I have pm'd the OP to try to help them get their point across.

Please be mindful not everyone signing up is forum savvy

Good point . Apologies for frivolity. At least we are getting somewhere now.

Just burn it

Not very helpful comment if you`re seriously cheesed off with a major investment....

Do you mean the brakes have worn out and Claas won't replace them under warranty?

If so,most manufacturers regard them as a wearing item so not covered under warranty.

However if it is a mechanical fault it should be covered.

No brakes not working enough to wear out. Only done 300 hours.

Ok before you all jump all over me I admit to knowing NOTHING about modern tractor brakes.
I do however have extensive experience with HGV truck brakes and MOT procedures, so surely a dealer should be able to put a tractor on a set of rollers and get a readout of the braking efficiency or is that over simplistic ?
We have come a long way since the old Tapley Brake meters.

A 5 year old could explain your points far clearer and if you have a genuine problem,? We really need fact's rather than riddle's please? Has your dealer attempted a fix or have Claas UK offered a repair or is it out of warranty and you need advise on repair procedure's?

Want to know if anyone else experiencing problems with brakes with Claas Atos.

Claas rep stated brakes are working as designed. But when road tested vehicle he admitted there is an obvious problem with no remedy at the moment

South Wales. Tractor been back and forth to dealer as other problems e.g front wheel fell off, handbrake took a month to fix.

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

and when was the tractor new, and did you buy it new , s/h or ex demo

 

[jondear]

Well just tell your dealer Its not good enough get it sorted or replace with another machine .!You expect a new machine to act as new still under warranty.

Tractor brand new July.

 

[Henarar]

don't drive it on the road, as you know there is a problem it may well be your fault if you have an accident
did you buy it on finance ?

 

[James]

Tractor brand new July.

Still under warranty they need to sort it. Have they another in their yard you can test drive to compare? If bought with finance tell the finance company.

 

[Adam@Rumen]

If everything is as you say, you need legal representation.

Suggest you contact the NFU too.

 

[farmerbill]

Is this the tractor that is a Deutz in Claas clothing? Could it be that neither Claas or the dealer know one end of it from the other?

 

[Sid]

So first course of action for a new machine would be dealer. Then if no luck try Claas direct. Then if no joy and machine is not fit for purpose the finance company.
I had an issue that dealer and manufacturer wouldn't fix so a phone call to finance company saying i was stopping payments and stated reason it was sorted in less than 24 hours.
You could of course be a dealer of another brand?
