Claas Jaguar - Wiking or Marge?

[CX820Joe]

I’m thinking of getting a Jaguar forager to go with the Krone and Fendt I’ve got, and can’t decide between the Wiking 860 or the Marge 990.  I know the Marge will be excellent and have far more metal content but I would want a grass pick up and I’m not sure how easy these are to get hold of, whilst the Wiking would have one included.  

any advice?

Marge all the way, still the grass headers about if you search about

Thank you both, I will give it some thought before deciding, though the Wiking has been discontinued now so may not be around a lot longer.

I have the 860, it is a great model. Don’t know what it is like compared to the Marge , but I haven’t heard anything bad about them.

I had the same dilemma Joe. In the end I decided to forget the Claas and go for a Marge New Holland.

Based on this model and comparing it with my Wiking combines I would say Marge everytime. Far better models.

Thank you for that Peter,

i think the quality of the Wiking models has gone down over recent years but I was very impressed with the Katana.  
 

Still need to chew it over a bit longer, the New Holland is nice too, but it’s mostly all Claas around here so would like a miniature version.
