Tractorman810 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Wouldn't be surprised, theres some very healthy looking fields down this way , most are well golden ,although you cant see the underside Or middles, majority look to be winter barleys . I’ve mostly been along the south devon and cornwall coast of late and all are the same , seen several combines moving although nothing cut yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.watson Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I’ll sum harvest 2020 up right now in the east, without having even started. Lots of reading material in the cab for the grain carters as they won’t be flat out, and room in the sheds for the machinery after it’s all over.

Stabliofarmer Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 My knowledge on crops is pretty poor, but I'm fairly sure this shouldn't be so golden, or so short at this point in time. Field in Staffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simong Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 We are hoping to start the winter barley this coming week, at Ardleigh near Colchester Essex and Creeting st Mary in Suffolk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I went round the local AGCO dealer yesterday now they've reopened to the public. There were a couple of new 700 Fendts and more interestingly hidden round the back their are a lovely pair of new Fendt twin axle big balers...………………..and better still their heading to a farm just up the road from me and going behind two 936s having replaced two of their new Hollands. Also a new MF tedder and a few old Challengers including a matt black one......Ugh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 As luck would have it I got stuck behind local mega farmer Bill Legges all Fendt baling rigs as I approached home, fortunately they turned into a nice easy field for me to photo them……………..the two balers are brand new and looked very smart behind two of the companies three 936s. Also brand new Fendt 942 in Nunns yard with R38 front rims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 just come back along the estuary from dawlish to newton abbot, and loads of fields cut along there, most cleared of bales already as well ,pair of mf 3000’s clearing one . still not see a actual combine going mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I still see quite a few old MF3000s about the place, lots more than the equivalent JD, Fords or Cases of the same era!! Yesterday an old farmer came through the village in his mint L reg (1993) 3095 which he keeps polished to a very high standard. It rarely works, he just goes out for little drives in it when the mood takes him And the day before I got stuck behind a local turf merchant who pulls a lowloader behind a very tidy (1995) 3645.
