Profi editorial boo-boo.

[Cowabunga]

Anyone else noticed the big editorial mistake in December 21's Profi? Massive mistake. Either that or perhaps they are testing their readers to see if they actually read the articles?

Funny i used to like profi but now the only thing worth reading sometimes is the machine management bit. But you still buy it in case you might miss something

So have you read it and noticed something odd about some of it this month? Or have I got it horribly wrong myself?

Not read it give us a clue

Stopped getting it a decade ago, when it dawned on me that £300k combines weren't my bag.

I've just had a quick look but not noticed anything? My big complaint is that it now seems to be printed on paper that my local chipshop would reject for wrapping chips in! Mags I get for free have far better paper quality!!

So what mistake have you spotted?

I see what he has found, its so glaringly obvious!!

It says the Optum 270CVX is 210kW, when in actual fact its 212kW.

Well spotted Duck.

Havent got it yet

Not had it since it occurred to me that I would never be interested in, or able to afford almost anything that they test.

They've reprinted a Deutz test from 25 years ago without really explaining why other than a tiny "25 years of Profi" label. Is this what you thought was a mistake?

That must be it,I had to read most of it to be sure

Yes. There is no explanation. The little decal might mean anything. I just had a feeling of deja-vu reading a review of a near twenty-five year old tractor design. They either missed out an introduction or set it as a test for reader attention. Its easily found if you are looking for it but not so much when you stumble across it, not knowing your tractors,

That just shows that I don't read every word of this stuff either. Completely missed that and admit that I skim-read or miss out stuff that doesn't interest me, jumping straight to the nitty-gritty.

just looking at pictures..........

I might get it again if they're reviewing 25 year old gear.

 

[DeeGee]

When they start testing and doing comparisons on tractors and telescopic handler that cost under £30k secondhand then I might be interested, as it is now most of the content is of no relevance to me so I never buy it.

 

[FarmyStu]

If you subscribe you do get access to all previous tests and reviews on the website going back 25 years and you can download them. I use it quite often.

It’s been poor for years, I really used to enjoy it too.
Stopped getting in when every other issue was half full of global farm economics section in the middle, what did that have to do with machinery?!
And the 2 issues into 1 ‘harvest special’ is just a cop out.
Farm machinery journal, classic tractor and large farm and contractor mag seem to be best these days.
