MT755C Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 On the back road to Stansted - Do you run the Lexion and some Masseys? Yeah the 570+ with 30ft and then a Massey 6499. I only live on the farm not work there or own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Cultivations have started across Wiltshire and Berkshire. Saw a New Holland T8 pulling a Simba tool near Devizes among the New Holland CR's cutting rape and a Challenger 800 series working down barley stubble near Hungerford. A lot of stubble about now on the lighter ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 My favourite CX820 has now been sold; its been replaced with an 07 reg CX8070; the same machine is somewhere in my 'recent travels' pictured working near the canal when with its former owner. I didn't expect to see anything after the rain we had in the morning, so didn't have the camera; mind you I think I've uploaded far too many CX photos over the years, need to seek out some different makes and models! Incidentally, the dealer is asking £76000 for the 820! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 It was all action close to where I live until the heavens opened, plenty of barley being felled and a number of farms making a start on O.S.R. Some very heavy showers crossing the area as I write this. Hasn't been the best of weeks weather wise, lots of cloud and very little sunshine.

TM190 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Should all kick off properly around me this week I'd say with the winter Barley, IF the weather holds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Did 35 miles tonight, didn't see anything at work (been quite stormy today) but a few combines parked up...it seems the farm that ran the Fortschritt E517 I caught last year has replaced it with a Lexion 630. Seems odd seeing a 'mainstream' combine there, before the E517 was a Fortschritt E524 and before that they had Volvo S950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
