jordantaylor Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 well i think it a goodtractor overall, we had one last year as outr jd 6920 packed up on us at the harvest for a few weeks so the contractors lent us one. overall it did its job well as we had it lugging over 35-40 tonne on the bale trailer and with us being in a valley it had to climb some steep hills with that load and did it ok. i would not know how it performs with mowers as the contractoe we use brings down krone triples on a john deere 7930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Just peeing in the wind here now easy murray, what you need to remember is a comment like" the most overated tractor out there" will provoke resposnses from people , especially if you dont have the proof to back it up mate, same applies to the foragers and anything elses really bud, people on here have a huge wealth of experiance, not just 5 years in the job stuff mate,belive me if you came down this this way or the lake district , yorkshire , and loads of other places we have hills to make you wince, and people farm them, like you way they have to make use of the land , just chill and learn mate, thats what i do been out of direct farming for 10 years now and still learning about modern stuff, so would never claim to know it all ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexMF Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 got these things called the Pennines that start in Scotland and go all the way down the middle of the country, (nearish to me in Liverpool too! saw no end of farming when I went on the trans Pennine express Liverpool-Leeds) and finish in the peak district in the good old Midlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
