Combines Cat Factory in Germany

[Big_Truck]

Helmut, We run mostly a JD tractor fleet but for our next purchase it just might be a Claas tractor because JD have become too expensive!!.We bought a 100hp Renault Aires (now owned by Claas) in 2002 to run the grass rake_fertiliser spreader_sprayer in the summer and forage box feeder in the winter and its proven to be a very reliable tractor.If JD take away the engine for the Claas tractors they will most probably turn to Sisu (Valtra tractor engine) engines from Finland which are just as good.

I don't think Mercedes have any tractor type engines available in the 50 to 300hp rangeIJ

These are great pictures.I bought a cat combine video on E-bay, and it takes you through the claas factory. It shows these machines working in the field, and also the cat tractors. Got a lexion cap too in the deal. If there are any left on E-bay, It is a pretty good deal for combine enthusiasts.Thanks for the link. I can't wait to see it for real. A friend of mine bought a JD 9500 and he got to go to Moline and get a tour of that plant. I got a chance to go with him, and that was pretty neat too. Hopefully I'll have a chance to compare.
