Smithy140 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 sorry for beening so stupid but what is whole crop its a cereal cut when its at the 'cheesy' stage. I'm pretty sure thats right and you obviously chop the whole crop as goes with the name. thats a great model there mate. looks brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05rich Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 nice conversion there never seen a real one before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 fair bit of it done now with the price of raw materials being so high, same goes with the re-emerging love affair with fodder beet , i think powerstar had pics of a contractor local to him using a JD forager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Will is right. It is best when at the cheesy stage. We have customers who grow it but we don't cut it, another guy has a direct cut header I think. Anyway, I love the header Joe. A superb job you have done on it. Take us tqiough it?

Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 very nice joe, well worth the effort, last whole cropping i saw was a claas jag with a old jd header on it, looked about 12 ft at the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Well Tris,it all started,( are you sitting comfortably ),when I bought this 60 odd mile drive,ain't going back empty handed,got it out the box,one of the drive wheels was slack/wobbly,so never was too keen on it,then I spotted the wholecrop rig and it's fate was sealed,incidently,those U H combines have quite a few laser ecthed panels on them on the main body,you can only see them when you take them to bits ??? , Regards Joe.

Fenside MF Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Great job Joe looks very neat Was the header easy to take off the combine as I want do a removable header on the massey version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi Jamie,it's all held together with a heap of phillips screws,except the header,it's kinda rivetted,there's like two diecast " pins " on the header support,the bit between the combine and the header, and the plastic header is pushed / rivetted on to them, I gently eased it off useing a big flat head screw driver,check out the photo's to see what I mean, Regards Joe.
