Christ, the Zetor will be more of a tractor than any compatible new NH

What's the issues with NH?

This sums up what I am thinking now. It is an age thing for me because that is not how I thought 10 years ago. It doesen't have to be JD they just came to mind as the most popular premium brand. My next tractor will probably be my last so I want to get it right. My local dealer (where I would probably get the best trade price) also sells Hurlimanns, any of you Cumbrian folk run XB's or XM's and if so how do you rate them?

I’ve a Hurlimann & I like it, there’s quite few in the area & owners rate them?? Mines a lot older than what you’d be looking at but has aircon/airseat & powershift - none of which were on my wish list when searching & certainly weren’t on the fergies I was looking at! But they make a hell of a difference to using the tractor, I’ve sciatica & the airseat means I can drive for longer without being crovocked! Therefore I reckon go for spec/deal over brand! A hurlimann is the same as a claas & a deutz & there dealers are fairly near to Tunstalls to compare deals!

Getting softer, IMO

The new ones certainly aren't a patch on the old 40, TS or TM series they made

Careful - depends on the model.

There is 1 Claas which is built by SAME. But none of the SAME/Deutz/Hurlimann ranges are built by Claas
