This is purely speculation, but as the NH doesn't have a front linkage I would think you are probably right, it probably sends the rest of it's time on trailers. I think they were just trying to get as much done as they can, the NH had unsuprisingly a lot more pace than the Claas

Last one...going home

I don't know how to break this to some of you, but this post doesn't include the ubiquitous Fendt 716

This photograph being out of focus :'(

piccys?

I'm a bit skeptical, what does "a day" constitute? Did MF actually run the spreader for a day, or take the time taken to spread one full load and worked it out from there? The wording could mean that the spreader has the capacity to physically spread that much in a day assuming it was constantly topped up, it does not have to mention loading or travelling which is an unknown given you could have a chain gang on pitch forks and a 5 mile trip to your muck On the behalf of FTF, I will get onto the ASA first thing monday and get this "mess" sorted out!

Haha, yes well I hope I don't get a numpty for that because I'll have to hound whoever gives it to make sure they never make spelling slip up aswell

I reckon if you match the sprout you'll solve it

That does look a good model and an interesting box - 14+ so like you say, not a toy. I wonder if we will see this come out as a bargin Britains version, ala 7020 and 1505?

If you think this repetition is bad, you should see what happens when someone posts a New Holland with a white cab roof! :D

I think the idea is a good one, it looks "right" but I can't help but be drawn to that exhaust, is it a tad too big?

Ah, missed that, it looked a lot different but I hadn't noticed why it looked different apart from the tyres

Can't be hard to organise a pair of balaclavas and some lengths of wire :D

I think that is the first time we've seen that though? usually we make do with U.S style or vice versa \

But they did lose the chance to sell the 6600 on general, a model which has a much stronger Britains hertiage than the 7600

It looks like it is nearly the difference between TIM and Farmer+, it is odd that they produced two different sets of tyres...I guess we'll never know if this was intended or if they pulled their finger out for the Euro competition

Not sure how much they are earning though I've just noticed how token the mudguards (fenders?) are on this thing, pretty interesting how some tractors had full width guards back then, some like this

I did think that the floorpan problem was probably a production line error, I couldn't see it passing the prototype stage looking like that \

Yep Bishop's Lydeard again

How big was this combine considered in it's day relative to the competition?

Any ideas why the cab roof on it is so beaten up? \

It does look like the droop has gone, but time will tell. I'm guessing no one at ford who makes the decisions really knows much about the tractor side anymore anyway
