CX820Joe Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 No camera unfortunately, but saw a Lexion 570 TT very close to Shrewsbury in barley, and also a little further on a JD 9780 CTS about to start a field of OSR...there were a few more fields that had been cut as well, so its getting going now. Hope to get out with the camera these next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshParkinson Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The biggest farm in the area are in rape at the moment, seen their lads hauling back, but it must've been a fair old haul as i couldn't find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcy_p Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It's been dry in east Suffolk, but dead overcast for the last few days... combines out but not the best weather for photos. First up, a '60' plate 570+ TT near Woodbridge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massey Boy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Next Westrope's 600 looking very dirty... Good pictures! Combines always look funny when they been in rape and the headers spotless and the rest is lagged in dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcy_p Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Poor chap, my condolences . Hopefully you can find a nice old Dominator or Senator soon! Seen a couple of 90s Dominators this year, still hoping for a Matador but not holding my breath! In other bad news, one of the local farms (run by Kerrs) has obviously hit hard times. I know they've lost some land/contracts, but worst of all they have had to sell their two Lexions and downgrade to two John Deere things. Times *must* be hard.... /malc.

Niels Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Malc; Keep looking for Matadors, they are out there, somewhere! One serious question: Why is a Lexion nearly 2 tonnes heavier than a similarly equipped NH? This applies both to walker and rotor models. Compared spec sheets this morning and noticed a significant difference. Both figures quoted without header, chopper, spreader. I wouldn't say the NH is to light build so where do all these kilos come from?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 It's all the extra quality they build into the Lexions that adds to their weight! ;) On a serious note, how do the other stats compare - width/height/length, grain tank size, etc. Are the Lexions bigger as well as more sturdily constructed? /m.

Niels Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Lexion 650 is 330 hp max, has a 9600L graintank, 3,98m wide on 710 tyres, height not given, 800L fuel tank. Weighs 14400 kg. CX8060 is 339 hp max, has a 9000L graintank, 3,3m wide on 710 tyres, 3,92m high, 750L fuel tank. Weighs 13300kg. So that is 1100kg, or 1,1 tonne less. Lexion 760 is 530 hp max, has a 10500L graintank, 3,89m wide on 700 tyres, height not given, 1150L fuel tank. Weighs 17400 kg. CR 9080 Elevation is 530 hp max, has a 10500L graintank, 3,5m wide on 710 tyres, height 3,96m, 1000L fuel tank. Weighs 15.010 kg. So that is 2390kg, or 2,3 tonne less! Fuel tank seems to make the most difference with a couple of kilograms but not by a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a bloke round my way still runs a matador i'll have a word with a few people, see if he's still got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
