NewHolland2 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 The irrigating of the carrots has been stopped for just now to allow the irrigating of this year's tattie crop to be started...... ;) Slight over-kill on the tractor I know but it is the only free John Deere just now and it needed an outing before harvest time......

NewHolland2 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 The team is all packed up and will head off soon...... The combine should be out again to start on some more Barley and then come September we'll make a start on the bean harvest...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate......The motor looks a bit cobbled together but it does the job and uses up a broken trailer...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 The New Holland TX66 was out again yesterday with the New Holland TS135-A and two TM140's carting off, we just decided to keep the floats on one of the TM's to save taking them off and putting them on again for seeding work soon...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 So is the TX your favourite combine then mate? The CX looks like the reserve machine! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 So is the TX your favourite combine then mate? The CX looks like the reserve machine! ;) Definitely mate......The number of real TX's around here is incredible......The farmer who owns the field around my house has used a TX66 for as long as I can remember so the TX's have earned their place in my heart...... The CX will come out to do a bit of work in the beans later on, doesn't get used for much else...... There's another TX and two CR's lurking elsewhere in my collection too......

CX820Joe Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 NH's are most popular round here too - mostly slightly older TX32/34's plus some of the newer ones; I thought one farmer nearby had swapped his TX62 for a a CS, but its actually another TX (65 I think) so they're obviously well liked, solid machines. Annother farmer a few miles down the road has exchanged his 8050 for a TX as well. I really like the CX's I have to say, hoping to get one with the latest decals to go with the previous one - should have kept the original one as well though!!! Might get another of the older ones if I can and change it to an 820 or an 840. Three 880's would be showing off! I did have a TX66 but it departed for Staffordshire earlier in the week Cheers Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Well the list of TX's around here includes to TX66's, two TX63's, one TX32, two TX36's as well as a CX880 thrown in for good measure too...... ;) I hope to get pics of the TX63's in action soon as they're the only one's I don't have pics of...... I did want to get the three variations of the Britains CX but money doesn't allow just now unfortunatelty so I'll have to be satisfied with the oldest version...... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Very shrewd of you - I think its the best of the lettering personally! They were onto a winner when they decided on that one were Britains - how many more decal changes will they go through? I'm still waiting for NH to resurrect the Clayson name for their combines! Very few CX's around here, though I do have pics of an 820 that replaced a TX32 this year; saw another one a few days ago, which i think is a 780 but thats about it! Mind you if the TX's are as good as they seem, its no wonder there are so many about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Strange only one here and thats gone in for a 540 and it was a 66 must be an area thing and the dealer coverage Claas rules the roost along with MF second at a ratio of 20:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 MF's have always seemed a bit rare around Shropshire, never seen anything newer than a 31 which was D reg. I wish I'd had a camera on me when I saw a pair of 865's at work but lo and behold I didn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be another decal change yet if the CX Range continues as they phase in new names for tractors, they may move onto the combines too......
