bluegreen Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 On one of the local mega farms they now run a JD 9RX and when it gets dark the lighting package on it is unreal!!!! It really does look like a UFO has landed in the field 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I passed a new New Holland T7 short wheelbase near the CNH test centre earlier today, at a glance something looked different about it...……………….I did watch a video recently where a NH salesman said the 2019 machines would be slightly modified to incorporate more safety features, so maybe I noticed some of those...…………………...And in the rear view mirror I could have sworn it had T7HD rear black mudflaps incorporated into the fenders...…………………...and not the cheapo versions on the T7.165S I might add. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 A local contractor stores some machines in the sheds behind my house. He arrived up earlier to take out a machine with a brand new Fendt 724. It replaced a T6080 (boo hiss) His other tractors are a 415, a 718 and a John Q T6.215R 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 dont remember that one mike, i honestly thought it was sat on a flat bed or in the tub until it was to late, its not the sort of thing you expect to see, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I was down in Essex at the end of last week and whilst I was driving back up the M6 I saw 2 Krone Big X foragers about 10 miles apart in the field alongside the motorway. The first had a John Deere carting and the second had a New Holland alongside it, didn't get the model numbers of the tractors, too far away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Met a 1455 with a 14 ton silage trailer between Tullamore and Kilbeggan. Then I met a second one. Then a third. The first was a transition model, the other two were facelift models. Rory Day needs to know about this methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed Rory about 10 years ago but nothing ever came of it-In fairness he probably gets 100's of emails.Must root out the list but there were some real old gems in the sheds . If you go to the very first pic of my old topic on the road with fintan, a picture through a fence of his yard.Let me know if you need more info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The field across the road from Farm Power (JD Dealer) was knocked yesterday. I had visions of getting a photo of a Blue fleet pulling out of it today, but they must have lifted it over night. An awful of of Tier 4b blues in otherwise green and yellow fleets around Cork. The tide is turning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T7050 raking , T7.210 on the Fusion 3 & a Fusion 2 is also on hand.. T6.180 with a loader on bale carting dutys . They probably have the most impressive NH fleet in Cork now SPN..

bluegreen Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Maize planting has just finished around here and the biggest maize company Pretoria energy has its 5 tractor fleet of New Holland T7.315hd concentrating on tanker work with Garrant tri axles and spraying with large Horsch 6000 litre trailed units. They also have added at least two new T7.210s to their growing fleet as well...……...impressive set up as they appear to be utilizing 300hp T7hds for various different works previously carried out by 200hp JCBs on a smaller scale.

Tractorman810 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 few odds and sods today on my travels, in one field a fendt7 or8 series with a front mounted grass tedder, and behind a mf inline small baler with what looked to be a ritchie flat 8 sledge, but the version with the big flat rubber belt floor for the discharge part, not seen a mf i line small baler or this sledge before, and in the same field a MF 4000 series, with mf loader and flat 8 grab on stacking, i to piles, but not for a grab trailer, as on the back he had a tanco or similar bale grab , so i asume once he stacked a few he was running them back after. also went past a barn with 2 x mf 525 or 625 series combines parked up,and beside them a nh clayson, couldn't see the model numbers, mf were in front first,clayson the other way ,but with luck i may have to detour back past that way tomorrow time allowing to get a pic, headers appeared to be on trailers tucked in one end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Travelled to Tramore Co Waterford for a day out with the kids.. I must have seen 20+ Case tractors off all sizes ..lost count. The one that stood out the most was a Magnum 335 with a Hawe chaser bin being followed by a NH C8090 combine up the hard shoulder near Midleton..Plenty of Pumas ..2x NH T7.225s and 1x T7.210 with Broughan silage trailers.. NH TM-190 and grain trailer,JD 7930 & low loader with a JCB excavator on board.. Ford 5640 2wd & a Q cab 6600...2x Deutz Agroton M600s maybe with Hi-Spec tankers, 2x MF 6465s possibly with McConnell hedge cutters, Fendt 936 with a very large unknown grain trailer..many more ..but ALOT of Cases..very popular brand down around east Cork and Waterford..

CX820Joe Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Nothing started around Shropshire so far that I've seen, wheat is still green and barley doesn't look fit yet. Far cry from last year, they were well into it by this point in July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
