Have nearly the setup you are considering (minus the 120" centers) in the green color (7920 IVT IFS 14"rubber).

Use it just as you. Runs a 16 row planter, a 1500gal 80' sprayer, and a 600bu. grain cart. Have run it two years and love it. With the IFS and active seat it rides like a dream. Spray at 15mph. Can race through the field with an empty cart and not bounce of the ceiling.

However its not perfect. The IVT is a little quirky. Seems to maybe be a little time delayed from the stick. Find it works best to put the same operater in the cab and not switch as you have to get use to it.
I like it you just have to get use to it.

I love the IFS but on a full grain cart you possibly get a little more front to rear tractor rocking because the front of the tractor can flex or spring independant of the front axle.

Have never really used it for heavy tillage so can't comment on that.

Don't know what AGCO uses for hydraulics or hydraulic controls, but Deeres have always served me well in that department. Had a red tractor of which hydraulics overheated anytime the tem got past the low eightys, not good when spraying.

The AGCO may be a good tractor, but around here they are a tough commodity to get your money out of come trade in time.

Good luck! Whatever you get you'll like the IVT and IFS plus narrow rubber for how you're planning on using it.
