Niels Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Nice pictures as usual Phil, lovely. I don't know if it has been asked before but why does the farm run a New Holland combine that is otherwise religiously John Deere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hicksy Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Nice pictures as usual Phil, lovely. I don't know if it has been asked before but why does the farm run a New Holland combine that is otherwise religiously John Deere? Hi Niels, our last combine was a jd cts which worked really well for us , we had a nh9070 demo , and it proved to have even more out put than our cts, we tried the cts replacement can't remember the jd number , didn't think much of it so we orderd a nh9080. , we have tried the new jd's when they were launched still not so keen but have been told there are some big improvements for next year, as there is a new nh combine for next year , ours has been really good, very reliable , great sample the baler men love the straw plus we have a very good dealer three miles away .

Niels Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thank you for the answers Phil! A good dealer is always most important. The CTS and C series were always regarded good machines. Very odd JD have now stopped making them in favour of the T-series. The replacement for the original CTS (build to cut rice) was the 9780 CTS. Up until 2 years ago there were 4 CTS' very local to me. Only one has remained for this season. One got replaced with a 9780 CTS, another with an S670, the third with a New Holland CR or CX as it broke down last year and sat in the shed for 2 weeks! because spares had to come from the US!. Number four is running but won't be long I bet. Is this machine hired or leased then as you say a new one is coming next year? I've only seen the cab of the new CR but by the looks of it Claas is given a run for its money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hicksy Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 So is it the wheels next on the 2130 ? The tin work looks natural and in good nick , and now the roofs done that's the only bit that looks off Can't make my mind up , the rear mud guards do need a fair bit of work doing to them , was thinking working from the top down , but who knows it could be the wheels, but all that it a long way off really , I got on with the roof as it had two holes in so I wanted her water tight just in case it had to stand out side for any reason .

Hicksy Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Really good update Phil. Your 2130 is looking good, how does it handle the header trailer? She pulled it really well, if I had a pick up hitch on it I reckon I would use it a lot moving trailers around the yard , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
