Ah sorry that’s crap! Any indication of support from Claas on repairs?2 gears on top shaft basically s##t themselves.

It was, autumn drilling though, all of October! Front diff tore itself to bits. As said above though, doesn't matter what make you buy they all have problems. Comes down to backup and we find the backup very good!Was @Shutesy claas tractor not out of action for a month at harvest too?
Hi do you mean the hard facing had come off the gears and teeth broke off? Remember back in the day we had 2 renault ceres split the 1st gear pinion and made a right mess! Both tractors did it ploughing in high 1st. Its still pretty much the exact same box in a axos. Havent seen your problem but had a few with dodgy selectors for 3rd/4th gear which if not sorted wrecks the syncros.☹2 gears on top shaft basically s##t themselves.

Maybe as well my local claas dealer ignored me 18 months ago and I bought a case instead. Lucky escape on my part maybe
It’s amazing what a little TFF “publicity” can achieve. You have played by the rules. See if attitudes miraculously alter after Easter.
