if you look back a few pages u will see our 121.. :001_smile:

 

N121 looks great and I really need to have one for a little while to compare?

 

However the N111e has arrived and what a head scratcher this thing is?

 

I've driven some things in my time but how on earth they get so much torque from this engine at so little revs is ridiculous?

I took it for a blast around the Staffordshire Moorlands with low loader in tow and it simply astounded me at how it pulls on the hills at such low revs.

I'd honestly have changed down ages before, but the Hi Shift on Auto will let it go down to 1500rpm before making a change.

It indicates 43k on the flat at 2000rpm and as soon as you hit a decent hill you get this strange feeling? The revs don't go up but the power does?

It's a bit like someone has just attached a winch rope to the front and it just keeps pulling.

 

It's night and day over the N101, with the Hi Shift plus Cab Suspension really making a difference.

The lighting package is worthy of much praise, with extra work lights and even lights on the steps and hitch!

 

The cab is littered with the usual array of bewildering switches for all those Farming functions, but I seemed to manage to find what I needed easy enough.

The Handbrake on the Shuttle lever seems to me a brilliant idea, and the tick over reduces to almost nothing when applied.

 

For my applications being on 5" wider tyres all round with no real extra weight will be handy, and I've been told a Front Linkage is available.

 

Still looking to hire for a few months yet and hoping to be able to have an N121 to compare in the near future, but I'm pretty certain I'll switch the N101 for this to be going on with.

What's at the back of the trailer?behind the dumper

 

Ramps!:biggrin:

 

Sorry couldn't resist! It's part of the side mount Flail setup I use, which is still work in progress but coming together now.

 

The same guy who made the 3 point linkage mast for the tracked dumper is doing the mods as we go along, and he made a lovely job of the chute which only had a splash of primer as we wanted it badly.

 

Another bit of his work was some winch anchors for a 110 Defender?
