malcy_p Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Been rather wet in Suffolk recently, but I did see some action even if the combines were resting... 1 - A Lexion 470 that had migrated from Leicestershire to Suffolk 2 - 2x Dominator 88s combines waiting for a break in the weather 3 - Jolly name for a road... wonder how it got the name? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianih634 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 770 is a 600 with updates. Graintank, engine etc.. all the same. Just the threshing compartment improved and all the computer settings now easier. GPS and all. New Terra Trac's as well. Just a little bit more to it than that , New electronic system forthe whole machine and completely new hydraulic system aswell compared to the old machines .

CX820Joe Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 and I also saw the CX820 on the road heading to another field about half an hour ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshParkinson Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Went to the CNH dealer today, where there was a CR9070 and a CX6080 (which funnily enough the farm we are in partnership with just had on demo and are going to buy one!) But could anybody tell me anymore about the 6080? I was told they had it on demo, but didn't hear anymore, i've never heard of a CX6080 before? I noticed it had a new style cab which i've never seen before either, unless they are just on the smaller ones Is it a new series by any chance?

CX820Joe Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I think they have replaced the CSX series with these smaller CX's - check on their site Here you go: http://agriculture.newholland.com/uk/en/Products/Combine/CX5000_6000/Pages/products_overview.aspx?nhpid=CX5000%20&%20CX6000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshParkinson Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Cheers Joe, just had a look. They seem fairly nice combines, i'll be interested to see how it performs compared to the TX66 it is replacing, especially as they are supposed to be pretty much the same machine underneath.

Lord Ferguson Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Bit more from me.. now I have time to even break wind ... ... anyway.... harvest, for me at least, is over now I think.... For the last 3 days I have been the 3rd trailer hauling for TWO Lexions 580tt's.. and boy oh boy can those machines knock it over when you get two together .... at times we've been run ragged... but I don't think we ever had one stopped waiting for one of us to fill... well.... except for once... I think it got a bit hot... this load was not far short of 15t - it took some lifting I can tell you Didn't get much of a chance for photographs.... one more video for you... http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s259/markyferguson/?action=view¤t=d7d3dcf3.mp4&newest=1 and one image.... on Sunday we discovered that we'd not get all the corn in the store - as it was yielding so high... well over 4t/acre ... so they booked 6 lorries to ease the burden.... worked out perfectly as well.. we literally had to squeeze the last load in the the store.. That was one hell of a field... and with a big old hump in the middle too. Anyway.... I'm off for a lay down :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Just a little bit more to it than that , New electronic system forthe whole machine and completely new hydraulic system aswell compared to the old machines . Looking like a 7% real world increase in output for the 770 over the 600... and a max of 125t/h http://www.claas.com/countries/generator/cl-pw/en/current/promotions-UK/telematics2011-uk/start,lang=en_UK.html /m.

Deere-est Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 A lot of straw being moved around up hear too Paul, there has been a lot out in the rain over the past week. I'm heading down to Penzance tomorrow, then Helston, up to Camelford and then home via Sidmouth with a bit of luck. I hope I see plenty of scrabbling going on as we are in for some rubbish weather again as far as I hear. Nice photo of the two machines unloading together Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
