Has anyone had any experience with these new Claas front mowers?
Available here for the first time this Spring coming but little is known about them.

Can't really see the point of them when the old ones 3100fc works so well mind the 3200 isn't just as good at following the ground
We have a 3100 and a 3200 which work well, but was thinking the shift was more towards a pull type suspension as favoured by Pottinger,Kuhn and now McHale.
Our current mowers cut well enough, just looking for a better contour following arrangement than what we have.

32 doesn't seem to follow as well in rough stuff or over a hill top or into a hole without the big skids on the back that the 3100 did

The pull type has a lot of unnecessary moving parts compared to a 3100fc for me

The move has 1000mm of vertical travel without needing to use the linkage. It is ideal when used as part of a triple set up on a high horsepower tractor which traditionally doesn’t have a lot of front linkage movement.
