There are some good bargains in the Claas shop at the moment, I had a bit of cash for my birthday so decided to get another combine, I thought about the Dominator Maxi but ended up going for the Wiking Commandor, I know it is meant to have some issues but it's a little different. I got these from Tractorium. Their prices were much the same as the Claas shop. Even cheaper for some items. They had Wagons and rakes also going cheap. Worth checking out.. https://modelltraktoren.eshop.t-online.de/epages/Shop43853.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Shop43853/Categories/Aktionsangebote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The Claas 228 Commander is as cheap as chips on the claas online shop, It was around half the price of what most online farm model shops want you to pay. I always check out there first if Im interested in anything Claas, always is the best price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pays to shop around and postage should be free when you spend so much in one order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was much easier ordering off the site than in the past - that has put me off - I really would have liked the Dominator 85 with cab as that was around 55 euros but didnt bother as thought it would be a faff.

1/32 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I’ve been looking for one of these for a while now. I’m very pleased with it other than a missing beacon and a part I can’t find a spot for that was floating in the box. Does anyone else with one of these Cougars have an idea?

robbo Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 I suppose that this could also go in "what really annoyed you today". The long awaited Same Titan arrived today from Italy however, the box was badly dented and the model inside was damaged with the exhaust being snapped off. The model itself was also loose in the box as one of the screws holding it in place had come adrift, this was probably the reason that is was damaged although I have to say, it was well wrapped in bubble wrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPS Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 That’s a real shame Mike, as it’s a fantastic model. Based on your posts, I ordered one too. Luckily mine arrived undamaged, but it looks like your outer box has taken quite a beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I like that model Mike..looks real nice. It's a petty it got damaged. But it could have been worse. I'd still be happy with it. Hope the seller sorts it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hmmm, not one of those shows the header in a raised position or the grain lids up or the rear wheels in a turned position?? And it should be a darker red, but maybe its just the lighting, hence my request of pictures that someone has taken having bought one to see if my concerns are unfounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you would think there would be a matching one somewhere, I’m starting to think this came off another model and was tossed in the box. I’ve looked at pictures of these online and have not seen anything like this on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 As far as I can see the Couger only has Indicators / lights / chevrons on the back,It does seem like the extra part you have is from another model.?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZbCqudYnas Regards Joe.

1/32 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Must be, that’s good I suppose. I have a new set of beacons on the way and then it will be sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
