    On looks alone, i think there grand looking. New models on most makes eventually grow on you,the more you see them

    Definitely a whole new look in fairness
    Though I'm also heard new Massey this year is 3 grand dearer than it's equivalent this time last year.

    The new 5s series
    From experience the bonnets don't take much hardship

    Looks good, Like the dipped bonnet, gives plenty of view, but not over done. That'll be new to me in 15 years time :p

    the bonnet on my 2005 massey is approaching the strength of a piece of tinfoil, would dent if you looked at it sideways.

    instead of clothing it they put a nylon bodystocking on it......having said that its not that bad of tractor apart from niggles

    Anyone know what the idea of the gap in the bonnet is for ?
    Also is there anything different about the machine apart from the price going up.
    I see they're following all the other manufacturer s with big fools of doors like sails on a windy day and no side windows to let in a bit of fresh air.bolix of a job imo

    Not a fan of the styling, but it's the way they're all gone.

    Usually that's to give the cab suspension more movement independent of the bonnet. Most big makes are like that nowadays

    Possibly looks a very large gap compared to other makes

    Some designer possibly thought it was revolutionary

    I think the gap is to do with sound insulation
