BrickWild Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I really would like to see what's on the back without the logger attached! I've noticed that both front & rear hitches can be raised/lowered manually by the means of the small linear actuators!
Jim Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 The tires of the Claas are great. Just opened the box and obviously went straight for the tires. They are pretty firm, yet more rubbery than I'd expected. The compound is softer than you'd think from the pictures, yet harder than the Unimog tires. I will discuss them in my review of course. Just had to share this.
Alonzo Brickovsky Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks for an update. Is BWE in the hands of a secret reviewer as well?
Jim Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks for an update. Is BWE in the hands of a secret reviewer as well? Secret reviewer I don't know....but I am the reviewer for Eurobricks
Jim Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 Unfortunately I don't have lots of time this week (almost none), so I will work on the review next week and hopefully publish soon. But I reckon it will be somewhere third week July, sorry
Alonzo Brickovsky Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Secret reviewer I don't know....but I am the reviewer for Eurobricks I mean, it was posted before that someone else is doing BWE review instead of you, right?
Jim Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 I mean, it was posted before that someone else is doing BWE review instead of you, right? Correct. That will be Blakbird. But this is the Claas topic so I'm hosting the show here Well, there will be lots of reviews online before mine. Sending the sets while they are available in some countries is kind of demotivating when writing a review. But I will still do my best of course.

Jim Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 I'm only interested, if it will be posted before 22nd July. Most likely not. But I can tell you if it's worth buying before the 22nd, if that'll help
hsky Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) I think I can give you guys these: Thanks Edited July 12, 2016 by Jim Removed images from quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Observations: - There are 3 catchovers in the inventory. Two are visible in the crane, but the side panel of the main body apparently has two switches. One switch links to one catchover, any idea about the other switch? - There is 1 mini turntable. No idea where it's used. - There are 4 new wheel hubs, the ones used in the Porsche. Edited July 12, 2016 by nguyengiangoc
Jim Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 Bit of a strange situation....there's no embargo date. So technically I can publish the pictures?! But that will render my review a lot less interesting.
JGW3000 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Yellow and MSG axles 5 and 7, plus axle 11 in yellow , and green flex axles , and those tires Edited July 12, 2016 by JGW3000
dhc6twinotter Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Interesting to see one steering rack, despite the four wheel steering.
AlphaX Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I think I can give you guys these: Well, that much to : "no set on the horizon yet" :D
Milan Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I am willing to wait for a proper review in full of its glory, but I know lots of guys would like to see the pictures before that. (I want to see them, too, ofc, but would rather wait a bit more).
dimaks13 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 - There is 1 mini turntable. No idea where it's used. In the crane.
Jim Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 ...and those tires Okay, that's it. I can't help it, I need to post this picture (click for hi res). indeed
Alonzo Brickovsky Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Bit of a strange situation....there's no embargo date. So technically I can publish the pictures?! But that will render my review a lot less interesting. If that means voting, then I'm for an official review :)
Jim Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 If that means voting, then I'm for an official review :) I think that's indeed better. And I will keep me motivated. So, I guess that's it with the teasers
Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I'm drooling so hard at those tyres I can even flood my house
