Pingu Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nah we just use 10cm accuracy so standard satalite signal Ol well he has 2000 acres spread between wheat, rape and barley mainly as break crops for onions and potatoes I didnt think so either but he seems to do extremly well from them But think these pictures do the talking started in engine bay somewhere but thank god that problem is dealt with was a bag of tat an embarresment to the name Claas last one is the good side...

Tractorman810 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 burn baby burn eh, thats not as good thing to happen even if it is a pig of a machine most of the time for you,loosing a machine right at peak harvest will only cause hassle, at least the driver got out ok mind, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 its crazy how fire can bring a 100k+ machine down to being a worthless piece of scrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Well thought I would give this a little update well we managed to finish harvest with the help of a good friend and there axial flow and hired in a CX8090 with the NH really showing how slow straw walker machines are . We have a since bought a ex demo Claas 580+ with 35ft header with GPS which will be fitted to my deere for rest year but only with lightbar guidence as i dont need full works just boom control on sprayer really. Full works on combine though Well as soon as we finished harvesting ended up starting our ploughing campaign with my 7530 boss start early with me taking over around 9ish and going till late managed just under 800 acres in around 3 weeks not bad going really I thought on a 6 furrow plough well here's some pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 First picture is of tractor on last field well full field till I went round all the headlands of last block of land as we'd roll and power harrow straght behind plough then do headlands as brought up less straw on first run headland and made it smoother for me. Had the magnum on the power harrow which has now been chipped so never knew it was there so I was pushing my 75 hard on the plough drinking tank every 10-12 hours :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 I was then let loose on the Cat for a few hours till got rained off :'( but it was first time I used GPS and can see benefits I could keep eye on what was being done not trying to keep it straight which on this ground was usefull as was easy to block culti-press and having 510hp it didnt know was there Then what I've been doing a fair bit of which is spraying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Some you may find this interesting this is how were drilling our beans this year off our topdown after bit playing about but coulters on back of each leg with it being piped from the front tank mounted on challenger we have now got 2 distribution heads on back as there was too much back pressure in the system. Here is our normal drill 8m Vaddy with best day this year was 250acres in pouring rain so reckon could do 300 in 11hrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash 600 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 nice pics there the fire done some job on the 600 in all fairness if it was giveing yous that much trouble it was the best thing that could off happened we run a 09 600 and a older 580 which will be changed next year for anew one never had any trouble with any of them . but the 600 wasnt running right at the start but sorted out straight away flying ever since think yous got abad one those sort of acres yous are growing you would be better of buying new what do you think of the 7530 never drove one see a few round our way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 It was really best thing to happen to it but been easier if happened 3 days later but we hope the 580+ coming is as good as they promise. But the 7530 is nice to drive but having few troubles mainly with oil leaks on it but one thing is for sure on them they can be thirsty when drinking hard I feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Why are you only taking the CR through 1000 acres if you are farming over 3000? Is a new one coming to replace last years bonfire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 The toy arrived not too long ago this is before i got to use it and the difference between self propelled and trailed is large alot quicker and smoother should help clear acres bit quicker and easier JD 7530 is now on fert spreader so still clocks hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
