claas wagon is utter dung and won't have it on the farm again. Inconsistent chop, sometimes the knifes fold back with no warning so no chop, takes 30% more power to drive and what feels like 20 min to get all the grass out. They are siht.

In fairness the new model that I had on demo performed the same as the pottinger . But I’d still be afraid to buy one .claas wagon is utter dung and won't have it on the farm again.

8300 2017 machine. It really is scrap. Its tiny too compared to the 2 red ones. Had a pottinger and strautman running next to it last year, there literally in a different league.In fairness the new model that I had on demo performed the same as the pottinger . But I’d still be afraid to buy one .
I'm not sure I've seen a more useless piece of farm machinery thats sub 5 years old.stop sitting on the fence and say what you really feel!!
If it's just a wet spot I'll start picking empty there, in the 10fts in theory I'd be moving agood bit faster. Horses for courses. I suppose.The only downside of that is wetish ground, when you lift the 2nd row you are running in the same wheeltrack again which can sometimes take you down, whereas the fresh ground behind the rake lets you away.
Just had a look, the Class 8300 wagon is 30@din cubic metres capacity. Heck my Taarup 1030 wagon from the 1980's was the same din capacity.anothet example of do your own research rather than listening to a sales man.There meant to be the same size m3. View attachment 936588
That one is for sale, take a gamble. Its cheap enough for sure
Jesus, where's the rest of it.There meant to be the same size m3. View attachment 936588

Luckily I don't need to research, just decide if we're happy to pay for its services again.Just had a look, the Class 8300 wagon is 30@din cubic metres capacity.

Did u not look at it before u bought it?Luckily I don't need to research, just decide if we're happy to pay for its services again.
I’m guessing he had a contractor in with it to lift his grassDid u not look at it before u bought it?
Certainly not mineDid u not look at it before u bought it?
Not a fair review of a machine, contractor turns up with a smallish Class wagon, and driver hasn't a clue how to operate. Rotor type cutting mechanisms have been on wagons for quite a while now,and all bar Suitmaker? Are pretty much the same.and theoreticaly should perform similar.Certainly not mine
Claas spent 2 days down here with us. Its been traded out for a strautman at sub 3 years and sub 1k loads as farmers where all saying the same, don't bring it back. Contractor with strautman picking up more and more work at the expense of a claas.Not a fair review of a machine, contractor turns up with a smallish Class wagon, and driver hasn't a clue how to operate.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure from your last few posts, do you not like the claas wagon???A review for all the claas fans out there.
Class wagon is brilliant, the hardly any power to drive and is built to an incredibly high standard.
Its streets ahead of its competitors thats the reason for seeing so many running the country side.
The front floor that powers more grass in to the box to allow for such a small and nimble machine is such a marvel of engineering and the pins that it pivots on are made of incredibly strong stuff. They wont ever snap allowing the floor to pull the bedchains out. Because its built so well you'll never have to prong 18 ton out of the machine.
Once in the clamp it will eject the load quicker than the competition and get back to field working again.
Your only problem with it will be, all your neighbours will be so impressed with it, they will want you to lift there grass.
Silage being such a valuable crop and care needed bringing it in, this is truly the machine for you.
If your looking to sink 80k of your hard earned money into a wagon then I can not reccomend it highly enough.
It really has altered the way we make silage. (It really has! We now use the forager more)
Nothing personal. Its just not claas usual level of forage equipmentSorry, I'm not quite sure from your last few posts, do you not like the claas wagon???
Sorry @Beef farmer , for doubting you, It just amazes me that a big forage equipment manufacturer like Claas can produce something so bad. The design principal of these rotor wagons had been around for over 30 years. What is essentially quite simple technology. It just goes to show that overcomplicating a machine just to have features different from the other manufacturers doesn't allways work. Malone on the other hand have gone for simple and strong engineering, which is what is required.Nothing personal. Its just not claas usual level of forage equipment
