New Forterra 150 HD

[diyfarmer]

I took a new Forterra 150 HD for a test drive lately, it is new version with the Eco gearbox that cuts back the engine revs to 1750 when your in top gear flat out on the road.

But the downside to this was when I came to a steep hill that I thought she would have flew up with nothing on the back but without being able to increase the revs as I travelled up the hill the tractor began to flounder, and eventually I had to go back one spilt gear and let the engine regain revs to tackle the hill.

Well it's got a short gear stick, new dash, air brakes and front brakes and hand brake that you need to press the foot pedal to make it release. 4 hydraulics couplings. Ad blue now

Have you a HSX same as I have, well one of the differences on the new HD is the gears are in a different pattern completely .
