This is a YouTube video titled "Why Ashcourt Farms Trusts the 8R 410 eAutoPowr" featuring a discussion between two speakers from Ashcourt Farms about their experience using John Deere tractors, specifically the 8R 410E AutoPowr model. The speakers describe the tractor's versatility, performance, comfort, and features such as the central tyre inflation system and Command Arm Pro joystick, highlighting how these benefits improve their farming operations. The content is a testimonial or product review related to agricultural machinery.
So Ashcourt farms, 500 hectares on top of the Yorkshire worlds. We've been John Deere customers now for a number of years. 6120m right up to the 8R 410E auto power. There's two of us here on the farm, but in busy times we'll use casual and temporary staff and the usability across the whole fleet is really key there. So we've previously always run two at RXS across the farm and construction. But with the 8R410e autopower we found the versatility of wheels. You can get between jobs much faster. No limits on road speed and it's just a more versatile machine. You can be ploughing in the morning and bailing at dinner time. You can, if you need to put it on a corn trailer. It's the versatility of the big wheel tractor, you know, doesn't have to be doing big jobs.
The start off performance of the AR410 is very smooth, quiet, fast. We have an ARX370 auto power as well. I'd say the E Autopower is a lot smoother and quieter in field on road picks up speed a lot faster than the auto powers do.
It doesn't bog like the earlier auto power transmissions. It's instant, it's instant power, it's smooth and it puts its power down really well. We find you get a lot of pull off speed on road work. And again when you're cultivating on our fairly steep hills, it'll pull right from go. The central tyre inflation system's totally seamless with the tractor. It isn't an add on, it is part of the machine. All on your screen. It's right there in your cab. You sort of get to the field and you can let your tyres down as you pull in. Two minutes later you're away. And then when you come to leaving a field, you'll hit it as you pull out the gateway. Five minutes later, up to full pressure, full road speed. So it's just marvellous really. It just gives us that edge, that little bit beginning and end of, you know, a day of wet period, you can just get on that little bit faster, you can just hang in that little bit longer.
Command Arm Pro joystick is one of the easiest joysticks I've ever used in a tractor. It's comfortable in your hand, all the buttons are there on the joystick, easy to access and it'd be very easy for a beginner to get used to.
The Command Arm Pro. It's fully customisable you can put your isobus on it very easily. For instance with the fertiliser spreaders etc, you just it's there. I can run my fertiliser spreader on my command arm. I'm not pushing other buttons like previously you had to push buttons on the screen. It's all in your hand now.
The Cab on the AR410 is very spacious, so you can fit all your bags, your boots, your pack up, your coats and anything in it without feeling tight for space. The most comfortable thing in the cab is obviously the seat, with it being air suspended, cooled, heated leather and have a massage as well.
I've had the ATAR 410E autopower now for six months. The CTIS really, really does jump out. And then the ergonomics of the Command Pro and G5 screen and just the general comfort of the tractor.
