    Hi there,
    We're looking to upgrade the tractor after much discussion,we have a case 895 4WD at the min,no loader,about 6000 hrs,good tractor for all we do...we're looking to go up in years a bit,something with a loader and forward reverse shuttle..anybody here driving a class they seem a reasonable priced tractor with a good spec...I've seen a lot of contractors around here with the bigger HP ones...and alot of them would have been deutz before...so what are people's views on the 340cx version or class tractors in general... ðŸ‘

    Cheap for a reason... lads around here had the old model to the 340, a celtis and they gave endless trouble. I wouldn't recommend them tbh

    Have an arion 530 here and it has a gimma (MF) back end. Good tractor to pull and never failed us yet, easy to operate, very comfortable and a good view out the front. They have a very poor trade in value and we had a of both with sensors in out one, typical MF stuff.

    We have a Axos 340cx this past 2 and half years. Delighted with it!! One of the lads above said cheap for a reason which is bulls*&t. The older versions may have given some trouble but they were basically Renaults with claas livery. Claas are now in a few short years the 5th best selling tractor in this country only just behind case by a few units and yo me that says something!! In short they are a great tractor work away you will not regret it!!

    Drove the 640 arion lastyear for afew weeks,could,nt really fault it only on minor details.would imagine they would,nt be the 2nd hand seller that the m.f or some other makes would be.but that would,nt matter i suppose if uwere intending to keep her long-term.be biased saying this but i,de still buy a massey over one.top class drivers tractor and the dyna splits on the electric shuttle are GREAT.big plus imo for loader work. health aware and power too tear anyway whatever road you go.
