Thanks guys for the input.. yeah, no real specific questions, just my 2 weeks of working with it, and some concerns.. mainly because of my lack of knowledge on these new tractors.
lol, there's 2000# of suitcase weights out front, and 250kg wheel weights on each rear tire.. I thought at first, 'this thing is going to feel sluggish, and tear up sod in the hayfields'..
It's actually pretty 'light' on it's feet. I suppose with it's simple transmission, and the 4 cylinder engine, there just isn't enough built-in weight, and added on ballast was necessary.
Good to hear the cvt has held up.
Yeah, this 'old fart' has a long ways to go from my stick and clutch iron, to this thing! You are correct, it seems like driving a video game!
I take it it uses the Fendt transmission? Heck, maybe the whole thing is Fendt painted with Massey red and decals.. Makes no difference to me.
