Claas tractors are a premium price new with poor resale value which makes them a non starter really

Claas would be even more expensive than Fendt. I believe that they use the ZF vario, but aren't sure.
And they won't hold their value, so buy expensive and sell cheap.

Which has best resale value, Deutz or Claas?Claas would be even more expensive than Fendt. I believe that they use the ZF vario, but aren't sure.

Can't say for sure. Deutz has been underground from 2005 to 2019 since there really wasn't reputable dealer for them. When Claas replaced Deere the old Claas seller brought Deutz back. But the few that are being sold with ~1000h on them seem to hold their value better than Claas.

Is it a circular saw version?
How are you finding it?
I am considering one myself.
It may be a bit early, but what sort of output

Always warms my heart to see something made here be used abroad. That one's pretty common around here so should be good.
Britains or Siku?

Yes circular version. Not bad, makes short work twisted wood ain't to bad. Biggest problem the 4 way splitter can get jammed with smaller stuff so dropped it down to 2 way split and it was much better

No matter the size of the machine (small "table" machine or tractor powered) the 4 way splitter is kinda hit&miss. Would be lovely if it worked like it was intended.

Several years ago I looked at vario tractors. A vario claas was more expensive than the equivalent fendt. Nice cab interior though
So did CLAAS use the Fendt MF Vario backend as they used to do with the old manual version?
MF plant at Beauvias….Gear box factory stuck out the end….boxes came across a small covered road into the end of the MF Plant, a small proportion of the boxes were diverted for Claas builds.
Good while ago .
Meanwhile further up the plant German built Fendt Vario boxes were arriving to fit to the MF line.
