The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 That are some vere good pictures you have made Like the first from the new holland and the case with the valtra most. Texas Thank you Bas. The weather has restricted any further photographic travels recently, there's been some very heavy rain around locally. Really enjoyed finding the 2188, very impressive looking combine. I know Ertl produced a very basic model of that type but i'd love to see high detail 1/32nd example of an older Axial Flow.

Deere-est Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Monsieur Derwent is really spoiling us!!! Those 36's are a wide old combine, a formidable looking machine and quite an appetite even by today's standards. Lovely low light shots, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Monsieur Derwent is really spoiling us!!! Those 36's are a wide old combine, a formidable looking machine and quite an appetite even by today's standards. Lovely low light shots, David Thanks for your very kind feedback Tris, always appreciated, although i'll admit those last two have undergone a small amount of editing just to soften the glare and bring out the combines features a little more. They really are magnificent and very purposeful looking combines the big old TX and TF machines, definitely huge favourites of mine. ....and yes they are rather wide. I spent a lot of time photographing the TX-36 and out of the two hundred or so photographs I took many on this occasion were focused around the backdrops in contrast to filling the lens with metal. The final field I started snapping in you couldn't see from the level of the main road in the bottom of the vale. .....Almost forgot, the other half of New Holland's headliners from yesteryear.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Harvest 2011 in my neck of the "winter barley woods" is go! At least three farms in the Vale of Pickering made a start to their winter barley crops mid-week just before the rain arrived and here's my first efforts at capturing the action, in this instance a New Holland CX740 on thursday evening.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 heck that looks a very short crop david, very little straw from it to, There seems to be a number of very short crops scattered across the vale ready for harvesting Sean. Harvest has certainly begun much earlier around here compared to 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught up with the same combine on friday afternoon too, before the rain set in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Nice clear shots you have taken Walter,these modern nh combines seem popular and look smart too Thanks Jamie, appreciated. Whilst personally I prefer searching for and photographing the older combines such as the TX36 and TF46 there's no denying the more modern machines are very photogenic, really enjoyed taking a few snaps of this CX740 and i'm hoping to catch up with several more CX and CR machines that work locally over this year's harvest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Brilliant It's on the go down here too now, a few pieces of barley have come off. I am yet to see much actually in progress though. Thanks Tris, appreciated. Since I took these photographs i've seen a few other barley fields in my local area with the headlands taken off but not much else in light of some very heavy showers and thunderstorms which have delayed any further progress. The big CX8080 I photographed last year has got stuck into a few acres along with the Massey Ferguson 40 Auto Level that I found a couple of years previous. Once they get going again i'll definitely be out and about chasing after them. smashing pictures from our own ower on the land winner. I reckon i've got some way to go before I match the standard of some of winning photographs featured in recent year's competitions Ol. Although I am proud to say I have a couple of runner's up pictures residing in this topic. Thanks again for your very kind comments. Great pictures, much to wet on this side for harvesting, the barly is ready and wheat has a wile to go. Thanks Erik, really appreciated. The weather has cut short any further harvest action around here, plenty farms I know of are are all set once it drys up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 After my initial sighting of the New Holland CX740 I haven't really had much opportunity to get and about due to being swamped with work and problems at the flat I live. Harvest is well under way in the Vale of Pickering with the majority of farms tucking into winter barley and oilseed rape thanks to a recent run of dry weather. Before I post a few action shots here's a selection of photographs I took of some classic harvesting machines when I visited a local dealer's yard my Dad was preparing some shed bases for. First up a selection of John Deere machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Followed by the Claas and New Holland machines. Lastly ( it's been a while since I last saw one of these ) a red Deutz - Fahr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Nice photos as usual David but I think a Class engineer or mechanic is needed to inspect the handbrake on that older Claas Thanks Bill, wondered whether anyone would notice the rather large rock underneath the front wheel, I believe it had only just arrived at the yard that day. For anyone's curiosity it's an old Dominator 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Er David ....I stand to correct you on large rock....that is just a small stone as we would call it in Aberdeenshire...here is what we call a rock or maybe even a big "stien"(stone) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bit like saying the old Dominator 80 is large when there are machines like this roaming the land. Didn't think I'd find one of these hiding behind a hedgeback so close to home. What a monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Whilst it was great to photograph all those classic era combines followed by the shiny new Lexion 770, they all share the same flaw, they're stood still, so here's one that isn't. My friend's ageing Claas Dominator 98s getting stuck into oilseed rape last evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
