Thanks Delilah, I will give them a call, sounds perfect. I tried the JCB estate but the farm manager wasn’t able to accommodate on that day, got an invite back next summer though.

Hi all, I am a Ulster Farmers union group secretary, our group is running a trip to the JCB factory at the end of the month (28th&29th) and have been searching for a beef or suckler farm in the area to visit while in the area. I haven’t been able to get anywhere suitable yet. I was wondering if...

In the latest 496 and 497 machines there is a strip down the middle of the window which is to do with dampening cab noise.

Hi @simmy_bull what kind of Kramer are you after? Mono boom or telescopic?

No wonder NH are playing catchup with he competition then, I sell for a Claas dealer and the majority of new foragers are sold before January, with a few stragglers afterwards.

Majority of forager deals are done before the new year

Potentially looking at it more from the fact if they go all with one manufacturer, all the eggs are in one basket and the supplier could increase price of parts, service items etc, or of the engines themselves and Claas could do very little about it. You just have to look at the new t4f lexion...

Although they have went with FPT on the Arion 400 and Axion ranges, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will go with it on the Arion 500 and 600 machines. Time will tell.

We had a 550S (S for sh#t?). Apparently it was awful from new but it was a gutless little thing and difficult to start from word go. It was bought at the same time as a fiat 640, the universal was apparently sold as being essentially the same tractor "made under licence" but the only similarity...

The new model Claas Arion 400 is an excellent loader tractor, should look at it as an option. Panoramic cab is superb.

Thought we had found a decent salesman until he argued with me for 20 minutes trying to say that it was £290 to tax the pickup, he didn't even know that all light commercials are £225 regardless. It has tainted my view of the deal a bit but I suppose it came good in the end.

They tried to tell me that the Ford Ranger Limited couldn't be got anywhere but they had a 2013 one coming in (and were asking new price for it). However, I knew for a fact that there was 6 new ones sitting in a ford compound less than 10 miles from their dealership. They didn't like when I...

As discussed on another thread, I have looked at most brands over this past few weeks. Could have got a fully loaded L200 Warrior for £16k, but going by the advice on here we decided against it due to poor towing. It came down to a choice between a new ranger limited (2.2l) or an invincible...

Probably wouldn't be far off it, it's not very often at all that I would have that size of a load on.
