Alberta, Canada | I guess it's true what they say, AGCO - Ya gotta drive one, but I'm just a poor boy who hasn't yet explored the world to any great extent, but I have no complaints about Deere's IVT. I agree that it's not beneficial for heavy tillage when it comes to fuel consumption, but otherwise what's so bad about it?
I've a longing to try a Fendt lately (last 6-12 months) but haven't because I'm not overly serious in actually buying one. We're in the final stages of getting a Deere, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "really want to try a Fendt, and a Valtra". Seems unfair, almost trickery to let other guys bring one of theirs out when I'm really only interested in seeing how they stack up, and not actually interested in buying one unless they turn out to be God's gift to farmers. Fuel consumption isn't a big selling point for me, it'll put 2500 hours on in 3-5 years, with maybe 5% of that being light tillage. So for loader and general chore work, being happy with IVT already, what makes CVT so great? AGCO's really lacking in the cab.

BTW, Corey, you mentioned the AGCO model you're considering, what about Deere? Small Frame or Large Frame? You'll find a huge difference when comparing the two.

Lots of AGCO RT questions (vs. JD 7000 series)
