular dealer is in full but if I were involved and in light of some of the irresponsible clowns I’ve seen having demos in the past, that is the policy I would adopt if an on-farm demo of a tractor were to occur. That’s a big ‘if’ because a tractor has to be registered before going on a demo and it instantly becomes an used tractor.
The only times I’ve ever had a demo, and I’ve had four in total, they were offered to me [I didn’t enquire for them] more to evaluate the model or even the brand, by the dealer on behalf of the manufacturer than as a prospective customer [not immediately anyhow]. I made fairly comprehensive written reports of my findings. An early Case Maxxum was one such and that had a very long list of issues in my opinion. Within a couple of years nearly all of the issues, such as the deletion of ribbing in the steering wheel rim, the adoption of a glass door to the bottom, the up/down hitch control having the slow decent before the rapid section and the necessary inclusion of a neutral position for the shuttle switch. There was much more which I forget about but the one thing that they didn’t modify was the overhang of the ventilation housing above and behind the cab roof which restricted visibility for trailer loading. A factory engineer was in touch with me about the Case and the importer about an equally long list of design flaws in the very early Deutz Agrotrons, almost all remedied in the series2 models. Pity they didn’t commission farmer reports before launching the new design tractors for sale.
Surely the proper old school way is no rev counter at all!

If they are lent out to anyone that is even likely to take them on a public road, yes, of course. They also and obviously have to be insured. Not third party fire and theft either, but fully comprehensive for any driver.Am I reading this right that all demo tractors should be registered?
