Woodham, Ontario | If you talk to the right engineers, they listen. There are a few things on the H480 loaders that I suggested and they told me they followed my suggestion. I drove some of the first hand built 7Rs at the PEC and I didn't like the way they accelerated, when you increased the engine speed from 1000 to 2000 the tractor would drive 4 times faster. The LF 7x30s do this too. I was jumping between a 7R and a 900 Fendt and the Fendt was much more predictable. I had to do a lot of explaining to make them understand what the exact problem was. Came back the next year and it was fixed. They were a little jerky still at that point, still a pre-production model. Now I own a 2011 7230R and the transmission works the way it should.
Deere doesn't fly in people from all over North America and Europe to not listen to them. They fed us pretty good to! Probably cost everyone on here another $.05 per tractor
New suggestions:
Just like kinze electric drive planter units, I think everything can go electric instead of hydraulic. The ISOBUS standard is starting to take off finally, we should also have a universal power connector to power the implements. It's going to take a company the size of Deere to standardize it.

What would you say to John Deere's tractor engineers?
