Proper toys!!
We had an 8rx and cultivator on demo last year and had to insure it for £500,000 !!
yes. no front weight eitherIs that weight the tractor only? Füv k me!
Would be a shame if it'd sink.yes. no front weight either
Christ bet that can burn some derv!yes. no front weight either
According to dash readouts it was using less than our Quadtrac, but that is no advert!! It pulled same cultivator as 485 quad at more or less the same speed, but I am sure if we were in a more difficult situation the quad would ultimately out pull it. The ride was far better on the rx though, in fact it was amazing for a tracked vehicle.Christ bet that can burn some derv!
They look aweful might be a great machine though
Beauty in the eye of the beholder... I think they look really smart, saw one at Pughs the other day - their looks is a real marmite situation Performance sounds good, reliability seems to be MF's biggest bugbearMassey 8S VT on demo. Not a fan of the aesthetics, but lovely to drive, super quiet too View attachment 1061107View attachment 1061106View attachment 1061108

Yes I guess it will. That JD was heavier than I expected and interested to see quad weight.Quad will have lighter footprint... longer wider tracks.
