not sure if the brothers own all the kit and i dont know if they milk i only spoke to the forager driver very quickly he said there was 80 acres of maize to cut where they were that day and they still had 300 to cut plus what ever they had already done so they do quite alot between them

Is there still a lot of maize to cut round your neck of the woods? I know up here we are done but another contractor near us still has in the region of 1000ac to cut and Alvis who my mate works for up Bristol way have something like 500ac to cut still.

superb photos there,for me there is simply nothing to touch the class harvesters,heads above the rest,build to last and engineered to the to the last,i dont have the same view to class tractors though,but in honesty the tractors dont have the same pedigree as the harvesting equipment,having took over from renault they had a job on there hands to make a bad tractor good,the set up with GIMA helped a lot but isnt enough,many neighbours here had renaults and all experienced mainly gearbox problems,one i know has had a gearbox rebuild twice and hasnt reached 7000 hours yet,to me thats unacceptable and id have got rid of it after the 1st failure,in a recent poll in classic tractor class tractors were voted the most unreliable tractor but the harvesting equipment has the years behind it to make it the best,they should have redesigned the whole tractor losing everything connected with renault

yea there is still alot of maize around here, some parts seem to be all finished and some parts dont seem to of started yet depends what part of the county you are in. 

the harvester was working from one side of the feild so he would swing the shute over as he turned at the headland
