JoshParkinson Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Nice pictures Josh, whats the claas like? and get a merlo on demo, we have 2 and they are really good machines, bet you will like them shes a beauty, got all the little switches and everything on it, a 7030 would be nicer though to give us the capacity we need, and nahh i've heard merlo are good but i dont fancy one really and neither does the boss for some reason \ i do like the claas though i must say, that's the thing with claas everybody is giving them a bad name especially the tractors, when they really aren't that bad, + the acceleration on the claas would probably outrun most teleporters anyday because its just stepless, just push the pedal and go, which sounds pretty good to me !

Interesting you say that, we really like our merlos and there is a lot in our area. The transmission on that is a cvt hydrostatic and like the class it makes it so easy to drive. Claas seem to make a good forklift but they seem expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claas seem to make a good forklift but they seem expensive theres no merlo dealers round here really, and nobody seems to have them so i've never really thought much to them, it doesn't matter to me if they're expensive, if the boss is willing to pay then count me in !

schw84 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Id say the claas is the best machine out of the 3 by a long way, but then its made by kramer and that's German engineering for you. I'd go look at the Manitou 736 or what ever number it is now, we only brought a JCB last year because it was over £10k cheaper than the Manitou, but next time if the same deal isn't there it will be back to Manitou they ride better and have better all round visibility. The class is tough and has durability but the equivalent machine to the Manitou is £10k more still.... Nice pictures btw, and as I always say on here to younger people, be careful exactly what you write as without a ticket you can't drive a teleporter by law and combines and PTO equipment have some kind rules about age limits too if I do remember. I was the same, I even when and helped the police out once on a teleporter when I shouldn't have been driving it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshParkinson Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 each to their own I suppose, and if the JCB and Class fit your buisness better then it must be the right choice yep, i think the claas is just slightly ahead because we can use the same dealer as what we use for the combine and the 640, and also the gearbox is like a vario, but the jcb is still a very good handler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are the reason he didnt get one on demo is that they aren't made anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
