How sharp does the DT250 turn? Looks like those big fronts would rub.

Not sure, we had a 25' Sunflower disk behind it so we didn't need to turn tight. The cab suspension along with the suspension on the front axle made a very smooth ride. The CVT transmission was neat, just set your speeds and rpm for turning and running through the field, the computer does the rest (until it fails?). Made it hard to get back into the 2+2 ......

Those orange Agco's are SO sharp looking, what a shame they are dropping them.

Both are good tractors from what I could tell. The MX might be easier to operate initially because (it was about 10 year old machine) it's less complicated/modern. I only spent a couple of hours in the DT so I never got to take in all the features, but it was also a bigger tractor and it would be nice to run all day with a bigger machine, but reality sets in and we'll look for something in the 200 hp range. So we continue the search. Bright side is we did finish our fall field work tonight (a month ahead of last year!).

Love the tough looks of those 2+2 IH's.

I think that it would be much even better when you have some good replacement suspension components in your vehicle in order to really compensate everything on that one. Hope that all will be well for your vehicle from now one.

I have a 205b and it is a nice machine to operate. You're right that once you have used the CVT it is hard to go back to the powershifts. Great trans on the grain cart too.
