The Demo Thread

[Jerry]

Looks tidy. Did I spot in a previous photo it's a 62 reg? Are we talking cost to change for that demo tractor or new build same spec as the demo?

Yes 62 reg.

Cost to change.

Demo day here, although I expect this will also soon feature in the ‘new toy day’ thread with alarming certainty.

sorry for the lateness but how is visibility in that thing. Looks like the loader is going to give you tunnel vision.

Opinions always welcome

it hauled two loads of wheat 18 miles each way today. Gearbox is lovely. Cab is nice. Comfortable on road. Pulls nicely on road and up hills. The variable gear changes make a big difference.

Would like to get it on ground work but nothing much needed doing right now.

The seat makes a huge difference to comfort, I assume it’s got the dynamic comfort one, heated etc. There’s also 2 electric lumbar support buttons on the rear of the backrest you can fiddle with. What gearbox have you used until now?
We’ve both a dynamic command and an autocommand and they are both great, but the autocommand is next level.

Stick your hand round the back on the left hand side when your next in it. Can get the lower back support set just perfect. It’s really an awesome seat.

Talking about a 100k tractor and the biggest positive is the seat?

A seat is a modular item.

Just buy that seat and stick in a different brand?

Yes 62 reg.

Cost to change.

Cost to change for a new build like the demo, 70k+ I would be saying.

If it’s that cost to change I’ll pass…..

I've just decided to change my JD, fair spec for a nearly full spec and it's not far off 15 quid an hour. A bit younger and less hours than yours though.
I'll be hellish surprised if it comes in less than £12/13 an hour, that's means I'm going to make a stab at 67,950 to change.........

This is where the argument of changing every 5-6 year’s rather than every 10 comes into its own a bit.
To change a 10+ year tractor to a brand new one isn’t doable anymore.

Yes, did price a puma for comparison but not much difference in price.

It’s like reading POA on an advert this is!

Is that trade in value though? Not real life value?
