The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 nice picture , remember having an interview on a farm in the cotswolds were they ran 2 TF's and a smaller TX for tight areas, Thanks Peter, there's a couple of fairly tidy TX36 machines not far from me that I also hope to find at work this harvest along with a whole host of older 8000 series machines.

Deere-est Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 How annoying is it when you pass a Lexion 600TT with 36ft header, at night, in rape, lit up like a Baghdad bombing raid . . . . and not having a camera. . . ? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It has started round here - one field done by the CX820 done and I saw a Lexion that has cut the headland of another field...and another field which I think would have been cut by a CX8060 also nearly done!

Deere-est Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Remember to get some photos for us Tris. Just coming to the end of a field of barley on the TX34, baling at another farm was rained off for a while. I'm helping a farmer who's TF42 let him down, he's going again now so whether I'm done or whether I'm following him in another field I don't know yet.

robl12 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Well was up around portsoy/ cullen area yesterday and cullen farms have cut several acres of winter barley an all the rape has now been swathed down. Nothing has been baled yet thought. Noticed that cullen farms had one of there lexions sat out waiting to go through the rape. Winter wheat is coming on nicely should be a couple weeks more spring barley is ripening up nicely should be several local boys in that when I get home in 2 weeks. Quite a lot has been badly lodged though with all the heavy rain we have been having only the green stuff has been hit riper stuff survived well.
