Totally agree with you. much better with just one system.Yes we all know it's good as you say once you spend time on it it's fine . But this will be pretty much a 1 man machine for 3-4 years with the odd occasional driver then handed down to harvest staff etc to pull trailers /spread muck and anything else so original autopower is better for us and seeing as we have another 3 of them it's just easier .
And for my jobs I just can't see the merits/excitement about needing a joystick when it actually slows me down as I still have to use the left hand shuttle.
