Operators manuals

Why do some manufacturers seem to want to keep these a secret.
The kverneland archive is brilliant. Anything that’s ever come under KV umbrella is all archived right back to mid 90’s
McConnell is the same.
Kuhn is ok if you have a serial no but a bit of a faff registering your machine.
Class however. Absolute dire. They can’t even do parts books with part numbers. You have to ask for page 10 item 12.
Can’t even see anything on their website where you might download an operators book.

Looking for a book for a variant 180 of anyone has one

Unfortunately u have to buy the books. I have bought several over the years, but not off claas. Don’t know why they can’t put them on their website like others. Even John deere supply operator manuals online.
