I have seen people talking about these machines on another site and from what I could make out they are fully suspended tractors form JD. If so, any information on the machines would be interesting (ie specs, price, time of arrival) if not what is the Pegasus? Merry Xmas [:)] MG

I first heard about the 'Pegasus' tractor was in the US during 1998, talking to mid-west farmers who were interested in our Fastrac. It was rumoured then to be a 250hp+ fully suspended machine, ridgid framed, but looking a bit like an artic. The aim was to produce a tractor capable of field working speeds of 12mph (not a high road speed tractor). The JD dealer I spoke to in the US told me (in 1998)that the Pegasus would probably go onto the back-burners and more R & D would go into the rubber tracked tractors over the next few years. A fitter from a local Deere dealership had another sighting a couple of years later and was told that it was a test bed for components and drive systems. - The JD people in the UK deny all knowledge -

The conversation I read said that there where some tests with some up in yorkshire, they are like a conventional tractor (about the size of the 7810) so I read, who knows? [:)] MG

were abouts in yorkshire? i live near pickering north yorks i am going to a opening day a RBM (yorkshire john deere dealer) on the 9th-10th january i will ask about Pegasus ok? Philip

my rumor from jcb dealer, was that it is more maintainence then a jcb, of course coming from a jcb dealer, but jd is not always better.

He's got some room to talk !!!!!
