well  class are shippig a lot of combines from their factory. I am based in gutersloh just about 5miles from the factor and the amount of combines leaving by road or train is crazy

I went to King's school in Gutersloh in the mid 80's lived in Bielefeld at the time.

Probably going to make a right t*t of myself now, but here goes.  As a kid, I always noted the number plate of the combine as a way to ID it (which worked out quite handy when you could see a particular machine working over a wide area).  Anyway, of all those I 'I-D'd' over the years, Claas won hands down; heres how they were spread: (all of these around North Shropshire/Wales Border, by the way)

Claas - 47

New Holland - 31

Deere - 20

Bamford/Laverda/Fiatagri - 18

MF - 15

Deutz - 10

BM Volvo - 4

Clayson - 3

International - 3

Allis Chalmers - 2

Case IH - 1

Bizon - 1

If you want to know what the different models of each make were can post that as well, thats when you've stopped laughing at this incredibly sad individual  :(

Nothing wrong with it; makes interesting reading! :)

Did you take any photos of the Bizon by any chance? 8)

Unfortunately not; I only ever saw it in the field the one time, and it was broken down then!  The neighbouring farm came to their rescue with their Clayson M133!  I think the Bizon was sold soon after, the farm that owned it started using a Contractor to do their harvest.

Nothing wrong with that mate, I spot tractors and combines by their plates on occasions too, so no worries...... :);)

Nice one Joe... nothing wrong in that fella.... and a 506 and a 307... both fairly rare machines... where did you spot those exactly 

They were both near Oswestry - the 307 was at a dealers (Shukers) and seemed to be there for ages - I should point out that I 'spotted' these over a number of years and the 307 was a long time ago.  The 506 was P reg I think - but I did see it more recently, well within the last 10/12 years!

There were a lot of others I wished I'd taken photos of - the Allis Chalmers 5000's and the BM Volvos for instance.  I will try and post some old scans later, not sure if I've got anything that exciting though

Can anyone tell me how to post pix - I have nicked some of my own I posted on TTS that I will post here!!  (If I can work out how!!)

Be Warned - there are some JQ's amongst!

Cheers,

Joe

post as normal then click on "additional options" and browse for the relavent file on your pc..... pic size needs to be less than 115kb though.

I've decided I may as well be an all out saddo so I've begun putting regs of Combines from photo sites/dealers etc into an excel list as well, so if anyone has any to add or knows of any dealer sites that might be worth a look I'd be grateful to hear from you.

Now, where did I put my anorak?

;)

I think it's hanging in the cupboard with your train spotting binoculors  ;)
