mrol Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Not the greatest of photos - but a nice pair of NH CRs behind my house - a 9070 and a 9080. I didn't even see the JD combine until I got home and looked at the photos! Belongs to the farmer beyond these fields who also restores old classics - JD tractors and Fiat crawlers. He's been in Classic tractor once or twice - most recently with the Fiat crawlers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Evenin' all (back again after a long lay off sorting out a "new" PC) I've been surprised how few Combines I've seen in the last couple of weeks on my travels. Absolutely none seen all the way from Beverley to Eastbourne in glorious weather last week. 2 today around the Moors (a Lexion near Driffield and a NH near Pickering - Walter Dewent country) and that's about it ! looks like there's more than half of the harvest yet to finish round here. PS there's some lovely photos on here too - well done chaps Edited August 19, 2012 by JohnP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Good Morning John, good to see you back showing your face. Hope you get to see, capture and post some harvest action soon. Been a bad year for being able to het on the land this year. "Click Click David" has been giving us a good show though. I was up near Pocklington a week or two ago picking up tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Started in my village on Sunday (or probably a few days before), In a neighbours garden for a drinks party and a combine looms over the fence. "My car is out there!" was the cry from a couple of guests and of course a 4.5M wide combine on a 5M wide road does not have much of a chance to get past a parked car. One car went into my drive and the other backed up the lane at the side. Combine passed safely. "Another one is coming" we were told but the idiot who backed into the lane put his car back on the main road when he could have put it in my drive too! 4.75M combine came along half an hour later!

The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Great to see you back posting again John, always nice to know there's another set of eyes patroling the local countryside for combines and machinery. This past week has been very catchy and whilst a few farms have made a tentative start on their wheat harvests there's still some fairly large areas of O.S.R. still to be dealt with. Plenty of time left over the course of this year's harvest to capture a few more combines at work I would hope. Looking back at my own photographic efforts this year, i've captured 25 combines since the 22nd of July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Saw 15 combines working on the way home from lincoln today. We tried some oats but they need another day although might be going tomorrow weather dependant. These photos were taken the other day, as you can see here in Yorkshire we are very progressive and in vouge when it comes to harvest and cultivations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We're getting on well with harvest at the moment, we need three more good days and we should be finished. We also have the best wheat yields since my boss arrived there in 1997 so some things are going well this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Second batch of photos up from last week - you all know where to go!

Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 like john p i have been surprised by the lack of activity this side of devon / cornwall ,we have had 3 days without rain, good wind and heat to dry stuff out, and all i have seen is a mf 72?? working, loads of uncut stuff still arround, infact one field i go past has gone from being a nice golden colour to more brown ,with what looks like patches of black appearing in the middle? would that be rot setting in??? new one on me i must say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Doesn't sound like Fuasrium has been a problem for you guys then? Nope, only one very tiny patch in a field corner where the boss missed with one of the sprays. We have a very good agronomist and this year has proved the fact, the field we are in at the minute has a massive yield but the grain is quite shrivelled on the 30 acres drilled ehind maize, the 15 acres behind kale drilled in early December is a very good sample and we're now not sure if dropping that variety this year is the right move.

Tommy Gough Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Slowely going on around here. We have had all of our barley bales delivered and Lackham have the combine in some of their wheat by us today. I believe i can also see a combine header waiting at the headland of some wheat fields on the other side of the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 well i have just seen a unusal sight, the field i have been passing daily which has gone very dark brown and had black patches starting in a few places was being topped down tonight as i passed, nht 6070 with a big front mounted topper, clearly they have decided the crops just gone to far to save??? certainly a first for me, never seen anyone just shred a crop like that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
