It has arrived and I have been hard at work 
Very comfortable to sit on with weight adjustable suspension seats, needed with the mole hills I have :x ...
Fuel consumption - wow ... it cost me £75 in diesel to harrow and cut the field, i.e. 10 hours of work. Certainly not cheap!
Health and Safety features are funny ... seatbelt is in there as well as a reverse beeper, was not expecting that.
The 2.2 litre Perkins diesel engine is nice, pulls anything (including through the handbrake which the delivery company had put on and I had not noticed
). Hydraulics and lift fun to play with, halogen lights very effective as I was working in the dark in the end.

Nice,i see you went for the one with A/C. you know you arnt going to get much topping done towing them chain harrows, what HP is she should be fine for a small 540 pto topper.
i must say i am a bit of a tractor nerd, more the John deer / New holland and Case IH the bigger the better. I used to work for a agriculture contractor some years back and wild horses couldnt keep
me from being at work, 7 day's a week 14 hour day, i loved it best job ever,
now aday the sooner the clock strikes home time i'm out of the door, sad times

you do know you can used red diesel, (no tax on the red) I would visit my local farmer and see if he would sell you some.
