[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 8135435, member: 615"] The geometry of valtra front suspension, and position of the seat relative to the centre of pitch is near perfect (means is not like sitting on a bucking bronco). Air bags are standard on 6 cylinder (optional on 4) and make it like riding in an executive coach. Others feel like up top of a double decker by comparison Class were industry comfort benchmark 20 years ago with the (Renault) 4 point sprung cab and carraro double wishbone axle suspension. Though very effective, it was a very high maintainance design Deutz dragged themselves into the 20th century about 7 years ago when a totally new and very good design of front axle suspension was introduced. The old system, though very effective, had limited carrying capacity and vertical movement resulted in a lot of driver head nod pitch In addition to the excellent suspension, what really sets the valtra comfort higher than others (in my opinion) is the extremely well thought out spacious cabin which is filled with intuitive positioning of the controls You never knock the wrong lever or button reaching for another. Vision is wonderful to the sides, up top to a loader, and especially to the front, especially in this day and age of huge engine bonnets and tyres. The forward seating position makes the pickup hook invisible other than in the mirror (which is totally unobtrusive other than when needed, please note Mr. New Holland). However hooking up to the long lift arms is no bother, and the seat swivel lever is perfectly positioned to prevent even having to strain around looking over your shoulder Engines while wonderfully torquey, do like drinking on the job, even after a remap.... Anyway, what was this thread about? I've probably wandered quite far off topic by now? 🙄 [/QUOTE]
