Yeah, it was the JCB again, never pushed a stack over....yet! got a suspect one on a field tomorrow though \ I'll see what I can do with the chaser pics, I don't use that so I'm not usually working where that is. Its a Walton Eclipse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a Walton Eclipse A mate of mine had one of those and said it was cr%p. Kept making the bales look rough and teraing out the sides, we had a QM super chaser, amazing machine on a 7920. The guy that drove it was extremely handy on it too. So the scale model when you have 5 mins shotgun the first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Good array of photo's Ben. .. .erm I mean Gav!!! The TX60 series doesn't look a great deal different o it's predecessor at all from some angles does it? So, notice a difference when you swap tractors then? Bet you soon get reminded about the drop in power when you get in the 78 and go to pull away with a lad up!! Baler pics are my favourite though, some gooduns in there. Busy at the moment by the looks of it and thats the main thing, hope your enjoying it buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit different but as that 78 is so tweaked up it isn't so noticable as it would be if she was standard. Nice and busy here at the minute, just done 12 hours shifting stacks with the ECE, anything up to a 6-7 mile round trip. Its all good fun, at least doing the stacks I don't get covered in so much barley muck as with the baling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well luckily for you guys I had to go and get a tool out of the McCormick today which is on the chaser so managed to get some pictures of it working. Would have been some of the 7840 on the Lely mower as well as I was supposed to cut a very thick and heavy grass field this afternoon but the slip clutch burnt out on the mower 50m into it so it didn't happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
