    The Claas TT are very good on the road. One farmer in the UK (Olly Harris) ran his from one end of the UK to the other, nearly 900 miles , in three days for a mental health charity this year. I think that was a 8700TT.

    That ground shot of the Claas 8700 cutting corn as it came over the camera was amazing! That is roughly the terrifying view you'd get if you were to get run over by that monster & I was strangely relieved to see chopper/spreader appear & be able to hear my heart start beating again.

    I like your honest review of it i drive new Holland at the moment , but have also driven class case and Massey Ferguson, wich was actually a Dronningborg Danish built combine until Agco bought it the ideal is also developed with the thressing mechanisms in Denmark..i drive a new Holland cx80.80 in small grains , but have also done corn with we have a 8 row Gerringhof rota disc folding corn head Now we use a new Holland 9.90 twin rotor for corn .but corn in Denmark is pretty wet when harvested above 30 procent water .i have driving combines in Denmark , Uk. U.S.A. and Australia. Where i did rice too.

    Another great video from BFV! I guess I’ll put my plug in for the Drago GT cornhead, we recently got one on our farm and it’s impressive. The deck plates and suspension work well but I think my favorite part is the huge auger it just feeds everything so nice, even and gentle. That being said I know service and parts availability is huge so if you have a distributor near by, it’s definitely worth a look. Be safe Browns

      For Claas, these have been the original colours for many decades. I know that they offered yellow and black combines in the USA for a while, but the original German colours are green and the light grey. For Claas traditionalists around the world, the yellow and black machines look strange.

      @bobbyboykin7137 8 місяців тому +1

      ​@@peterdagon5530 I agree and understand the dealer/service aspect. But I know LOTS of guys who buy green simply because its green and wont even consider anything else. When a farm is ALL green I just hafta wonder, because every OEM builds a turd now and then, and they all have models that where they really hit the mark. Theres plenty of other dealers in my area, so its not like they could own a different color. Like my original post said, Brian and his Dad want whatever works best, and have had most every brand in their stable over the years. That tells you they use their head when buying, not what color the paint is.
