I bet there's nothing special in the cab just the same as the ordinary t6000 layout

@AgriVidsProductions im guessing you're right, but if it's the case.. how disappointing to not conceptually redesign the operator interface too. :) hope youre keeping well:)

[AgriVidsProductions]

@edgey8D Well why would they black up the windows, Just a big model nothing more, And i'm not bad dave yourself

[edgey8D]

@AgriVidsProductions Blacked out windows CHAV it up. maybe there's a "banging system" in there too?? I'm ok. Came back to England with a few bruises and a rash, but the less said about that the better!! aha:)

[AgriVidsProductions]

@edgey8D Oh you didn't go to the red light district did you lol, Aye it does look chavy look at my pimped out tractor with its new body work blacked out windows and more lights than you could shake a stick at

[edgey8D]

@AgriVidsProductions NO!! ahaha! I wouldn't be caught dead round there:) Did you see the original version where the entire top of the cab had LED's?? If i remember rightly, the fuel cell was yellow, the body deep blue and underside was grey. It looked the danglies to be honest.

[AgriVidsProductions]

@edgey8D Yep looked far nicer than this one, this version 2 looks horrid been on to many steroids

[edgey8D]

@AgriVidsProductions exactly... and when you consider the whole point of making cabs like they currently do is to give good all round visibility.. then the concept blocks most of the side views... at least when they make a sports car concept, they make them feasible. Have we gotten to the point where we're just going to criticize this design? heh:)

[AgriVidsProductions]

@edgey8D Looks like we have :P

Where the heck would you fill up? Might be good for PR but a free bag of crispies all round might have done more good?

[edgey8D]

@balmesh well, this is the thing. from what i've read on the subject they are trying to get more and more farmers to produce energy, beit a digester, solar or wind farm. You need electric to get the h2 from oxygen, so maybe a small windfarm or a digester could run whatever piece of equipment that synthesises the fuel. It all sounds a bit like a pipedream at the moment, but a few farms around the locale are looking at installing digesters to utilise waste and sell electric back to the grid.

To edgey8D

They tried digesters when I lived in Kent. An all-singing, all-dancing, state-of-the-art installation with no expense spared. Two years later - dead. Why? The bacteria don't like our climate! :) :) :)

[edgey8D]

@balmesh Really? interesting. They're building one not too far from here, to run it with poultry muck and whatever else they need to mulch to ferment in it. Have to keep my ears open :)
