Deere-est Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Wow, thats some fleet your uncle is working with MJ, you'll have ti get Thomas over there at the weekend. All this stuff will be vintage by the time he is big enough to reach the pedals... Zip it Marky... All looks pretty new, some serious money tied up in those wheels and a fair bit of know-how in the heads of the drivers too. Ace photo's.

MJB1 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 funnily enough when i was next to the JD 8420 it had a sense of size about it but the 930 had a sense of raw power , if you know what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Just wonder which was pulling it better as the fendt has cvt and the JD has powershidt and wondering it it made a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 yes it does make a difference , martin the driver of the 930, said the JD wouldn't go slow enough in heay soil where as the 930 will crawl if it had to FENDT 1, JD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Interesting to know but i susspose that is what CVT was designed for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
