The Demo Thread

The anti jackknife feature is good - press and hold the forward button on the joystick so it holds your forward speed and when you brake it only brings on the trailer brakes reducing the chance of the trailer pushing the tractor down the hill.
it’s a good feature. Not so handy when you get caught out and need to engage it quickly.
Think the Command Pros have something similar?

Not wanting to come across as argumentive but the tractor brakes are still on, the button just prevents the drive from being from disconnected by overriding the peadle switch. Well the one's I've owned anyway.

Yeah definitely wrong .

As I actually like the fastrac . There's a few things that are pretty annoying doing some jobs but there's plenty good thing's about it .

Just the same with JD's and when the time comes to change it'll be a very difficult decision between the two of them just as it was when we got the jcb .

Fair enough. Not the way it comes across to me but must be misreading it

Some of the latest models can apply trailer air brakes without even touching foot brake pedal.

They apply the air brakes if you pull back on the joystick, I'm sure you need it switched on though.

Another vote for the old autopower here. Tried command pro and can’t get along with it. Maybe it’s just me getting older and like what I like and know.

Gone command pro on latest tractor love it so far, but only 100 hrs in yet!

There's nowt really wrong with it about my biggest issue is that the switches aren't proportional so yes you can duplicate the lift and spools onto it but you haven't got exactly the same level of control on the joystick as with the paddles but it's better than some I've used .

I did 12 hrs with it in the day and a half lots of turning in small fields and headlands and got on fine a lot better than I did trying to drive the fastrac in a different way to what I'm used to but thr command pro just isn't for me

Good tractor, not much difference from my current 7310r. Still can’t get to grips with the command pro. Keep pulling handle wrong way in reverse and speeding up instead of slowing down like autopower Would probably get used to it after time. Those trelleborg tyres are garbage though. Not a patch on michelin.

I thought you'd a 828?

Or did I imagine that!

 

[TheEarlOfMoray]

Oh and you need to be a monkey to get up and put the starfire dome on. There is steps up the side and one the other side of exhaust to stand on but the exhaust is that big you can’t get round it. Poor design

No never had a fendt here. Got a 7280r as well
