MF 7245 combine

[YELROM]

Is anyone running a MF 7245 activa combine.
How reliable are they as i think the activa range is based on Laverda combines which were a good combine.
Might be going to look at one, what would be common faults or things to look out for or is it best avoided all together
TIA

Frome electrics point I have done few pillar dashboards in pass nothing else so far.

They are cheap to buy and I've found expensive to run, but I have had problems caused by others that have made the experience painful so far, hopefully it will improve next year

Stay away in my opinion, not built the best and expensive for parts in my experience of the activa range and quite crude. What a bout a NH TC, W series JD, Claas Avero etc... all these models are at the bog basic cheap end of the market though like the Activa. For a little more you would get a nice early CX something like a CX5080/90 or a CSX7080 would be a really underrated combine, they look ugly but simple and it is a CX6080 underneath
