FB Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 just curious to know why the US (and maybe other countries ) prefer to use a centre mount version yet we prefer to have one where the rear arm can move along the X axis (left to right)?? ???

Tractorman810 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 we are to lazy, dont like to keep moving the tractor round so we move the arm instead :D :D side to side, lot easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Easier to dig alongside obstructions... like walls etc... Perhaps they don;t have walls in the states :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerman72 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 the americans just go for the basic model, where as us british prefer luxury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 We need the sliding back actor because otherwise the JCB Dancing Digger Display Team would't be able to do some of their moves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCF Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Out in the Midwest where most of the farming takes place, fields are literally just flat large blocks with no curves around trees or slopes like some of you might have in the UK. Therefore, no real need for a moving arm when the center mount works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCF Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 makes sence i guess timmy, do you get any moving rear arm models out there?? or just fixed center mounts Few moving arm models down my way I believe, as there are smaller fields with more obstacles much like the UK. As you move further west however, you are most likely to see center fixed mounts with the larger fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I guess it's just a preference thing Ben... like tricycle tractors... PAVT wheels etc. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
