Tractor comfort

[del_boy]

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.

The nh suspension is pretty poor. Have you front linkage fitted? If so a weight block on it will definitely help and lower the arms so theyre not at full height then the accumulator on the linkage will also be doing a bit of dampening aswell.
The real solution is to fit an extra accumulator to the suspension, you wont regret it

I’m to professional to be a trailer jockey

I value my brakes and tyres too much to be one

I actually despise road work in a tractor now. If I’m mowing or in the field all day I’m in my element.

It’s the carting silage, going for sawdust, back and forwards tanking slurry now that I could happily never do again lol.

Need to try the linkage not right up trick. Usually run about with 600kg hanging off it but it doesn’t make a massive difference unless there’s something on the rear arms too. With a trailer I find it can actually make it nose heavy at time’s.

In my experience it would be Fastrac, Valtra and Claas in that order. I haven’t driven anything else that’s close. Last Claas I tried was bloody rough but the one previous that I looked at which was around 06-07 was nearly as comfy as fastrac. Valtra seem to have it right with the T’s.

I have a Claas Arion 530 and a Puma 150 and I avoid using the Puma a lot because it’s so rough compared to the Claas.

But not cool to be bounced around I suspect, messes with control of the Mobile....

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

Got that here on a Kubota... I closed them down and found life was much better... Stupid idea that probably save a tenner...

When I first moved to Canada I bought a 300hp versatile arctic tractor. Duals on all four corners. Great reliable tractor but comfort and ride were poor. Had my fare share of back trouble over the years and it got to the point i hated driving. Decided I needed more hp and bigger tires to help the back. Bought its bigger brother with 800/32 duals all around and that was the terrible. Tougher it out for seven years until I was ready to quit farming from being in constant pain. Friends bought a Deere track tractor and went for a ride one day and couldn’t believe how stable a ride it was. As a last resort I bought an 800 series challenger and never regretted it. I can pull all nighters at seeding time and still be in working condition. Bought a second smaller 700 series to replace a magnum and love them both. Roading is a different story. If I don’t keep my mouth closed I’d probably lose teeth.

Always made me feel queasy after a day in one .T7 or T6

 

[flyonthewall]

Accumulators charged correctly, front weight, seat sprung correctly for your weight, not popular here but I slow when it’s rough. At least you’ve got suspension, more than the old boys had!

A New Holland you say? Surprised nobody has mentioned Case & New Holland air suspension upgrade kits (superglidesuspension.com)
The chap is on this forum but can't remember his user.

Is it @Colliedog from memory?

My NH T7 is a bit bouncy on the road but with the front weight on am more than happy with it. Every time I drive it I think how much better it is than my old T6 but then I have not driven anything else to compare
