A buddy of mine was talking to a NH salesman today and on the lot was a Workmaster 50 open station and Workmaster 60 open station described as the old style tractor with NO computer controls. If you needed a cab then you had to take the computer controlled engine. Has anyone out there seen or heard of this option on modern day tractors. This simple setup was only offered on this 50-60 hp size tractor. The salesman also said he was under the impression the green and yellow tractor had a similar package.

I think Kubota still offers a 50-60 hp open tractor in two and four wheel drive, that has a syncro transmission and no computer.

That would be a very good selling point.

Used to be an exception for tractors of a certain size, like under 50HP, but not anymore.
How does the fuel efficiency compare with the computer controlled engines?
Price differences?
Could it be that the engine still has full computer controls to meet emissions and only the dashboard and operator interface are old style? A link to the sales brochure would be very helpful.

He best find a sale$man that knows what he's talking about. I'm being charitable in saying that.
Last I looked at those models they most definitely had engine management controls on the open station tractors but these particular ones I'm familiar with are perhaps 2017 or 2018 models. Do you figure they did away with the computer since then?
These ones do have simple mechanical transmissions with a manual reverser. I find them a bit clunky to operate and the tractors are light to the point of being dangerous when fitted with a loader and no ballast... but generally seem to be a decent 'just enough' sort of spec for utility use at a good saving over Orange. You'll get more on the orange one but it's probably not significant enough to pay the premium for it.
