looks good from the small pic doesnt it,thats more the typeof combine i remember when i was young, a deff addition to the tm fleet

[Deerepower]

wonder if they have plans for other makes of vintage combines?

[Kris]

Nice should be good that scorpion loader looks nicer everytime i see it.

[CX820Joe]

That is nice!  I think I shall have to find space for one of those!

Looks like a Gigant rather than a Standard to me too

[Mike R]

I was hoping that this one would appear

[Tractorman810]

recon so mate, would be nice to see a small/mid sized dominator next, thebn maybe a small/mid size early lexion???

a claas senitor would be nice, but I was thinking about something like a M.F. combine as they are doing the older M.F. tractors

[Tractorman810]

yeah it would i must say, personally i recon the claas range will get a doing over first, senitor eh?? is that what came after a matador then?? not into my class

[Deerepower]

came before the dominator range mate

[Tractorman810]

recon thats uh's aim, all the classics up to a nice new lexion or even the new model out, tuscona ?? was it

[Deerepower]

come to think of it the senator range might have been the smaller range to the dominator and was out at the same time \  the new one is tucano

Mark, Senator was bigger i believe than the Matador but smaller than the Dominator....but not by much \ \

need to scan the page really :D

[CX820Joe]

Senator/Mercator should definitely be the next model - if they are planning to release a range of Claas classics - But a Dominator 85 with a cab would be the ideal model for me, they have always been my favourite combine, with Senator a close second!

blimey the matadors are early 60's  i can stil lremember seeing loads of those at work when i was 5/6 so arround 76/77, proves how good they were in their day i guess

[FB]

Around 1989/90 I suppose it would be, there will still a few around - notably one at the Shade Oak Stud farm in Bagley, near Ellesmere, and in nearby Weston Lullingfields I can remember seeing one.  Even better than that there was a Mercury and a Consul at farms in a little village called Haughton which is near the Shrewsbury - Chester railway line...Senators were also very popular around this neck of the woods as well.
