Have no problems with the product, just not pleased with the dealer so looking at other options

If you've got it from the deere salesman on island magee I woudnt trust him as far as I could throw him!

 

[renewablejohn]

Yes. Used it for 2 years back when I was starting out in farming down here

Can you remember what size header it was.

No the 8r has e23

 

[Agriimark]

E23 over a ivt anyday for heavy draft work. Better performance and seamless changes imo

Are you going to try an 8rx?

Are you going to try an 8rx?

Tried one last year, but being spread out over 40mile + radius it doesn’t suit tracks. Would like to try an 8r with the tyre inflation kit on it when it comes out

We tried one a couple of wks ago and on the land it was superb but wasn’t to keen on the road work .

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

Tried a 7r 330 the other day. Was nice. At 200k though I'd rather find a tidy 2nd hand 8r. Better weight to power ratio and bigger cab.

Guessing its not for tight yard work!

 

[Romeogolf]

Won’t be looking at a loader on it, even though it would be awesome for straw hauling. However, it turns around in a smaller area than my Landrover. 4 wheel steer makes it surprisingly nimble.

same cab on 7 and 8 r

This may come as a surprise but my CVX 230 turns slightly tighter than the one I had on demo

Seems like the 8R has better visibility forward, or is the picture misleading?

What's your normal choice of brand ?

I've put 1200hrs on mine now and still miss the JD's for some jobs

 

[Bob lincs]

We have ordered a 4220 and I’m really looking forward it getting it .we’re all JD here so will be a big change for us . If the jcb had JD command arm screen and auto power it would be perfect .

Fendt tranny is the biggest let down for me . It gives up long before the engine same as a 700 series fendt does.


I tried them as much as I could on demo and was always impressed but this one is just lacking the grunt of the JD.
