| New member. Had a chance to demo a 743 today. Ran it on our field cultivator. It is without a doubt the quietest and smoothest riding piece of machinery both in the field and on the road I have ran. Cab is nice pretty much the same as our c model but more refined no more loud blower fan and can actually shut the door. Controls were a bit complicated at first but caught on rather quickly. Cvt is nice and smooth. I can only compare to a Deere ivt but it’s as smooth. I like the way the Deere ivt operates better with the f1/f2 settings and the roller wheel to set your speed. Fuel use was 18-19 gal/hr. Now the complaints. I mentioned to the gentleman who was helping me with the demo that I was not impressed with the power but wasn’t giving it a fair comparison since I hadn’t been in that field in those conditions on that day. When I got back to the shop I dropped the cultivator in and made a round. This 430hp tractor managed 6.6mph max on our 44ft tiger mate. I immediately unhooked it and hitched the 765c on. It would pull it 6.4mph on 3gal less an hour. Pretty disappointing.
