countrynut Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Enjoy these photos I took yesterday, thanks to my mom telling me about the machinery parked just down the road from our house. I had such a blast getting these photos; my best ones yet I might add. I hope you enjoy them and get a kick out of them as much as I do I have a few more photos from different angles I might post later on. The farmer hasn't finished picking up all the alfalfa so i may get some good "action photos: Oh, and the machines are still parked down the road. May have to take a stroll this evening with the camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Thanks for the pictures, some unusual kit there, especially the 7820 and swather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrynut Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 I know! I saw the 7820 and I was like "Something just doesn't look right...hmmm what could it be?" I don't know why they would do that. Any ideas? Flat tires? Broken axle? It cracks me up to look at that poor thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 If only they left Deeres out in the fields over here, I could smash windows, lights the lot all day long ;D Nice pics countrynut, I'll send you $50 if you drop a few wrenchs in the 6850's feed rollers ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countrynut Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 ha ha!! You guys crack me up! I was hoping the Case STX 375 that I had seen go up the road before I got these pictures would have been around for a snapshot but it wasn't... I know, it's tempting if you aren't a John Deere fan to go graffiti those,ha ha!, but while I like NH and Case more, I like tractors overall so my conscience won't let me do anything such as dropping wrenches into machines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 why do the americans have most of there big tractors as 2wd then??? they just look so weird to me ,i guess cause they are all 4wd over here when i do see then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 wouldn't look so bad if it had super singles on the front ,or even wide low profiles but the ground compaction must be huge with all that weight through those front tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Is it the turning circle, fuel costs or just tradition - I've always assumed the last point played a part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks for the pics Ruth, nice countryside round your parts. That JD does look mighty odd, never seen one like that up here. Any chance of a chat with the driver to find out why??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Great photo's. Those swathers are making an appearance in Europe, Kuhn make one which we saw at Agritechnica. The 7820 does look funny, like a tractor puller. Some nice photo's though but it looks like they were half way down the field and though bugger it, that'll do. Turned the key without the turbo running down and wandering off to the nearest bar!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Is it the [glow=red,2,300]turning circle[/glow], fuel costs or just tradition - I've always assumed the last point played a part Turning circle?? :D IN AMERICA? They hardly need steering nevermind a tight turning cricle!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 the american way is minimum depth tillage at high speeds so the assisted front axle as they call them (4wd) isn't needed as very rarely used for heavy draft work just drawbar working so a 2wd will do the same ammount of work as a 4wd with out the extra cost & wear & tear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
