Which tractor is the most driver friendly for a 14hr + day?

[HAM135]

I was told air front and cab and Evo seat are to much they work against each other

Maybe that's the problem.

Don't get me wrong I like our valtras but just thought air all round + Evo seat would give an exceptional ride but unfortunately it doesn't.

No I’m sure the cab suspension could be softened a tough I think the front axle is good though. Superior ride to the Deere.

 

[Shavings man]

T20 all day long .

I've air front and cab and a airseat of some description we have a rough road and it's the smoothest tractor I've driven on it apart from a 20series JD se loaded with two bales on back and one on loader

Yes,been back to dealer a couple times as air bags always seem to be very hard,not much give,always seems to thump when you find a pothole at the roadside,214 with sprung cab seems to be more forgiving.

They do work better with front weight on , it makes the air bags work.

Front suspension fine,it's the cab that's the problem.

You're supposed to be sitting in it, not getting out of it!!
Door opens the same way as anything else does it not.

You've obviously not driven one on a hot day .

I prefer a tractor that has the best engine on the market , an engine that doesn’t die pulling a heavy load up a hill, a transmission that doesn’t die on a hill , an engine that doesn’t need rebuilding for various reasons , a tractor that costs €45 k less than a fendt , money that can be spent upgrading other machinery to improve output , a tractor that is every bit as comfortable to drive as a fendt , oh the answer is a valtra t254.

i was hoping you might have said an M&S tractor at the end tho

But what difference does the way the door opens matter?? Do you drive with the door open?

If it opens in direction of travel you get a nice breeze

In the case of the Fast Track,it is regulatory matter. The fast track ,with its truck type directly linked steering ,independent suspension and , yes , the way the doors open are all related to it being the only tractor that meets the legal regulations to operate at the speeds it achieves as all the regulations pertain to its HGV style design.

Did you ever see a lorry with a door opening from the front.

It's not a lorry

 

[agri knives]

Why would you need to open the door of a tractor and not need to open the door of a lorry.

 

[bobk]

Why would you need to open the door of a tractor and not need to open the door of a lorry.

Don't know , never ploughed with a lorry
