Goodhead Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 just been bought the case AFX by GF. have to say i'm a bit disapointed. the rota blades dont turn freely when pushed along and the tyres haven't been put on the rims squarly, so when you push along the wheels look drunk. ( wonky ) I have the new holland 880 combine which is similar, that was ok. Was going to buy at some point the JD one as well. "nd thoughts might be needed here. Quote
Tractorman810 Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 thats a shame,i have been looking at one of those recentlly,might have to ask to see it out of the box first me thinks to be honest part of the reason i did the fergys reel was downb to the fact it was to big for the header and didn't turn properly,which in turn lead to more Quote
NewHolland2 Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I used to use the Fergie header as a swather header on the rear of one of my Ford Bi-Directionals and I got really annoyed because it didn't go round freely...... :'( Quote
Tractorman810 Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 the one in the pics seems to bend upwards in the middle which doesn't help either,tried warming it and flattening out,just curls back Quote
JC Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I've got the AFX, will take it out of the box tomorrow for the first time and see if mine is the same. Quote
NCC Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 You can't beat the Case AFX in my eyes, I'd say it was Britain's best combine to date :) Quote
Tractorman810 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 thats why i want it ,but if it's poorly put together then i would be put of Quote
Gav836 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I'll agree that theres room for improvement in the header area on it. I bought it as it is a good looking model and i like to try to get a model of anything we've had on demonstration on the farm for real :D Quote
FB Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 got the STS out last night, similar probs plus the guy who packed it in china bent the rear lights! reel was hard to turn as well.....bring back the old style i say!!! :D Quote

FB Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 :'( :'( :'( i'll stick to the siku MF and soon the 600 , siku just seem better build quality although not as much detail as the STS Quote

Goodhead Posted December 31, 2005 Author Posted December 31, 2005 i've spocken to Britains direct about mine. he said return it to the shop where i bought it from so they can send it on to RC2. They will check it out for quality control. I've theres a few of us with same problem, hopefully they will look into it more. I planning to return the case combine and get a few other bits instead like the slurry injector Quote
