Why would you need air brakes on a hedge cutter?

I know @headcase uses a VT one on a hedgecutter but that cab B post would annoy me.

It's not ideal
I sort of sit so the pillar is covering the head and I can see in front and behind it🤷‍♂️

The air brake kit isn't too dear and easy enough to fit.
Has it the panoramic right hand screen?

It’s not in the way of seeing the head anyway

I was thinking of hedger on the right,keep threatening to swap mine over to right hand cut,it’s just not natural to look to the left,also 1door cabs you have to stop the hedger before getting out to open a gate or such.

23.5k stg … looks a lot of tractor for the money ?

 

[c4l]

I thought Dyna 6 be the biggest drawback for you?

 

[marco]

No pick up hitch

Is that a susi engine also? I don’t think it is. Year doesn’t match but it looks like the perkins?

 

[kverneland es 80]

I thought it was 2010 when they went sisu

It would but it’s cheap.😂

Sisu has very distinct shapes in the lower block,looks like a Perkins to me.

I'd be on the same boat. driven one, was alright but worked backwards in reverse ie. had to pull back the t bar to go up a reverse gear. Too many "flipping off the tractor" moments pushing the t bar forward only for it to go from 3a to 2a

Vfrt is the way forward

It drives you mad for a day or two , but then it makes sense.

You can go backwards with it too.😃

Oh I know 🤣🤣

Have to say I’m very disappointed with the 7700 series as a baling tractor, that little hydraulic choke is breaking my heart and everyone else running a 7700 series up massey, valtra and fendt 🙄

What’s that ?

 

[Masseyrk662]

There is a little valve called a choke in all massey 7700 series. It’s just a tiny little metal gauze and it can block with the tiniest spec of dust. When it blocks the tractors pump starts forcing oil as hard as possible through the system until cleaned.
