well he had waldersea farms on his high vis jacket so assuming he works there!!!!
considering how much a new lexion is, 27k for an engine isnt that much in the scale of things

Actually £27k (suppose retail before/if manufacturer price support) for a whole engine wouldn't surprise, especially a (relatively) complex modern one in a combine. Get a price to replace a late model car engine, supposedly with more economies of scale. It will make your eyes water!
John, the point I'm making. Perhaps rudely is..... Idle gossip doesn't ever help a situation.
Some on here post screen shots of their running costs , drill straightness etc. that I take more seriously.
If you can genuinely prove the customer paid CLAAS £27,900 I will indeed put my money where my large mouth is. I'll donate £20 to the agricultural benevolent fund
Just measured my mouth, thinks its normal size?

Thought if bring this back to the top, it doesn't matter if John is right and I'm wrong. I've just read another thread on this forum and its made me realise the power and goodness of this forum. Yes we argue, but we all love farming, do for that reason, I'm putting my money where my mouth is!
John1594 , don't suddenly start agreeing with me, as I for one would miss the debates we have.
Being a very independent person and being house bound for 5 days. This forum has kept me sain.

Wierd isn't it I think about a fair bit(must be sad) there's probably some professions but none like farming, where you love it so much you can be at work all day and come home watch tractor vids etc on youtube, read magazines, come on here, do your own enterprises of a evening, visit shows and not get bored!!

It stars off as an MF thread and five pages later we get onto Claas , yet again!
Well if "they're all the same" as you assert then arguably the thread has remained on the same topic throughout!

You are correct, but it was nice to see a "minor" player get some forum time.
