weblet375 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Had a drive around Sunday saw some combine action.first was brand new 18 plate cr9.80 in osr,next up 16 plate cr 9.90in barley. Last was cr 8.90 in osr,this was a surprise because as long as I can remember the farm has always had class machines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Just gone past a field on the way back from torquay, has been cut as stubble there so i am guessing winter barley , as thats all i have seen being done so far , and in it was a nh??? Ploughing it and lower down a mf 76?? with powerharrow/drill combo planting , what would you be planting this early in the year and in this weather with it being so dry?? Can only think its being put out to grass maybe ? They were kicking up some serious red dust its that dry , unless they know rains coming why would you bother . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Sat in the hotel at southampton , on the 7th floor looking up the river . about 2 & a 1/2 hours ago a big car carrier the “grande europa” came in, been sat watching on the binos and out of the ramp in a line came 3 class foragers of some sort, looked huge , twin exhausts fitted ,the cabs looked different , and the back end to, higher? Maybe . one was on the new tracks the others on tyres , but no obvious model number on them just the standard colours and the red class logo , way bigger looking than an normal jag i have seen, tried taking a pic but to far away on the mobile to see them even zoomed, as i type ones already on a low loader trailer and is being sheeted up ?? Is there a new model coming ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I was down in East Cork today and I saw lots of silage trailers on the move. There were John Deere's pullling full loads through Mayfield and up the N20. I saw an 8700i with a Kemper header on the N25 near Middleton. Two Masseys and a Case Puma near Aghada, and a T7 near Middleton at dusk. All were pulling new Broughan trailers, and all trailers were colour coded. I didn't see any harvesters at work, which is a pity. Would have loved to get some pics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I also saw a farm with some very old Masseys, including a 165, 698, 50B, and a 2000 series 4wd. There were also a couple of very dilapidated Lee 8 tonners, a 4m MF30 drill, and three or four very old and battered New Holland 1500 series combines. A few miles up the road was a shed with a Deutz Fahr Topliner combine, a Super Q Ford, and mot interestingly, a well worn Joskin 3500 litre tanker. Never saw one of them here before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Its the silly season here in the east Anglian fens, everybody is out either cultivating, drilling or harvesting rootcrops or maize...………….trailers everywhere, you name the machine and Ive probably seen one in the last week!! Highlights include the new tracked DeWulf potato harvesters with one big farmer running three in his 6 machine fleet...………………...plus a fleet of brand new hired in CASE Puma 165, 185 tractors to assist his own New Holland T7.210s. Big John Deere 6Rs everywhere hauling maize, loads of Fendt 724 and 936s, One huge local salad farm with hired fleets of MF 7700,6700s and NH T7.210, 190s all over the area...……..Two big Valtra T fleets, one dark green machines the other all black ones. A brand new CASE Optum 300 just up the road...……………………..two black Deutz warrior 7250s on Shropshires maize carting with Kane 16 tonners (that was a first for me) pictures too follow in another thread. They were among 16 tractor trailers and 7 different brands hauling from a 2 yr old Krone Big X1100...……………..lots of JCB 4220s as well and a fair few 8330s, two of which hauling orange tri axle Laumetris trailers...…..whoever they are?? Quite a few old MFs and Internationals about here too, MF3120, 3085, 3070 and 2wd 3060 plus a mint 2wd International 844xl or similar number...……………..sadly not many old Fords for some reason. Well I did move here because of the high level of tractor activity and tractor dealers around the Isle of Ely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Laumetris would appear to be Swedish,or maybe Lithuanian,but there is a dealer in Suffolk,. http://www.laumetris.lt/ptl_tractor_drawn_semitrailers Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yes there was an Lithuanian sticker on the back of one of those trailers now I come to think of it...…………..and I got some more photos of a tri axle one on the rear of a Puma 240 last week, the uk dealer obviously is pricing them to sell.................probably a lot cheaper than a Larrington tri axle no doubt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weblet375 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Saturday night on my way home from work saw a massey tractor overturned blocking the road. It said on the news the driver was 5 times over the drinkdrive limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 something i do not recall ever seeing this way,a pair of belarus 1523-3’s heading through totnes, both 4wd one with a 8ton marston on,the other with a front loader,which i guess is easten european,as it had a very strange looking system to it. never seen them before,and both looked in good condition,couldnt see the number plates to see how old they were though. only ever seen one other this way,a very old looking logger out dartmoor way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Saw a mint condition blue roof Ford 8340 on a 95/96 year "N" reg on Thursday hauling a dolly behind it...………………….I think it belongs to an agricultural mechanic who drives it to and from his premises of work...……………………...he uses the dolly to hitch up a big artic trailer and block the sites entrance from the gypos……………………...I have also seen an 8210 GEN3 in his yard a few times this year as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 CASE 956XL has appeared in a local small farmers yard, it looks like its been resprayed or very well looked after and is an H reg 1990 , so one of the last of the proddy line I would guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
