[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7883971, member: 54866"] I know that Kramer did manufacturer Claas handlers for a time but the latest version of these is now manufactured by Liebherr. I have driven two different iterations of recent Claas handlers but neither were Liebherr ( I believe Kramer manufactured both), they were both excellent. The Kramer I drove over the summer was very similar in many respects to the later Claas I drove and was excellent. Liebherr are supposedly the bees knees in the construction game and make high end stuff but I have not driven one and I was told a neighbouring farm had one and hated it for some reason. The Kramer (and the Claas before it) does have a lot of mirrors around it and a big arse. You also seem to have less view over the right hand side than some machines but I personally didn't find this an issue with either machine. The Kramer spoils you because it has a wide angle rear view camera on the back so it is a doddle to drive in small spaces. You could spend a day in any of the three different Kramer machines but the later two I drove would be an effortless day compared to any JCB I have driven. The hydraulic grunt from them was nuts. I'm yet to meet a handler that enjoys towing anything. [/QUOTE]
