Why don't you see many about? The concept looks good. High hp not massive weight and four big tyres in each corner to help spread weight. Anybody got the history of their development. I know that CAT engine, but what transmission and back end? Me and neighbor were talking about it earlier as there is one on that big sale in Salisbury. Are they reliable?

One of my friends drives one for a large estate up here. Him and the farm manager rate it highly. It replaced a Cat.
What sort of age is that then? I could see it being far more versatile than a CAT.

Must be some wood chipper!
Does this mean earlier ones had issues with electrics? There is one on another thread on here looks good value for money. But I can imagine they could also attract some massive repair bills!

I'd love one, but can't justify it on acres we have.

I'd love one myself. There's an outfit up the road from me running a 3300 on butterfly mowers. It sounds so good
. Think theirs must be 10 yrs old now.

I'd like one to compliment the crawler so I can share all the kit and still do a bit of road work.
How would you guys value the one at Salisbury then?
£70k?

The last time I mentioned the X word on here someone told me to stop being a silly billy. Apparently they are not particularly comfortable to drive due to the lack of suspension etc? Might be worth driving one first to see if your back and fillings do fall out.

Sorry I don't know how to put the link up but look on YouTube for Claas xerion lacotec and one of the first videos that comes up is quite good.Maybe not as fast as a self propelled but useful for other things
I would of thought a lot less than that! If makes that then it isn't really cheap power compared to what else is about that age. Could be totally wrong though as I don't really have a clue!!

Excellent tractor, probably the best one we’ve ever had. Very economical fuel wise and a good all rounder.
There's a guy not far from us is on his second he had a 3800 now it's a bigger one he has now a 5000? I like the idea of the 4 equal wheels kinda like a big modern day county . I have seen one pulling a sumo trio and for the hp it wasn't exactly playing with it but it was in sticky land.
