robbo Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 And then in the same field, John Deere 6220 and New Holland small baler There was also a JD 6120 2wd on carting duties but I got called away before I could get the pictures. The combine also blocked and there was a cloud of blue smoke and the smell of burning rubber. He couldn't blame the student this time as the driver was about 80 :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 great pics, cant be too many jd 1055 combines about a rare find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Had a good chat to the driver and he told me that they were considering a replacement this year but they were quoted £30,000 for a similar machine, they decided to do up the old girl and it cost them £5000 for new bearings and belts etc, he was happy with that and the old girl will be going for a few more years yet. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Keeping with Deutz for a minute, here is a rather forlorn tractor that appeared at my local recovery garage, a case of spontaneous combustion I believe :o :o :o :o :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 However, on a more positive note I have seen nothing but green today. First up JD7810 and 6 furrow Dowdeswell, this was really shifting, I can't remember seeing anyone ploughing so fast before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Then in the same field, JD 6920S with a power harrow/drill combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 A couple of miles away a real rarity for Cheshire JD 8520 plus 6 metre Vaderstadt Rapide. Apparently there are only 4 in the North West, two 4 metre versions and two 6 metres of which this is one of them. First, parked up and filling up with Wheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Is that your squad car in the background of one of the photo's, Mike? I bet they pap their pants when they see you pull up along side the field and get your camera out! :D Must be nice for them to meet a copper who has a genuine interest in what they do though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yes it is Tris, its just a Corsa, we refer to it as the Noddy car ;D ;D Most of the drivers stop and ask what they have done wrong and then laugh when I tell them I am just a tractor geek and I want to take photos of their machines, still, they often offer me a ride in the cab.
