brianih634 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Claas definately do the 600 and 35ft header in the UK, the company I work for sold one up here in Aberdeenshire. The c/bar and trolley needs some room to manoeuvre in the dealers yard . Never heard of a 590 plus tho. Sorry about off topic Sean. Your JD is lookin good, must take some patience to do those tines.
