B O R Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 i had 2 neighbours who bought a 339 to drive with a mf1200 and a 342 to drive with a mf 1250 at exactly the same time(both contractors)...i worked for the 1 who had the 339 and drew away from it for 2 seasons before he changed to precision buying a taarup 602b,then 602c,then the 622,but the new holland 339 lifted a lot of grass as did the neighbours 342 on the 1250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Bleedin' 'ell!! You really do take the thought and realise it into a stunning model every time! Never seen one of these for real, though I think the farm I used to work on had an old red one. . . Anyhow, love them both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Amazing work again Brian, always enjoy looking through these fantastic foragers you keep building, do like the red 339, a chap round here used to run one before swapping it for a Claas.

MJB1 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 like the foragers brian, just like the real thing , but smaller \ never used one , but have hauled away from one ,can't remember the model number, powered by a ford 7810 on mown fields , was a real power sapper , think it may have been easier with a standing crop. i hauled away with a little 4100 & teagle tiger trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 i had a yellow 339 and a yellow 342 so thought id sell my yellow 342 and replace it with the slightly older model in red,so now ive a red 342 and a yellow 339,there are a few differences in the earlier model,but luckily my neighbour has one in red in perfect order that i measured off,anyone who used these said they wre the best double chop ever made,strong words,i remember the taarup double chops getting a good name too around here,seemed to go on forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
