And why not ?

They're pretty solid tractors. Most are sold for livestock farm loader work. The long wheelbase makes them fairly stable, though the bonnet is fairly bulky for good vision to a lowered boom.

Mechanically they're simple with little to go wrong (apart from the Deere power system engine, though apparently claas fit better head gaskets). The 4wd clutch can take a pounding on a loader tractor without a rear ballast weight. It can judder and slip under full load, but it's very unlikely to cause a problem in "normal" work.

Overall they're a good simple well proven machine.

Cheers, i picked up that they had a few electrical issues, if we were to get it ,we'd have to get a loader to fit it from somewhere aswell.

Maybe, maybe not, but you certainly can't deny that you're a troll.

Please stop swearing, your spelling is so bad even the swearword filter cannot understand it.

I bought a new Renault Celtis in 2001 for 18k, so I'd say the price for that claas is extremely good!

Sold my Renault at 7 years old with 4500 hours for £12.5k.

Are there any major expensive problems that occur regularly with the Axos then? Are they thirsty?

They fairly well down on power? How many horses the 320-70ish??

Got a 320 and TL70a, the claas outpulls it easily on same implement/field etc.

I know not everyones cup of tea but we been very happy with it. Just my 2pennies worth....(which ain't worth much!)

 

[RobFZS]

well went to have a look at it, not bad, don't think you'll get anything better for 17500, probably will be about 80hp, i vonder if they can be chipped, just need to get a loader for it now.
