That's got a lot of awesome features.....while it works. What happens when that $100 sensor that measures the GPM (which really doesn't mean anything) going to an accessory, dies in the middle of planting. When one of the three steering systems has a faulty output and disables the complete tractor in the middles of a field and the tech is a day away.

I love big powerful tractors. I'll never own one but enjoy looking at em none the less. Neat to see all the things they thought of to make it a little easier for the operators.

I've never seen a Fendt in person, but from everything I've read, they are about as good a brand as there is.

Wheat Farmers around here run a couple of really big tractors. The terrain is hilly and I never mind listening to the big engines lean into the load while discing uphill(y)

Even more impressive in person. My sister and I went to see the facility when I visited her and the custom harvest crew she worked for. Havre Montana. That’s my broken down bike in the back of the pickup. Broke down in ND. Hell of a ride from PA to MT. Tractor was so impressive that I have the complete spec page printed out in the photo album.

Our local fall fair has had a couple there the last couple years, they do look well made but a lot of electronics. You can run the 3pt up and down from the back, but with rubber covered buttons... I guess they all are like this now, but seems like you better park them indoors out of the weather. 10-15-20 years and what happens to all that stuff when the rubber cracks and water gets in? I think Fendt is making progress here because they will share diagnostic info easily.
I like my Kioti, with a rear 3pt lever attached to the lever beside the seat...

I would think most farmers are the type to fix their own stuff. there must be a market for tractors with an available copy of the service manual. diagnostics tools available for a reasonable price and a tech support line staffed with people that know their product. so that you can fix your own stuff. because you can't do anything with a broken down machine so you usually have time to fix it. I guess I am asking for too much.
