Front suspension???
Someones doing well....

 

[Fendt516profi]

What you doing road work or field. Find my valtra with air front and cab is comfy to sit in

We can rule out the Ford 4000 then.......

Sounds stupid but if you wear the seatbelt you don’t get bounced around as much and makes a good difference nobody wears them but they do help

Fastrac 4220, or rubber track for just field work. End of.

I know SFA of the modern tractor but have you tried varying tyre pressure and suspension settings?

Driving a New Holland by any chance? Ask because even with cab and axle suspension their still uncomfortable compared to the competition.
Personally the most comfortable tractors I've been in are a Valtra with air suspension, Claas Arion and a Fastrac 4220 - that was head an shoulders above everything else.

Reckon tyres makes a massive difference tbh.

 

[michael N123]

My new Valtras really good like a massive difference in comfort compared to the old N3

the newHollands need a ton on the front for the suspension to slightly work

After a long day in the tractor which I do enjoy... I always feel achey and glad to get sat on the couch. My legs usually worst like a pinging sensation.

Have you front linkage or a weight block? Most front suspensions don't give much ride comfort without weight on the front in my experience.
Tyre pressures also make a difference, do you check and adjust for the work your doing?
Is your air seat adjusted correctly for you weight?
Lastly, if the terrain is rough don't drive over it at 40km/h bouncing around in the cab! Drive to the conditions..?

Correct, T6.175 .
Stotty on the road, cab goes from side to side as well as back and forward and just the same in the field.
Tyres have been tried at all pressure’s with not much difference if any.
Carrying a few injuries which doesn’t help but pretty fed up with the hurl in the New Holland.

Carting silage must be my least favourite job. Hate getting bounced around

Sign I'm getting old I suppose.


I don't normally even get a new Holland! Was relegated to Deutz last year because nobody else will drive it.

I’m 26 and I avoid it at all costs so it’s not a age thing

I had really bad knees after a long day sowing barly this year then when I got in the tractor the next day I noticed them silly aircon fans NH insist on putting in the dash and not round the cab roof where pointing straight at my knees

Sounds like you need to try one of @Colliedog suspension upgrade kits

Theres nothin to beat a fastrac for comfort after that its a claas. Nh suspension isnt great a massey and jd would be much smoother
