Tractor v mog v Fastrac

[mdt]

the above tractor is a fendt xylon. the class make a tractor which is nearly similar but twice the size its called a xerion. quite a beast.

the xerion is ok, i found steering bit twitchy being 50k road speed and constant 4 wheel steering. having front and rear pto's and linkage and reverse drive capabilty make it a good vehicle for a wide range of tasks. might be a bit big for use in enclosed woodlands and it has a mass expanse of glass to break if something goes wrong

[stoxs]

is there a load bay behind the cab or is that for the rotating cab?

[garth mc garth]

no load bay as the cab rotates and you need the vision for reverse drive capability.

my mate was driving a xerion on road and came up on traffic jam, so he rotated the cab and drove off in opposite direction at same speed, you should of seen the motorists faces

[stoxs]

ahh quality, i have seen a few up close but never driven one or ridden in one.

 

alot of ££££ but i gues worth it

[garth mc garth]

yeah they good machine but sooooooooooo many electronics, i subbed for a firm who change theirs every 18 months and it takes a year to iron out all the bugs,

during maize the other year i was playing connect 4 with warning lights on the computer screen in arm rest

[stoxs]

ohh i want one now , i miss playing tunes with the exhaust by changing the dynashift up and down

[garth mc garth]

im against all that electonic crap!! lol

no gears on a xerion, push lever forward or back and thats it. like driving a combine really

[stoxs]

is it a vario box then by Fendt or a different system?

The vario Fendt box is the dogs danglies drove a 7495MF with that box and it is so easy when you have your computer skills uptogeather

[garth mc garth]

there are so many variations but basically the further you push it forward the faster you go, engine revs are seperate switch.

not sure about new mf boxes as havent driven any but i dont like the infinately variable transmissions of the 7930 deere i hired
