Thanks Martin weather is playing havoc on this job alright, and its pure peat grounf with a shallow layer of topsoil so ones the top layer is broken you go straight down. thats why the volvo a25's arent on the job. not really sure what he was thinking but it wasnt too hard to get out, all it took was a little nudge from the track machine and she was straight out. its a Komatsu PC290 so plenty enough to make light work it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civilpek Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 heres a better picture of it in the open sent to me last week. its a totally hybread machine, they titled it a case 7550 red i . the funny bit is they hate claas but yet went to the trouble of putting a picture of a jaguar on it with red eyes exactly like the one on the claas green i machines. sorry the pictue is a bit small but it was reduced to this size in the email, il ask him to email me a bigger version of it. i have to say it turned out well and is trully a unique machine with a very interesting backround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 So it's a JD 7000 series harvester, with a 6000 series cab, painted and decaled as a Case Jaguar... Whatever floats your boat! No but seriously, It does look smart! Especially with all those Case tractors hauling from her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but seriously, It does look smart! Especially with all those Case tractors hauling from her! not exactly Luke its actually for the most part a 00 reg jd 6950. the back end was raised by fabricating new higher panels just behind the cab and a frame made up to accomodate the 7500 series panels. there is actually a hole about a foot deep around the shoot which shows clearly how much it was raised, this space is handy for storing tools etc. the cab is the original 6950 one, while the lights etc are from the 7500 series and fixed into a new on site fabricated curved housing similar but not identical to the 7500's. she then was fitted with on site made rails on both sides and given the big red spray job and name changing. so in essence theirs a bit of a jd 6950, jd 7500, case brand and claas excellence in her. jason and Texas this is the machine for ye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civilpek Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 ya it was, i defidently couldnt be bothered going to all that effort. their argument was they couldnt afford a new one so just made an old one look like a new one instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
