JC Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Thanks Gavin... I'd rather hang from one ******** in the air for 4 hours :D :D :D Yuck they are the wrong colour... and it would only break down and you'd ask me to help fix it :D :D :D You're all confused again I see Marky...... you should know there is only one colour scheme for a combine and its lime green. I might take you up on that offer Gavin, I know true claas when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Will be going there for about 2-3 weeks before we have to move to one of the other farms nearer Norwich, got until beginning of September though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Well it certainly looks the business, if it goes like the Challenger 660 then MF maywell be heading for the forefront of combine sales, let's hope so eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never, got to be yellow or green and grey Seriously though MF unfortunately still don't have a big contractors machine to compete with the likes of the NH CR980 or Claas Lexion 580/600, until they can get up there with those models and rebuild their tarnished reputation, especially in this area they won't do it. What they once had with the older models the Droningberg models destroyed for them with their reliability record \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Thats what I mean though Gav, if these newest Massey's go aswell as the Challengers I raced around Kansas in then MF stand a good chance of rebuilding the said tarnished reputation. Not over night of course but things may well be on the up. Let's face it, the tractor sales are showing a promising growth period for AGCO.

Not over night of course but things may well be on the up. Let's face it, the tractor sales are showing a promising growth period for AGCO. That i will agree on, the red numbers are slowly building up again, although Fendt are the stronger sellers here. If they get a combine to compete then i'm sure we would have one on demo, we'll try anything except JQ :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 The JQ's had their day but since stubble burning was banned there is no need for them!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 If they sort out there rotary there trying in germany and the UK this season and whack a 550hp engine in it not the tiddly 330hp they will have something to help them compete I will defend the 7278 though theres alot of people round here using them to cover 2500acres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hungry combines but I dare say more horses and tough clutch packs will be needed in our damoer and heavier conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
