JoshParkinson Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Good to see an old 31 still going strong, we used to have one, the old girl ran 19 seasons without a hiccup, it was only on her 20th season back in 2004 she gave out, just had to nurse her through harvest.

Tractorman810 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 its amazing that if you look hard enough theres still kit like that going in such a big arable, huge farm area , theres a lot more smaller farms still going than you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 just adding some 2nd hand info from reading page 13 John Deere build more combines each year than Claas and Newholland put together, and claas is actually 3rd in the running! Although claas seems to have a bigger share in the uk in the world it does not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although claas seems to have a bigger share in the uk in the world it does not I can understand that, for example the USA are predominantly John Deere tractors/combines, Claas are under the CAT name in the USA and i wouldn't have thought they have anywhere near the size of share that John Deere would have in such countries.

mrol Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I think that's probably the problem - they focus on designing a machine for the US and Brazil Market and then try to tweak for European conditions. Claas are designed the other way round and hence work better in UK crops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although claas seems to have a bigger share in the uk in the world it does not Quantity does not equal quality, far from it. General Motors produce more cars than Porsche and Lamborghini put together, but I know which I'd rather have. Also bear in mind that European conditions are very different to the plains of the Corn Belt; different crop yeilds, different climate and so on. American cars are less popular in Europe as they are designed for the domestic 'Merkin market. Here they just don't work as well... /m.

harvey123 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Well barley has been harvested and baled and bales where in the shed by 2 pm yesterday afternoon, no pictures sadly didn't have the camera but when going out for tea we caught up with a contractor (simpsons) with their dommy 98s? or 94 cant remember now and pictures oof thta aren't the best!

CX820Joe Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The local farm in Ellesmere (which runs the CX820 combine) hasn;t been harvesting anything today, though it has been a bit showery in these here parts...however I did see their NH T7040 going back and forth with a rather decrepit looking Pottinger grass mower today! By the way - I believe this farm has gone from running a TM175 and 2 TM155's to a T7040 and a T7030...will keep a look out. I haven't seen them at harvest this season so can't even say for sure if they still have the CX820 though I doubt that would have been replaced. Edited to add...they also have an NH T6080, as I saw them go off baling a little while ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
