    is it a blaupunkt?, my one in my 5455 used to go off like that as you say every so often, now its foes off every few mins, i just figured its the radio itself

    That must be a common problem. My radio is dodgy as well. I've got a replacement but I just have to fit it.

    ya its grand few things you should know
    1 - radios a heap of ****e,
    2 - turning circle isnt great
    3 - clutch can be a nightmare,becomes desperate jumpy after the tractors been out of gear,like agitating ectra,can be sorted by letting the shuttle in forward or reverse while the tractors out of gear,it spins a fan to cool the gear box while idling,took me a year to figure that one out,taught it was proximity switches and all that stuff,
    4 - very bouncy on the road without the loader on and can be a bit heavy on diesel
    5 - the rear hydro licks are unreal slow,recked my head when i was turning hay,trying to lift it up in time for tight corners.
    other then them 5 things its been pretty good, plenty of power,comfortable and youd climb carrauntoohil with the 4x4 on.
