Is funny the differences between ppl and machines b/c I've heard what everyone does and doesn't like and thats all that matters to them.(what does it matter to you) that is the great thing about this forum. To learn and have a good time. As far as seat beats not all deere's have shoulder belts. Its a factory code order just like everything else. I believe metrac order all closed cabs with shoulder and open with just lap. Just depends on how the dealer orders them. I can run the E-H controls but don't care for them. Any good operator will get in and go reguardless of machine type. And deere is said to be changing the cab door situation on the next machines. But i tend to find on the NH,ASV's and others that the doors open from the side if the boom drifts up over night you have a problem getting in. Even thoe deere doesn't make the best of everything I will buy everything deere based on one parts place, resale, relationship with dealer/deere, and PUL. If I thought that case or komatsu was better i would buy totally them. Going to 4 or 5 dealerships to get parts gets old quick specially with ppl changing jobs so much. Seems like the minute you get a good parts boy or tech/mechanic you can trust and rely on they get gone.:my2c
