Phil P Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Turriff Show today and Monday, got some great pics this year, mainly of the vinatge tractor rally which will follow. However star of the show was this beast which prompted my friends to go "oh my God!" in near harmony.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Bit tatty isn't it?!! What a weapon. I just passed a 460 parked up and they don't quite have the same appeal when you see these 600's and CR/CX's about the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 good pics phil, "oh my god" is exactly what me and the gf thought when we saw the 600 at the show yesterday. have to hope that someone demo's it now to see the beast in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think my early memories of Turriff Show are climbing in the cabs of the NH8080s, JD 1075s and Dominators, with 14ft headers- how times change. What I found a tad funny though was BA were there with their usual tent and had every farm toy on sale except for the Lexion 600. What a missed opportunity that was.

Phil P Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 They had a tyred version at fingal, what a beast! Amazingly the only combine on display was the 600. Its as if the other dealers have given up, i'd say 3/4 new combines round here in the past few years have been 500 series Lexions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 There was a JD and a NH at Lusk but the lexion was drawing a lot of admirers. I was at a Claas dealer up the A1 a few weeks ago and there were at least a dozen 480's out the back awaiting delivery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 i think a lot have switched to Claas this year \, i've seen more my way than any other. Yet to see a JD :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Best to get harvest out of the road asap,then there's more time for playing "the fendt goes ploughing" or "the fergie goes drilling" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil P Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Best to get harvest out of the road asap,then there's more time for playing "the fendt goes ploughing" or "the fergie goes drilling" Absolutely, its not at all uncommon to get snow round these parts in November, I've seen heavy snow at sea level as early as October 2nd. A lot of farms round here like everything drilled by the end of September if possible to give the crop all of October to establish itself. The other consideration of course is the tattie harvest, which also needs to be completed as early as possible as a wet September followed by early October frost can ruin the crop.

Deere-est Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I hadnt seen any for real before this year either Countrynut but on my travels this year it seems they are quite popular over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 we had a 570 out on demo at the weekend with tracks on, gives a much smoother ride but unfortunately it adds between ?10 000 and ?15 000 to the price on that model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
