nashmach Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Just the one picture of the combine that my Dad is driving for a friend this year - it is a 1985 Deutz Fahr 2780. Its so good that is for sale this week if he gets enough for it . Thankfully since Saturdy night it hasn't stopped but every day before that we were stopped for at least 3 hours with dirty diesel, drum belt, a big V belt, a housing and a diesel lift pump . On Thursday night we had to go at 11pm to get spares for her. Overall though she is a nice drive if she stayed going and is well capable of cutting 6t of barley an hour. Nice visibility of the head too compared to a Laverda 152 i was up on during the weekend (sorry Scott) more pics of her to follow as I think they will be finished cutting before I go home again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Shame on you Just hang over the front of the laverda and you can see everything but i bet it had a cab \ The deutz's are a decent combine, a neighbour swears by them He's on his fifth i think and not due to breaking them they just get bigger They used to make the biggest one in europe if i remember correctly untill the likes of Claas's lexion came about with monsterouse header sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yes the Laverda 152 had a cab - some pics whenI download them from my phone I think the Deutz you are referring to Scott is the 8XL with 8 straw walkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Update for the 2008 season - my friend has just brought home his latest immaculate purchase a 14ft cut 1988 Deutz Fahr 3580 with only 2000 hours on the clock Should go like a rocket compared to the 2780 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Green Luke - the 3000 series were all green some of the 2000's were green also but only for a year I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
