malcy_p Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Evening Strangers! It's been a while (don't ask - hell and back would have been an easy shortcut!) but finally I have some spare time to have a hobby again. To which end, I predict that this might see the light of day... finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcy_p Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Date was entertaining - she's really smart, clued up and switched on, gopd career in the Civil Service and even laughed at my jokes but alas, she didn't set my pulse racing. However, we've planned to meet up again after Christmas and it may turn out to be one of those slow, smouldering fuse situations.... However, to the business in hand. Not happy with this so far, but for what it's worth here it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 would taht have beena grass header or puerly mazie header fitted on there malc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hmmm - good question. I don't really know anything about green harvest stuff, you just don't see it in Suffolk - just wall to wall Lexions (which is just fine with me!) so any input from you guys is very welcome. Looking up on the shelves in the office here, I have three Claas Jaguars in my collection (and 12 different Claas combines!) which are a Britains Powerfarm Jag 6xx with a pick up header, a Siku 695 with a whole crop header and a Norscott 900 Speedster with the Orbis (?) RU600 auto contour header.... So I was thinking of going for this header; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This will be different to say the least and knowing who is building it I would push the boat out as to say I bet it is a corker when it's done too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
