NewHolland2 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Nice pictures mate........ Indeed New Holland have changed their numbering again so the new top of the range CR is the 9080........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Cracking snaps, is this near the roundabout for Witney from the A420 Stevo? Swindon side of it? I am sure I have seen that tractor and trailer combo up that way before. Some big old arable boys up that way I know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker is the farmer not to sure where the main farm is or how big he is but judging by the combine i would think big . These pics were on the marcham/wantage road just past the old mill where the road narrows up a bit about 4/5 miles from the a420 heading towards abingdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Wantage!! I mean't Wantage not Witney!! Think I know where you mean, there was a lot of gorund up there that had sludge cake lastyear, remember seeing the stockpiles in the fields along the A420 there. I reckon with a combine like that he must have a good, ooooh 400 acres or so?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im fairly certain the main farm is in Hanney just out on the steventon road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 God I hate those Rolland trailers Can you imagine taking the turn at the bottom of the hill in Wellingtonbridge with a trailer that had a centre of gravity that high? Doesn't bear thinking about. Compare the wasted/unused height of the Rolland with the compactness of this Mixie Toomey. IIRC this baby had 16 tonnes on board, and could have taken another tonne and a half only he had to get into the yard before they closed.

Couldn't agree more with you SPN -lots of other places too that you wouldn't be too happy bringing them Rollands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
