A former custom operator around here ran 2 FX New Hollands, it seemed like he was always having issues, even had a hydrostat go out on a new FX60. Another local NH guy has an FX35 with a 6 row chain head, and at around 7-800 cutterhead hrs., the trough under the auger has already worn through and doesn't feed right.
I personally like the Deere machines we've had, no personal experience with Claas but I'd lean that way over NH. JMHO
