Took these pictures of my now ex colleague on his 7920 with the tillage train this morning pulling up wheat stubble

I'll miss it to a point but i sure as hell won't miss all the muck and dust that comes with it. The new job doesn't involve much arable work other than baling and muck spreading so it will be ok

Yeah it really did on that farm, the lighter land wouldn't hold it so well, only cut 3 bits there that were mostly standing, the rest were awful with shot bits and kept blocking the knife \

Finally managed to get the last of our wheat finished in the past 2 days, took some pictures yesterday as we hit it hard with 2 Lexion 460's with 25 foot beds and a demonstrater CR980 with a 30 foot bed, the result was 200 acres mopped up in 7 fields in one day 1. All 3 combines together 2. Our 460 emptying out

I managed to get a picture of the grass harrow yesterday, take it this is what you were thinking of Tris -

This is the new tractor that the new boss has bought my colleague, i had a drive in it yesterday and quite frankly it beats the JD hands down that he bought the other guy, was well impressed with it
