Class Arion users - any good?

The 1 round here doesnt get a good name
Now there is only one Claas dealer in Northern Ireland, plus Claas UK couldn't care less about anything over here.

Seem more interested in trying to walk away from a machine, obsessed with plugging in laptops and dynotesting tractors to see if they have been remapped. No it wasn't it had to get repairs because of manufacturing faults.

Our dealer is the best in the area.
Notice a few comments about Claas dumbing down their tractors.
I prefer to look at it as why have two buttons/levers to do the job that one can do on its own

Apparently Erwins bought all the stock and have rented the yard for so many years. Ashfield and Wilson signs are still up as part of the deal but its Erwins Agricare.
Pity that as Ashfield and Wilson were normally cheaper for parts, and would have broken a few renaults. Have had no issues with either, but then I’m only ever buying parts. Good advise from the mechanics on the phone if you need it. Erwins never really sold renaults, so haven’t so much knowledge on the older stuff, but ashfields guys were knowledgeable, and again, give good advice on the phone.
I thin’ the fact that Erwin parks the Porsche at the door probably rubs a few people up the wrong way.

A&W and Willy O Brien were both DB dealers in the past so far as I remember. I know a lot of folks who after the white tractors went orange, some also like ourselves went to Case IH. Forgie pushed A LOT of tractors back in late 80’s through to early 2000’s.
