Gav836 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 This is the new tractor that the new boss has bought my colleague, i had a drive in it yesterday and quite frankly it beats the JD hands down that he bought the other guy, was well impressed with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 When i first got in it i thought 'oh my god' but its actually very simple, 3 gear ranges within which you can set the top speed you wish to travel at then just use the throttle or cruise control. Bottom picture is of our old 8560 which it is replacing, this tractor is now getting tired having covered 8200 hors since 1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 not a big ford fan gav JD man through and through but it does look smart.what is the JD. He's bought 2, a 7920 and 6920, both autopower tractors, i have driven the 7920 and i'd go for the TVT over it any day, its much simpler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 once you've driven the 7920 with autopower for a while you get used to it but its like they say each one to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
