On the brakes, the neighbor actually did a test in our area for the state highway patrol when we were working on speed identification sticker laws.  The neighbor also has a Fendt.  We were all shocked to find out the Fendt actually stopped much quicker than the JCB.  JCB's have dual-caliper brakes which work well.  Both tractors have identical trailer braking systems.

English JCB's also go 42 mph, only JCB's in Germany actually go 50 mph as that is the only place it is actually legal.

I'm curious what you like about the setup of the JCB for roading over the new series Fendt's?

I will say it sounds like you already have your mind made up and your JCB dealer has sold you well.  Must not have a good Fendt dealer close by??  Good luck with your tractor as JCB does make an excellent tractor.  I was just trying to compare and contrast the differences of both.  I've been to England on a JCB trip and it was an excellent trip and really good people that work there.
