phil phoenix Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 In recent weeks the rain most affected the baler teams locally, they have gotten way behind. But after several dry days they are now on a tare. The local mega AD Plant owners Pretoria have bottomless pockets & have just added to their MF fleet with another 10 x 8740S😍 most of which are now delivered. 20 of these models now in their fleet😎 must make them europes biggest user of the 8700s. They also have bought 7 more Krone big pack 1290 balers to go with lots bought last year which I hadn't noticed. I only bought the NH 1290hd over the ROS Krone model because I thought there would be more of them locally! Got that miles wrong didn't I😄 There aren't any NHs working, but there are loads of Krones and they do look very nice too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) and yesterday at the 47th Festival of Transport, Hellingly (just along the road from where Dad was born in '22) East Sussex. Recently discussed on here due to model being done by Dutch (? I think)firm. Belgian built EVA Ford 5095 and a beautifully done by Irish refurb guy Errol McGuinness, last of the Major based Does. Correct colours and plated wheel nuts (NOT BLUE!...ffs, if you're going to paint them, Silver NOT Blue).

phil phoenix Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Most have finished combining now around the east anglian fens, thats usually the case by the late August bank holiday. One of the last is A.G wrights whom harvest 3000 acres plus across a very wide area. Last year they replaced a 9 year old 780 Lex With a smart new 8900tt which I finally caught up with on Saturday as it munched its way into 200 acres of wheat. They also were hosting a demo of a Fendt 9T in another field, so I took a few pics of both harvesters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The local farms CX8070 was out again yesterday, possibly near the end of its seasons work now in a field near the canal. Earlier in the day I went to a car boot sale in Herefordshire and in the field next to where the sale was there was a Same Explorer and Taarup mower at work 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
