Wouldn’t that be a good thing that she brought about the demise of Massey combine manufacturing

just about every MF combine since has been a dronningborg, laverda, white,gleaner or something else unless I have forgotten something

What use is a combine without a header

You often see combines for sale without headers in france usually because they have been used for maize and nothing else.

Talking to someone 2 weeks ago. He has a new class on order for this year. He's been told the header was on its way to the UK but can't promise the combine for harvest.so they will send a used machine but no idea what it will be

In many countries the header is bought from a different manufacturer to the combine. I presume they might even keep their existing header and transfer it between machines.

I suppose a company like Claas is able to buy and ship a shed load of combines virtually all year around because they sell into so many differing markets. If I was them I would be buying up a good stock of used Lexions, going through them carefully and putting them on to farms pronto so as to avoid disappointing customers. Would do wonders for their PR and company profile. I suppose it is hardly Claas' fault if various components for new machines are simply unavailable.

That’s what he’s been told combine coming with full warranty.then new one will have warranty so he gets 2years worry free. But his new one may arrive either way he isn’t worried. We bough his old one from the dealer but he still had the books for it so I went to pick them up

Are they buying machines from abroad to bring to the UK or is the spec too different to make it worth it?

They could have upgraded the models

“There’s hundreds of old lexions hidden in sheds around Saxham, because there’s no market for the big used contract farming combines”.

At least that was the story that used to regularly appear on TFF

Story I heard was they had bought from abroad but HSE won't let them into UK,but there again it may be just a story
