NCC Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Datatronic never turns out right on the camera. I'll know it's my 6180 though if you run off with it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Looks like it's fitted with a gameboy as standard too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other green Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 In the first picture Nathan, What do the two erect nipples to the right of the hydraulic levers, by the door post, do? Are they recreation-only fittings? Do you find the Datatronic info useful. We looked at an MF (series older) and was told by the salesman that although datatronic was a good idea, it was unreliable. We have found out since that the salesman is often full of poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there for an Accord combi drill control panel or something along those lines as before I got it it was always on a 4m Accord drill with front hopper \ \ To be honest if Datatronic wasn't fitted, I don't think I'd miss it. It's alright and useful, I can find out wheelslip, set my wheelslip limit, acres an hour, distance etc but you can live without it, if needs be \ \ I would say it's about 80-90% accurate if calibrated correctly ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye join in MFF, I want to know what every little knob, button and lever does ;) :D :D It's on a P MFF so 1996 is it \ \ You might be right on the one gear stick. I did try a 6180 with the electric shuttle on the steering wheel column, can't remember if it had 2 gear sticks or not though. Was told to always go with the mech shuttle though as the electric one was very unreliable, hopping in to neutral and sometimes not selecting at all where common faults I believe \ \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schw84 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 does the gear shift confuse, you cos when your going forward to go up a gear u press it forwards, now when you change direction you think oh il go up a gear, but u pull it back how does that figure!! think they want people to go through barn doors, tractors are no longer a machine you can just put in experienced peopleon and let them drive it u need to be a rocket scientist to operate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well as deere-est was 100% correct on the side panal (apart from 3 dials slightly in wrong order). I'll go for the rest On steering column you have steering wheel, lever on left is for dynashift to change ratios A-D, The one on the left is for wipers indicators all the normal stuff, Bottom left you have light switches for rear and front lights, Red bit is for hazards, of the two switches on the right one is amber light and other one i'm not to sure on as is different to 82's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Oh yer nath gear lever on left is for gears and i think if you knock it to the left it changes between high and low. And one on far right is shuttle change between forward and reverse. P.S no cooler box in roof then like 82's (which 8240 i was in had one) just to rub it in :D P.S nath your one is an earlier model with out electronic shuttle it was unreliable at times but by 97 was absolutly fine as know of a few early ones that had problems the trick with 61's is to buy as late as possible or get one with all service history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schw84 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 yes they do have a cooler box to the left of the heater controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Ah nice one as wasnt to sure as most of my time is in 82's and 62's the one's that turned MF around and back up the leader board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
