Eurodeere Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Great photos BC. Good to see such clean combines, I guess you don't have dust in Aberdeenshire! The 1540 cab is interesting, the open roof will allow some air to pass the drivers head. In the drilling photo on page one there is a hopper in front of the digger, I guess the big bag is emptied into the hopper and the hopper used to fill the drill?

We are out of Wellheads now but i don;'t think we have sold the Ness as yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link Bill, it's a tidy little combine and nice to see the the "Lord's" brochures on it too. I am aware of a smallholding not far from me that had a baby cabless MF 307 sat in a shed, but yet to see it surface this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
