The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 as allways David,very smart pictures,very nice Thanks ever so much Paul. As i've mentioned in the harvest topic on here, i've really enjoyed exploring an area i've never really ventured to before with my camera. Can't wait for the weather to improve so I can head out again with my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Here's a couple of photographs of the wonderful 1455XL which still provides useful back up power on this farm which has a fleet largely made up of modern Case IH Puma tractors.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hi david was them 2 Claas out near me at all mate just looks like a set up my way , i ve seen them 2 N/H last few years so glad youve manger to snap them + looking good so far They certainly were Jon. Just before you got to Eastoft. It's onlyt short ride along the M18 / M62 to Goole so i'm definitely hoping capturing a few more combines in that direction. The two New Holland CR980 combines belong to Martinsons at Howden. Very keen to photograph more of their fleet. Especially as they run no less than four TF78 Elektra machines aswell.

MDFord Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Fantastic photograpy as usual David - You could probably get a book full of your work published ! Nice find the 1455, bet it sounded nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Fantastic photograpy as usual David - You could probably get a book full of your work published ! Nice find the 1455, bet it sounded nice Thank you so much Mark. Still treating it as a very enjoyable amateur hobby at the moment......a book would certainly be nice though at some point in the future. The external hard drive I use to back up all my action packed finds now contains around 50,000 images from the last five years of taking photographs of machinery at work. Certainly looking forward to a lot more trips out over harvest. Given my current location i'm hoping to take in Nottinghamshire and Northern Lincolnshire aswell as returning to the Yorkshire Wolds and the Vale of Pickering / York. My smile certainly broadened when the 1455XL arrived in the field. Fantastic sounding tractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 you've definitely got a book in you David - maybe a series. I saw a few combines today but didn't have a camera with me. In particular a Fiatagri/Laverda 3750 I wished I had seen more of. Would head out tomorrow, but have promised to meet a good friend who I haven't seen for a long while!

Thank you for the encouragement Joe. I certainly quite like the idea of a record of some of the photographs i've taken in the medium of a book. I'd love to capture some older Laverda's at work as i've yet to find any on my travels....modern badge engineered McCormick aside. Hoping to be out tommorow evening on the harvest trail if I can get finished work in good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very impressive and diverse fleet of New Hollands they run from older TX and TF machines up to the more modern CX and CR variations. Certainly looking forward to another trip around Howden and Goole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Here's photographs from my most recent voyage to see this John Deere 9780i CTS in action near Scunthorpe yesterday afternoon alongside this John Deere 7530 and 16 tonne Stewart trailer.

I found an older classic today in the shape of a Massey Feguson 565 aswell as a combine i've been trying to track down since I started chasing after all the different variations out there...............a New Holland TF78 Elektra!

The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Well after some fantastic photographic trips out recently the local lurgy that's going around has finally struck me down so no combine chasing tonight despite the lovely weather surrounding me. However a night in on the Beechams and Ibuprophen has at least given me an opportunity to take stock of some my most recent harvest finds and the chance to sort through a few of my photographs. Starting with this Claas Tucano 480 knocking down wheat near the village of Great Limber in North Lincolnshire on 10/08/2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 My main reason for heading over to Great Limber on August 10th was to photograph this John Deere S670i combine after a "tip off" from a good friend. It's the first John Deere combine i've photographed on tracks and was being supported by a slightly older 9880i STS in harvesting this massive block of O.S.R.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Another photographic first for me whilst I was there was seeing some the harvested crop being unloaded in this Scania artic bulker combination. Loads more to follow from this venue including the 9880i STS and low light Sunset shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
