Perhaps the big man upstairs knew I would appreciate seeing it and arranged for it to have little trip into my part of the fens Not sure about those chrome wing mirrors, that's a bit too much "bling" for me Nice looking tractor...but its all going a bit GTi.. What is the purpose of a tractor ?? If you had something like that...you would probably mind it like a baby & not go ripping threw the fields pulling a muckspreader or whatever ..but it would make a nice road haulage tractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Dean Bartrums maize gang arrived in the village yesterday, 2 x JCB 4220s (1 yellow/ 1 silver) + 2 x 16 row maize drills to plant some 150acres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 After spending Sunday morning working on a modification to my New Holland T7.315HD models, I went for a run out the back of my village and guess what I found working hidden away in the last field to be drilled with a crop...……………………………...I no longer believe in coincidences because these kind of anomalies happen to me fairly frequently!!

bluegreen Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Pretoria Energy arrived on Monday to put some liquid fertilizer on around 100- 150 acres of Maize that surrounds half of my village. They came mob handed with 4 New Holland T7.315HDs...………………….Two Blue Powers on the sprayers and two standard spec machines pulling refill tankers. I noticed one BP was a new 19 plate so they have had a fleet of new machines this year to add to the existing 5 T7315s. I reckon from recent sightings they could possibly have upto 8 Hds now with GJ Peck getting the business And a nice pic of Pecks CASE depot choc full of Pumas and Fastracs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Heres some more including the refilling of the second T7 hd and Horsch Gs6 sprayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 I must say it did seem to take a long while for the tanker to fill up the sprayer, ive no idea what the litre per minute fill rate would be? Its probably why they had an identical second rig working on refilling as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Oh Dear, I suspect it just got wind of the average tonnage its neighbours NH CR10-90 was achieving (80-85 tons per hour) and self combusted in despair!! Hopefully the damage was limited to the machine and no one was hurt. Must be a brown trouser moment when a driver starts seeing flames appear in his wing mirrors. That's not the first big Lexion to go up in flames either is it. Dalham Halls 580 went the same way back in 2005/6 I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 impressive service to get something that big out to them that quick, but i guess someone as big as vesty’s is a prime customer for them, so service like that keeps then happy.

Fire was caused by chaff lodged behind the exhaust apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Joe. its a problem with most combines joe, hence why you normally clean them down each day, ours were normally ,mid day and eve, with an old road compressor ready for the next day, its amazing where the chaff and dust gets blow, especially when its chopping rather than laying swaths down, see several jds burn out down this way over the years, at least 1 nh, and a mf last year, most being around the engine area , the longer the big guys keep running to get the acres in, the higher the fire risk gets sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Harvest pics 2019 starting with Bill Legges 936 and New Holland 9090 big baler, they've got three of these and this rig is newest. I understand their having two new 936s when harvest is finished and as usual saving big bucks on paying out for a pair of the new shaped machines ………(cheapskates!!) Heres a rarity, New Holland CR9.90 on wheels instead of tracks, plus a rather nice T7210 and nifty NH blue Richard Western trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
