I have an arion 440 & they have improved the pickup hitch & now when you take off the loader you can lock the joystick like the presenter said. Fantastic tractor.

[@peanutjellyman]

I'm thinking of getting one, is yours the base one or cis. Which pump have you gone for and is there any options you wish you went for? Is it nippy on loader work. Mines currently 60ltr m pump on axos i have and i want faster cycle times. Thinking of trading the axos in.

@@peanutjellyman Hi peanutjellyman, mine is a basic model, it has a 60ltr/min pump with 98ltr/min optional. To be honest with you the 60ltr/min is fast enough for me anyway, but aside from that I didn't go for cis on my tractor, the only extras I have are air brakes, cab suspension, front axel suspension, loader suspension & bigger tyres. It is a very maneuverable tractor & well balanced. It is well capable of field work also, making light work of spreading slurry with a 2750gal trailing shoe slurry spreader. (aprox 17ton when full)

That lad sounds a Cumbrian...and it looks like the Penrith area, could be wrong though? Smashing piece of kit. Makes me so envious of modern tractors. I was brought up with a DB Cropmaster, with primitive hydraulics and laarl grey Fergies with no cab whatsoever ( I used to wrap hessian sacks around my hands in Spring what discing and harrowing)...how times have changed! haha
