The Demo Thread

What did you think of it? I found they were much nicer to drive than look at.

Loved it,compared to my disco 5 I found it lovely to drive...reminded me of driving my old disco 4

I had to 'drive' an mf like that yesterday to tow the weedwiper we were using for our PA2f. The owner sat on the auxilliary seat to tell me how to do it. The last tractor I drove was an M reg Zetor I think.
The owner is doing his assessment just before me next week so I've asked him to do the same again.

Was the wiper as wide as the tractor?

Verdict ... it's not a John Deere

That's going to make the haybob look right fancy

Commercial?

Had this on demo for a couple days.this week View attachment 963899

Was the wiper as wide as the tractor?

Only inches in it. Couple of inches each side.

Its a sisu they are super tight when new, work them hard for 500 hours and it will pull like a train

Very true

Laughed out loud at this, Ducati would be the kind of guy who had an official Land Rover lunch box.

Round here Puma 150’s drive triples!

Those Puma 150’s are putting out 230-240 mind

We had this on demo this week. We thought it may replace one of the loadalls, and a digger, and the hedgecutter.

It is a very nice machine, it takes some getting used to though!
It would actually do everything we wanted (just) but only with a dedicated operator, so not for us unfortunately.

Now if we’re talking demos....

What was the price on this?

 

[ColinV6]

Waiting on a T6.180 dynamic to come Tuesday to try it out. I’ve only heard good things about them. However even being smaller and more efficient In my head it won’t be as good as the T7.210.

Very much looking forward to trying it leading grass, then slurry and rear discharge spreader.

Now there's a relief!!

4) Looks a bit odd with the bonnet seemingly detached from the cab but I guess it's unique

More and more manufacturers are doing that now since it both allows some more wiggle room for the cab suspension to do its job but more importantly it reduces the amount of noise going into the cab.
New Deutz models also look like that for example...

There's a YouTube channel called "duckgirl 86" bosses one of those about, bloody good operator.

Bit gutless tbh for a 225hp tractor boosting to 265hp.
Could only mow at 3 kph so we took it off, put our JD 6215 on and relegated Massey to the tedder to hang its head in shame

Back end is a bit of a mess too

Just giving a wave to the Massey police ,they will be watching your comments.!
Anything negative and we will never hear from you again....

Noticed our newest John Deere is the same, nothing at all touching the cab. Not sure if the R’s have always been like it or just 21 Model year, I never noticed it on the 16 plate
