FR 700 with the Cat has been replaced with an Iveco 16 liter and it's called an FR 780. The 600 also has the 16 liter. Basically same as older FR's but different seat, different controls on the right side, different KP options and full length spout liners. Rear bumper has storage area also. Maybe a few other small things that I can't remember.

So the 600 will have the same engines as they do now? Hope not! Our fr9060 is due a change this autum may have to change breeds as that engines has no torque.

The engine in your 9060 is only a 12'9 liter engine The new 600 will have the 16 liter You won't be disappointed

That had a single turbo 12.9 liter. Not sure if it's gonna keep that engine or get a new one.

So you think this engine will be better ? Have you driven a 600+ with the new engine ?

We ran the 16 liter in what will be the new FR780. It was much better in torque and horsepower than the 12.9 liter. It never derated itself or gave any issues while we had it.

It's a pity they have no demo units of the higher hp models here in the uk. So still undecided on wether to stay with NH or change colour.

You think the class is better? Tryed a 860 this year quite liked it loved the v8 engine, only problem is they are dropping the v8 for a straight 6. Don't really want a maxed out straight 6 engine.

Change to the 870 V8 Merc or 970 V8 MAN,
VERY few who move to a Claas from the others ever make the move the opposite way again!!!!!
It is a RARE sight indeed in my part of the world to see a part ex Claas Jaguar sitting at another Forager dealers yard!!!!!!
