Fair enough, we don't have too many hills in Essex or do much towingYup. Had one for a weeks demo. Any sort of bank n it died, useless towing anything.
yes tried it today much better to see out of than our JCB 531-70. have no hills and don't tow trailers but liked it a lotThey are ace to drive. Is that the older style with the better view over the side?

I drive the Kramers a lot and really rate them. Leibher build the new Claas they didn't look a lot different at YAMS interesting conversations with both .I had a 7030 and now a 7055, which is the slightly larger chassis
I liked the 7030 but the 7055 is on another level!! Any new users here, including various groundworks contractors, etc all comment how impressed they are.
My biggest dilemma will be when we change it in a few years, since Claas are not marketing the Kramer. Class backup is also excellent, on a par with Fendt
7035 here left jcb 536/60 wouldn’t go back to jcb but you have to make your own mind up another story of a friend working on a estate as summer students they nearly be fighting over who had the class to go stack balesyes tried it today much better to see out of than our JCB 531-70. have no hills and don't tow trailers but liked it a lot
Apart from the terrible visibility out the cabin and the hundreds of mirrors and lights that are asking to get nocked off on the right hand side it is a fantastic machine and miles ahead of JCB & Manitou etc. Definitley an arable machine though rather than a stock one
I've often thought of fitting car type parking sensors to the blind side and rear, one day I might get round to it.The mirrors can all be unbolted. I believe they are there because of the new safety regs?
What it wants really is a couple of cameras to the side and rear.
No complaints with the rest of the view.
Why the heck anyone would buy a JCB except if they wanted a pivot I will never know.
