Got this on demo at the moment. Feels big (especially with the loader on at the moment) but is a really nice place to spend your time and probably wouldn't take too much to get used to it as there isn't actually that much difference compared to the size of the current tractors
We’ve a 7720 with a loader on it’s a beast of a thing quick steer makes loader work a joy

The loader looks massive! I don't believe this one has got any sort of quick steer but still feels quick as the current tractors are lacking in the steering pump area so are too heavy really at tickover. To be fair the mf wouldn't be the main loader tractor anyway as it is that little bit bigger than the current one so wouldn't even fit in a couple sheds and can't really see the point in "beating up" this one as the main loader when there is 2 others already, would more likely spend most of its time off the tractor except for grass and straw bales (due to front/cab suspension, 50k and being more stable without the weight thanks to a heavier ass on it) and possibly loading dung out field as the tractor that would be going for it doesn't even have a loader

It looks like exclusive spec is it steering ready?

I must admit I have not driven a modern loader tractor for years. I should think that with a vario box and a modern controller for the thing it would be no different to driving a loading shovel and AOK in the field.
Cvt and loader is a great combination. We have quite some loader work, but can't justify a dedicated machine for just loading, so all 3 of our tractors have frontloaders.

The best one to get, or at least so i've been told. (y)

What is that field used to produce? Looks like tumble weed dessert

There will be barley in there this year. It pretty much is tumble weed desert but with a low input low output system it can make a little profit each year it’s cropped.

This is marginal country so only gets a crop every other year and try to keep the weeds under control in the off year.

Look at the bottom buttons on the pillar where the ignition key is if they are illuminated then quick steer is one of them

Only been near the tractor this morning to confirm that yesterday (my day off) something had happened to cause the door to start hitting the diesel tank filler neck, turned out the cap breather wasn't breathing so the tank had expanded massively :eek:

I will check those buttons tomorrow and see if its there 👍

Out of curiosity, do you know if there is a way to dump the pressure in the 3rd service when the joystick is set up to use the blue buttons as open and close as all the dealer guy could suggest when asked was go into the dash and change it back to normal mode where you hold the button and work the stick for open and close

Right go into the dash scroll to the loader screen then down to H3/H4 switch them off then just flick the two buttons on the joystick it should then dump the pressure
