JohnP Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 On a circuitous way back from work this lunchtime, I had camera at the ready in the sunshine. After a few failed attempts, I came across this beastie charging across a field of straw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 After a while it stopped to let a chap out from "Big balers" (according to his Polo shirt), who told me that this is the first one of it's type in the country and is on demo. he said it was doing 20kph but it was more like 20mph ! He gave me a brochure which I'll scan in later (when I clear my desk of junk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 By comparison I also found this Fastrack which was totally wasted on this older MF baler, crawling along very slowly (I really messed up several shots of this at the top of the field !)

SIMON. Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Nice baler shame they can't find a massey man enough to drive it so they had to put some real horse power on the front :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 mmm uh class convos me thinks :D Would the shape of the Claas be the same as the MF? I'd have one in red if it looked the part......who's gonna try it first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Nice pics john. Were abouts was these taken. between Little Weighton and High Hunsley (near Beverley in East Yorshire, to those of you who don't know God's Country !) After posting these I wondered if it was a rebadged Case or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromittigger Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 between Little Weighton and High Hunsley (near Beverley in East Yorshire, to those of you who don't know God's Country !) After posting these I wondered if it was a rebadged Case or something. It is a new MF but they are the Heston - thers only one over here sold. There are few changes just new guards and a few mods which were neaded to improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
