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.



The DynaVT trans is the Fendt Vario, developed and manufactured by Fendt in Germany. The rest of the tractor really has nothing in common with Fendt. Sisu engines used to be Valmet, a long history in Finland, where they are still manufactured. Known for high torque and excellent fuel economy. The MF 3670/80/90 and 8140/50/60 series from the 80s and 90s had Valmet engines, the forerunner to the modern Sisu. Those engines are rock solid. You are unlikely to see many issues with the engine and transmission on that machine, with proper maintenance.

Keep an eye on the SCR (DEF) system... as with any SCR, keep the DEF injector tip clean, and run clean good quality DEF. Those two practices can prevent or resolve many SCR related problems.
