Richard de Florennes Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 leaving a wet and cool (but, of course, nevertheless beautyful England) we arrived back in Germany 10 days ago, where we found sun and high temperatures again and had almost totally missed the harvest of winter barley ... Just one mile after passing the Dutch-German border tremendous action began with harvesting rape (here a CLAAS Dominator 66): Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 1 mile ahead, the last fields of winter barley were relieved from their loads by this CASE IH combine: Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 Meanwhile, on the neighbours field a CLAAS Lexion 540: Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 Continuing our way home, we saw this CLAAS Medion fighting its way through rape: Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 MF tractors are also well known in Germany: Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 Finally this FENDT Tractor with a CLAAS Quadrant square baler was found operating right in front of our home village - more nice pics of this great baler to follow in due course (tomorrow or so) - good night! Quote
NewHolland2 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Nice pictures........Is the Medion combine part of Claas's current range? Quote

nashmach Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Medion's are still available as far as I know Nice Dominator there - that Case is actually a rebadged NH TX Quote
FB Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Mart, Medion was produced in 2000, Medion 310, 320 & 340 and a 330 in 2001 (not sure why that way?) Quote
batcher Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Lovely pics almost reminds me of summer (last year) Any chance you could come back to england and bring that sunshine with you Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 Continuing with the big baler ... Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 Two more, as this sight makes me lucky (that's it for today - good night ...): Quote
NIGEL FORD Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Medion's are still available as far as I know Nice Dominator there - that Case is actually a rebadged NH TX Is it really? Cab change for JOAL to update theirs then? Quote
nashmach Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Is it really? Cab change for JOAL to update theirs then? I think it was mainly the bigger ones TX66 and TX 68 that were done in that colour scheme - really to replace the 525/527 that were made in Germany Quote
NewHolland2 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Mart, Medion was produced in 2000, Medion 310, 320 & 340 and a 330 in 2001 (not sure why that way?) Cheers Ben........ Medion's are still available as far as I know Nice Dominator there - that Case is actually a rebadged NH TX Hence why I think they look so good........ Quote

Richard de Florennes Posted July 24, 2007 Author Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks for the vague feedback ... Anyway, here is pic of a nowadays rare Schl?ter tractor seen on July 14th (the day all other pictures in this topic with exception of the previous two were made). More, including a John Deere Combine, to follow tomorrow or so ... Quote

FB Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Great pics again Rdf. Any more of your trip??? \, relying on you to bring us pics of harvest why we are getting out of the wet season ;D Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 25, 2007 Author Posted July 25, 2007 Two Ploeger Bean Harvesters cought in action tonight on our region's fields: Quote
FB Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 nice pics again....you gotta stop posting, getting to many to look at :D Seems you have a lot of action out there!!!!, not seeing much near me so far :( :'( Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted July 26, 2007 Author Posted July 26, 2007 Yeah, I am a lucky bastard regarding farming action here in the "Lower Rhine" (Niederrhein) region: Within a range of some 10 miles from home I can find the following agricultural topics well represented: - Diary farming (pastures, hay) - becoming more and more reduced from year to year - Full field farming only with: aspargus, barley, beans, carrots, chives, lettuces, maize (silage and corn), oat, onions, parsley, peas, potatos, rape, rye, sugar beet, wheat, tulips (and I am sure I forgot something) - Machine range from old to new, from small to large However, "hopefully" my dedication to this forum will be reduced within a few days, as I got in serious (positive) contact with a farmer in our region (thanks to taking pictures). He already gave me a rough introduction and the chance for a test ride on his John Deere 6920 and I might begin grubbing his stubble fields tomorrow, weather permitting. You all will understand that I must take this chance, even if this means less time for this forum und modell farming in general ;-) Quote
