Deere-est

You are kind of right fp. Rotary combines were always known for beating the straw, making for crappy bales and loosing straw through the stubble. Over the last ten years though the rotary combines have been given a second chance due to prices in the UK being so bad. The straw some years isn't worth a bean so trying to save it for baling and the sale of it seems pointless. The other thing was the climate. Rotary combines arn't too good in grain with higher m/c where as straw walkers will plod on through. Now though again due to prices, we want to harvest the grain at it's absoloute best quality, to do this you need to go when the time is right and as fast as you can. On this point the rotary's do clear up well!! I drove Gleaner's in America, not a brand I knew anything about till I got there but having been a pilot on these things I can confess they are unreal. No gimicks or fancey bit's like the Case IH and the Deere's but that's the beauties. We ran with a guy who had CAT Lexion 570's in a few towns along the route and we left him standing. In Corn (Maize) he finally cracked and sold the four of them, finishing the season with second hand Deere 9610's.

JDC, you made them for your neighbour? I don't live nextdoor to you though but thanks for the thought. Can't wait to recieve them!! ;)

Thats definately a spelling numpty DJFB hey? P.S at the missus's at the mo but will put some pics of my Scaloox up during the week, will start on the back wall too I think.

I have seen CSG with Unimogs and fifth wheel twin axle bulk tippers for sewage cake. Anyone ever seen a convo done of an outfit fitting this description? I havn'y any pisc, sorry.

Thongs?

I'll be there with tea's and coffee's!!

Fantastic model that. I'd have no need for one of them but fopr the sheer 'one off' factor I'd love one of those.

Admittedly but farmers are among the worst for changing colours. Only the last few years has it been different and that is mainly due to all the mergers that we have seen, now offering farmers and other ag kit users back up etc they have always trusted but with more brands.

Fantastic pictures and great information there Gavin. Nice to see some nice head to head comaprisons by usewrs rather than propaganda. Sounds like you guys like to try them all before any money is parted with. Not too many farmers around like that.

Very good 885, very good!!!

120L/min is that through the crankcase seal? No no you guys are right. The chap I mentioned who went to McCormick only did so because of the dealer. He was happy with it, only tractor he had, he was the only driver etc so it wasn't abused or anything and it stood up to the test pretty.

Some might say the same about Same here, as in not seeing them working!!!

Quite like that canvas cab to be honest. Looks pretty effective.

Did you read my comparison mate? Lexion 600, my pics. In which I did a write up against Norscott's 580?

The farm I worked on had an old Nonser thing. Big old diesel thing with a heavy addiction to easystart!!

**** me!!!

A Same with a full diesel tank surrounded by old pallets . . . ... all it needs is a tanker driver to flick his cut out switch and ... .. WOOOMPH THERE IT IS!! :D :D

Of course it's two models, one is the Multi-Farmer!!! Nevermind the mudguards, the three point linkage is more than a give away!!!!!!!! I'd take a guess and say thats why Farmer Palmer posted them.

Probably not an addition to my machinery but to see this is good news. Maybe it will spurn a few more ideas from other 1/32 camps. Nice looking model all the same though.

Look forward to the photo's, very much worth waiting for. Merry Christmas, all the best for 2006 Bill. I'll toast a drink in your direction.

1st, Fendt 920 because I'd like to play with the gadgets, look for the topless girl in the screen memory and also see how all the ingenuity makes the thing work. 2nd, TM190 because I havn't been in an NH since the 8560's so would like to see the progress.

Still relatively new though I guess MF, I remember the first powershifts being the same. Our 7840SL pi$$ed all over numerous 8240SLE's due to that problem.

There is just no trust on this site!!! Little wonder why though!! :D :D

15/hr an d you can keep the driver?!!

Theres a few in there that look out of place.... out of your place anyway!!! Look far better on my shelf. I tell you what, why dont you send the TL80 covo, the TJ and the TM190 down to me for a demo?!
