Yeah it will be on Friday sometime. Dealer rang us today. Will be getting the formal rundown on the ins and outs Saturday then
I still haven't figured out the connection, ploughing match maybe??
If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

So here she is. A Fendt 312 with compact loader
And sure tis only savage! Initial thoughts:- it's bigger inside than the JD
- it will take some time to get used to driving it
- it only fits half way into one of the sheds cos it's an inch too high!
- it's mine
Drove it up a few miles along the road and it bombed away over 40km/h but it didn't feel like it was doing that speed. And it's pure comfy inside with the cab and front suspension.
The bucket is 7ft, and it's feckin massive. It's a very different view out the window compared to what I'm used to. And the loader, bonnet, everything is bigger.
I'd a run through of the different buttons, settings, etc. But need more time to get used to them. There's loads of options, settings, etc that I need to play with. Probably never need most of them though, but they are there if needed!
So why a Fendt? Why the hell not lads and ladies? Had the money, she came in 15k more than the other option which was a 6120M Deere. And there is a big difference in terms of tech and comfort between them. I felt the 15k spend was worth it. To be honest, I had said if the difference came in at more I'd have gone the Deere route. So after hard bargaining things fell into what I had budgeted.
Finally, as for the auld lad, he's not a fan. Fierce complicated he says, hard to get in and out of he says. So he's gonna take some convincing to even drive it.0 -

Yeah the curved glass is deadly. And there's a wee blind then that can come down if the sun is in yer eyes there from the glass being higher. The loader is a 4x75 Compact.yellow50HX wrote: »Nice wann. Is that an MX loader? Hope he gave a few toys with it too...ha ha
