There's a big mixed team harvesting last years carrots - still - under straw, on the way into work at Brough (if I time it wrong I get stuck in the traffic behind them at 7:30!). Case MXs, NH T7xxx, Easterby trailers and a muddy red lifter I can't see closely in the rush to work.

Seems that the one bit of silage that happens every year here happened today, trundling past the window there's been 3 big NH's with bailey trailers, one NH in Maserati Blue. A new JD on a 4 rotor class rake and older JD on a west trailer. There was a smaller trailer in Claas colours, may have been a Marshall but cant remember the tractor on it. Haven't seen the forager though, they normally have a Claas.

That sounding very much like Ashworths 2nd team there James.... they acquired a half dozen Bailey's and about the same in NH's over the past 18 months, but still retain a half handful of their older trailers..... In between the showers they have mopped up the 2nd cut at Withgill this last week, and used to do a farm over near Littleborough somewhere ;)

Great fun at the T junction in my village this evening,  I followed a brand new CASE cvx 160  towing 17 ton RL trailer heaped with onions upto the junction....................coming from the left was a JD7530 with grain trailer..........coming from the right another JD7530 this time with 25ft Claas cutterbar & trailer,  behind that Lexion 570, behind that another JD 30 series and grain trailer...........chaos followed as the road was completely gridlocked ;D

very tidy mf 8110 on bale haulage. and a very very nice case c plated 1594 4wd , with quicke loader on very skinny rows all round ,even they were spotless in yellow someone cares about that old girl for sure , also saw a jcb 526 farm special loadall ,like the first britains one  not so well looked after, but I have to say its the first I have seen in the flesh , plenty of other jcbs but never one of these

I cant see anyone around Newmarket buying a Fendt forager Mark, no matter how good they are...................Nunns wont be able to give the kind of back up to it that Manns can for a Jaguar or Burgess for a Deere 8000...............even though Krone and New Holland also have really decent new foragers now, its a two horse race in our region.

 

Anyways I passed P J Lees Lex 780tt finishing off the last of the wheat harvest tonight and passed three of their JCB 4220s on grain hauling duties, to and from it :)

I will track them down with camera when they hit the Maize carting in late October.

a immaculate jd 6600 4wd on a new herbst drainage trailer, unloading stone for a builder into a jd gator as they couldn't get down the lane to the house with anything more,the deere looked almost like new,and clearly had brand new tyres on so I suspect it may have just been subject to a  re-spray .he did manage to demolish 5 of my mates cones reversing to the parking bay despite it being a good 15 ft wide till that point  :laugh::laugh:

Well maize harvest is off and running down this way, went past several cut fields today on the way down to launceston ,and on the way back saw a krone ? ( couldnt see the number) being drawn by a class axion  i think with marshall trailer and following was a nh t? 7 at a guess with a kane trailer , plenty of mud tracks on the road and the entrance looked pretty churned up for a far way into the field, guess slippery roads are back for a few weeks as no one seems to clean up behind them anymore ;D
