I finally bought a Deere 6120M

Congrats on the new JD. She's a beaut!

I believe that Fendt dealer is about 15 miles from me. I would have been happy to take one for a spin on your behalf!

I would have gone there too, but they didn't have any of the Vario 200 models.

As part of my search, I have been to New Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington (3 different visits), Missouri, and Montreal.

Can you post the part numbers for those. I'm assuming they are Faster TA12? I've been trying to find them through an OEM and have just been ordering them aftermarket. They are not cheap and sometimes you luck out and OEM has a better price. I've just never been able to track down a tractor of any brand that has them from factory

I have those on a couple of my tractors. I was under the assumption all newer AGCOs came with them, but don’t like them as much as I thought I would. They have a way of catching your knuckles by surprise one in a while.
Some of mine also broke the small springs that snap the cap shut.
Speaking of remotes, I really like the easy release levers on my 655E. Even under extreme pressure, just push the lever an inch over with your finger and the hydraulic hose just falls out. You can even release them from your seat in the cab.

I'll have to track down some information and see what they cost next time I need them

It's finally on it's way. Lots of delays with trucking.

Thankfully I asked for pre-departure photos, and spotted that they had the wrong loader bucket. I don't think the driver had left yet, and they were able to get it sorted out quickly. Arrival is hopefully Saturday.

Looks nice. The trucker appears to not know how to secure a tractor correctly, it’s way too good. He needs to buy 8 packs of those cloth ratcheting tie downs at Walmart for $10.

That thing is a beast. Look at all the work lights on the cab!

What surprises me is that I never see windshield protection on tractors being hauled. I have broken 3 windshields while hauling my tractors, and now I put a windshield protector every time I haul one.

I’ll second that . On it’s way from South Dakota my 5115m took a stone to the windshield, took a lot of joy out of it’s arrival.

Now you guys have given me something to worry about....
