Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Matching numberplates on the trailers!! I am impressed. Those Agrimac trailers look very 'NC' if you ask me. Liking the two Deutz tractors, Mark. Good crop of maize too by the looks of things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Great pictures you have made there. I have seen also a 12 row header at work. I get the impresion that this size off header isn't stable . So it don't leave a even field behind. I hope you all know what i mean. Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the big combine headers in the USA have. Or duals on the forager maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks Cerin & Sean Tris, unusual to see matching plates indeed, one man keeps his tractor and keeps to the same trailer on this gang I think. They weren't too impressed with the agrimac - looks the part from a distance only You're right, the maize has done pretty well here this year, the ground here retains moisture which helped during the dry April May June we had. Bas, the 12 row worked well, and the ground here certainly undulates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 they had them agrimax at the cornwall show this year mark, 1st time i had ever seen them before, looked well built, but i guess apprences can be decepitve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Thanks Mark. I'd place my bets at that chap being a credible chap to work for at first impressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only wheels on the back mate.. ned wheels for the road... legally the axle loads are too high.. hence the 12 row comes with a trailer.. Big old header... it is an interesting design, works with a chain pulling the stems over a stationary knife... Great pics, thanks mark!

MODELFARMER Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 is the the John Deere haverster maize head that has a small wheell for road transport i think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Maybe it's an option. A contractor I worked for who has a 2006 Krone has the header trailer. His header is the vertical folding version which is lighter and less engineered than the horizontal one Cerin has posted. I know matey only folds it between fields, always trailered on the road.
