Had a day on this 7719. I drove a 7719 dyna 6 before from this company so I assumed that it was this tractor but upon setting it into gear it didn't move. I eventually hit the throttle and away it went, so a dyna vt it is. Pleasant surprise as I have only ever driven a vt once for an hour at most.
Conclusion, it is like they did their best to make it as complicated and illogical as possible. I am sure I would get the hang of it when driving it for a good while though.
Having 2 gears that you can only shift while standing still is gotta be the most stupid idea out there in vario land along with jd's need to make an autopower move while in gear.
However I can give credit to mf solely on the idiotic idea to put the indicator on the right.
The whole tractor is really not my cup of tea but I did enjoy driving it. wouldn't mind driving it in anger for a few days more.

A young lady with a couple of kiddies asked me was the 'hay' on my vehicle any good for rabbit bedding ?
Well it's actually straw, I replied ,and it's perfect for rabbits .
How much would you charge me for a carrier bagful.....
£5 ......oooh that's cheap can I fill 2 carrier bags please .....
So we pulled enough out of the bale and off she went chuffed to bits and me 10 bartokens better off !
In the shop I see they were selling hay in a tiny bag for £6 ........I've been done again
I think it has been said before, but you sir could sell sand to the arab's 😂 if i enclose a cheque for a few pound could you possibly buy a lottery ticket for me. I fancy my chances 😂
