CX820Joe Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Page working now- probably something this end, the old Home hub is up to its old tricks again! I think it was Monday I ordered one from the Claas shop, have also ordered one from Geoff too, as I thought it would be getting on for next month before it came from Claas, and i have no patience!

jcb4cxkid Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 what do you think ? how much would you rate it ? is it worth the money ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Just had to make a quick trip to Honiton so called in the Claas dealers and spoke to the Parts Manager (a keen model farm collector). Claas had 400 Tucano's airfreighted into Germany, these are the ones being sent out now. Another 2600 coming by sea due late July. So there will 3000 in dealer boxes. Factory closed down 2nd & 3rd weeeks in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi To answer your questions... Header attachment is via two ball ended lugs, a little fiddly to engage into the plastic header given the delicacy of the model but positive enough to hold securely once in place. Removal is easier and simpler. Personally, I'm really chuffed with the model - loads of detail as we've seen on the UH Europa and Matador - but a little disappointed that the grain tank cover does not open but I have thoughts on that subject! Rating the model? Easily a 9 out of 10. Had the grain tank cover opened it would have been a 10. It makes the Siku 600 and Norscot 580 look very basic and toy-like, and for not much extra money on top of what you'd pay for the 580 or 600. Trailer detail equally impressive, right down to the foldable taillights. Worth the money? As a diehard Claas fan, very much so. As a collector of farm models, if you want a modern combine then definitely. As stated above, for the additional cash on top of the price of a Siku Lexi 600, def worth paying the extra for the level of detailing. My only other (personal) anticlimax is that unlike the Siku Lexion 600 the Tucano doesn't lend itself to adding remote control... the detailing is such that adding a second linkage for RC steering would be very obvious. However, as with the tank cover, I shall ponder the possibilities. Watch this space! Interesting to hear about the 400 in circulation - if I'd bought one more I'd have 1% of the total number in Europe... Any other queries/questions/etc, let me know! /malc.

CX820Joe Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I think delivery may have been attempted of the one I ordered today as well - I tend to go in and out of the back door so didn't notice a card stuck under the front door from DPD courier - it was international so assume was the Tucano...

PDH Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Just called in the local Claas delaers. The Tucano is still not available from Claas UK so couldn't order one as I wanted. However they now have a UK price for it, just under £42 plus VAT so it will cost just over £50 from a UK Claas dealer. Looks like the end of July before I can order.

I had ordered one from him but Claas only airfreighted 400 into the country. He is expecting another load at the end on July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airfreighted 400 all went to Claas Germany, now sold out. Claas UK awaiting their allocation of the remaining 2600 due in the next few days.

Scotty12 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Dont know if this is the right place for this question but: 1. What is the width of the header in cm? 2. What is the width of the combine itself without header in cm? 3. What is the height of the combine itself in cm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
