    The height of my Passage Way is 9 ft 10. Will this height cater for all tractors. I am in the process of buying a tractor at the moment

    Ok as the landini is same as my old 398 at nearly 9ft but the new machines like the MF5610 or NH T5 are nearly a foot or more taller than that. Just be careful of your rim size and tyre choice as it will effect the height also

    Don't be afraid to take out the measuring tape when you're looking at a tractor or even check with the seller for height before you travel to see something .

    Always drive front end in ;)

    Most new tractors have the visior in the good which helps to keep an eye on the beacons up front

    Yep and don't forget to measure from the top of the beacons or the air con unit.
