Yes I have used a new 7520 with a loader on it I got to use it for a small day to do chores and other misc. work the tractor had the ITV tranny so it was a little different getting used to but once you got the hang of it, it was kinda neat all you have to do to stop is step on both brakes at the same time. Also another thing I thought was kinda neat on the Forward to Reverse shuttle shift lever in the middle it automaticaly goes it to park so that is nice if you are stopping and getting out frequently in all it was a pretty nice tractor just is a whole new concept no gears just keep pushing the lever ahead farther and it goes faster only problem just as I got the hang of running it I had to take it back!!!!!!!

Had a new JD 6920s (160hp,50km_h gearbox) out on demo recently with the autopower gearbox,I think these are the same as 7020's in the states only built in Germany. We where hauling a 2000gal slurry tanker with it on road work as we fill a field tanker with overhedge booms.Very nice machine to drive with tls2 and cab sus but the gearbox is only suited to field work and not road haulage. This is because the gearbox does not hold you back going down hills,you can't drop it down a gear and use engine braking, autopower would be too sore on brakes for our operation.
