PDH Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Currently we run a Jaguar 860 (the Norscot model), looking to upgrade. So what is the best model around taking detail, quality and price into account. Don't mind the manufacturer and I'd like to keep the price down. Do like the new Marge New Holland but price is a huge problem. Thoughts/recommendations please. Thanks, P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 The new Britains Jag is probably in the same league as the Norscot model. Otherwise, the Marge NH is the one to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FendtFarmer Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 You won’t beat the Marge, am a Claas fan, and the Marge jag is better then the Wiking, albeit more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thanks for the thoughts guys. After a lot of hunting around last night I've come to conclusion it's a Marge New Holland or Claas that is the best. Now I need to find one at the right price! Both come out at around £200 with two headers currently, so need to start saving! Thanks again. P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Cheapest I've seen the New Holland online is £199.99. Not sure whether you would get it any less from an NH dealer? Maybe worth checking with Claas dealer too if you decide to go for that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep seen the NH at that price, and they are not far from me either. I do need to see if any of the NH or Claas dealers have a better deal. again there is a Class dealer 6 miles away so a visit is planned. There is no rush, a few show coming up as well in the near future. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDH Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Continuing the hunt for a Marge NH or Claas today I came across this being sold locally - a Norscot Claas Jaguar 900 Speedstar with RU600 maize header, boxed and with a separate boxed PU380 grass pickup included. For £25 all in rude to say no!! The grass header says PU300 but in reality its a 380 Edited March 26, 2022 by PDH Typo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDH Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 I opted for the FR650 and it's only available with the grey wheels. Also this one is a limited edition of 400. There are quite a few variations on the 780. P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 The grey wheeled NH foragers first appeared back in 2011 at the Doe Show, they looked good back then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Photos of the model. Possibly the best diecast model I've seen, really heavy, weighs in at 2 1/4 kilos so plenty of metal. Paint finish is without blemish as far as I can see. All in all 10 out of 10 to Marge So the Marge New Holland FR650 Forage Harvester is a totally recommended!
