Claas Targo any good?

[tomg]

We might have chance of a low houred K60 but would it be a good buy? GM Stephenson sold one last year with similar hours for I think about £20k so I can see that will be the asking price.
Or are we better off with a higher houred JCB?
Would need to be 2.5t lift and 6m reach.

We had a 2001 model. Better capacity than is claimed. Poor starter til we fitted a geared starter. Then a great starter. There is an old Profi guide to them as a used buy if you can find it. Basically I think they said if there was a good farmer and a good dealer who kept up with the modifications and understood the wiring then they would be fine. They have some awful greasing points. If anything electric played up we needed the a Claas dealer to fix it.I think Cat built them in the UK. We now have a TM 220 JCB which is smaller but suits us better.

Thanks for replying, funnily enough I would really like a jcb 220 but just think we would miss the reach to much.
