Oooh - nice! Whereabouts was she??

/m.

Just south of Royston near Buntingford. I think it belongs to Peter Kendall.

A 770 in Oilseed rape this afternoon

More details - nice. You'll be pleased to know the new JD combine comes with pre-installed fire extinguishers!

Thanks - great pics. If I can, I'd like to get pics of the 9090 but if not, these would be great.

It's amazing what a difference a few small warning signs make. Obviously all the other updates are also great too!

We farm just outside of Stansted towards Manuden. We border there farm on the top of the hill.

On the back road to Stansted - Do you run the Lexion and some Masseys?

If that was in Manuden that would be our neighbours. Its a 5088 with 20 ft header.

Yup that would be the one - on the road from Manuden to Rickling just outside the village. Where are you?

Morning! A bit overcast in Suffolk for the last 24 hours or so, so not the best weather for photography... Also, as Suzy was busy I had different female company for a quick trip around the lanes of east Suffolk, hence the title of the web page!

/m.

She doesn't seem to have quite the same taste in clothing....

Hi

I'm looking to get a few photos of a real-life NH CR9090 on tracks harvesting in the UK - anyone seen one operating and/or have any high quality pictures they could share? I know of a few wheeled examples but none on tracks.

i.e. one of these - http://www.fwi.co.uk/community/photos/harvesthighlights09/new-holland-cr-9090-1jpg-129694.aspx

Need it for a little project I'm working on.

Thanks in advance!

Saw my first combine of 2012 working today near Bishops Stortford - a Case machine in Barley producing plenty of dust! No photos I'm afraid.

I don't think NH is that big in Brazil -all JD,Case and Valmet. I guess they want to make the NH as similar to the Case to try and gt som sales.

Presumably the TMs are made in brazil now

I think they are an option but all the Uk versions I have seen have them. I think they probably down spec them in the US v the UK.

If you are planning to upgrade a Britains model with better boots etc, I'd be interested in one as well. I have neither the skill or patience to do a decent job but would really like one if you fancy doing two together?

You could also do a brazil spec T8 - they are just a blue magnum. http://agriculture.newholland.com/br/pt/WNH/news/Pages/2011_maior-trator-do-brasil-chega-ao-cerrado_News.aspx

There was a review in model farmer a couple of issues ago if you get that - plenty of photos there.

I'd say the Britains is the better one for conversion - it has a much better front axle and has the extended wheel arches at the back as well. The one thing it does miss is the four additional work lamps at the base of the front of the bonnet. The Siku is a great toy and very robust but doesn't have the fine detail you are probably looking for. The LCN version is better but I'd still go with the Britains.

Out in France at the moment and if the speed of combining is a measure of yield then they are also having some bumper crops out here. Saw a CR980 with a 25ft header crawling thru a wheat field yesterday and a AB old NH 8070 barely moving in a field next door.

One or two other pics here:

And another

Might help if I attach the picture

Saw this via the BFF and Facebook..I think Malcy_p posted another picture last year. Seems it might be an updated lexicon range for 2013.

nice pictures. could you somehow cut the grass to make it even more realistic?

But I guess there would be to many differences between the 8080 and the 9090,

Regards

Joe.

Yup - they did produce one, but it said 'dual power' under the 8830, not 'power shift' like the UH model does.

I'm guessing this must be the model that UH referred to when they provided feedback on the review in model farmer of the 8830. The 8830 was definitely the worst of the initial 3 models released - it still had the large gear levers in the cab (not the funk power shift) and no front mud guards etc. Hopefully this one will be much improved!

Found these pics online. Anyone else got any good pictures?

I managed to get along to two today - one in Harlton, Cambridgeshire and one in Clavering, Essex. 1st place had a complete Case set up - two Pumas, a Magnum, a Quadtrac and a 9120 harvester. Very clean and tidy kit with a good range of Vaderstad and Cousins kit. They also did a harvester demonstration - driving it around a paddock harvesting the odd thistle. Really good event with some animals in he shed as well. Only thing I felt sorry for was the pig - that was about 10m from the hog roast! Seemed a bit unfair!

2nd place had some serious kit on show. Two Lexion 580+ TTs, two claas 85 challengers, a fendt 939 and two 7xx, John Deere 8320 and a brand new 6190 and an old MF 30xx. The neighbouring contract farm company also had their brand new New Holland T9.560. It made the Quadtrac (A 380 model) look small. It's just replaced a John Deere crawler - they were getting too many complaints on the mess on headlands and the purchase price is quite a bit lower. The new super single tyres also mean it puts the power down well apparently. They also were doing really good tractor/trailer rides around the farm.

All in all a truly excellent event - and all for free!

If you have issue 5 May/June 2011 there is a review of both versions of the wheeled machines in red and blue (or if you subscribe you can see it electronically in PDF in the subscriber section of the forum). The larger, single wheeled models are identical to the quadrrac version except for the tracks obviously. Lots of pictures there.
