jordantaylor Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nice pictures...interesting they are using the S670 rather than 690? Any particular reason for that...or is just there isn't enough volume coming thru the header even with the big macdon) to merit the bigger engine? Most harvest crews run the S670's as you said there is not much crop going through the machine so don't need so many horses. There are some S680's about but we have got a special S690 coming for corn with a fancy new header aswell, calnt give much away about that though sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 A common sight to see a Lexion gone up in flames (in the UK) but less common that it's a Lexion 600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEP Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sadly an all singing all dancing 780 with a V1350 header, (Oxfordshire) no longer exists...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Took these a few day's ago,just got round to re-sizing them,a brand new 14 plate Lexion 630,in it's first field I think, Rega Regards Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my uncle who did the combine work did that every day,and every two or three days got inside and had a good clean out on the walkers etc and other harder to get to areas. prob not so easy to do now with the modern stuff so much equipment squashed in there's not room to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well it was a fairly decent morning this morning so thought I'd go to the Vintage rally at Ladybank,but just as I was ready to leave the Heavens opened,after waiting an hour or so the sun came out so I set off,but by the time I got there it was raining,on the way back home,( on a different road ) I was amazed to see these guys at the combine,??

BC Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Desperate times need desperate measures Joe . I know the farmers renting the ground around me were combing and baling when there was a slight drizzle but I think it was just a case of cracking on due to the volume of acres they have in barley...circa 1,000 acres.

catkom3 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Went for a little run around with the camera to see if there was any action,and caught a few folk busy here and there, Was surprised to see (in the distance) this Claas Jaguar with whole crop header, Was even more surprised when I uploaded these to see they were making poly tunnel like wholecrop clamps,never seen that before, Then caught this Claas Mega on the way home, regards Joe.

Jdeere6910 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Haven't had much chance to check in over the past few weeks with the stop-start harvest we've had, mostly finished round us now. Here's mainly what I've seen from my travels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Nice MF on the baler Pat, nice to drive is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 New this spring Ol, much improved over the 6490's but still badly designed in places meaning its not the easiest to use at times. Not a bad all round tractor though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Theres still a bit going on around my neck of the woods; I think the farm the covers most of the area locally are onto their last stretch now - two big fields of beans with a New Holland CX8070, and I also came across a Lexion 630 quite a way from home in some barley. The driver gave me a demonstration of how far forwards and backwards it can lean (Montana) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I imagine this will be about the last harvest action I catch around here - unless some of the maize growing locally is used for grain - and although this isn't a very good photo, it does capture a combine at work in a field of Quinoa, which isn't the most regular of sights.

malcy_p Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Harvest is over for us too now that the one field of millet left has been harvested... funnily enough it was the same field that we saw being harvested in October last year for the last day of harvest 2013, if that makes sense! Full set of photos up at malcp.com but here are a few highlights... Now the wait until July next year... /malc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
