He reckoned the CASE 9250 wasn't far behind either with their version of intellicruise and could well believe the CR10-90 outperformed the Lex 780. HOWEVER, he also said he had had the opportunity to drive a pre production Claas 8900 last summer and that once again Claas had succeeded in lifting the performance bar up to a new level. In wheat it had achieved consistent spot rates in excess of 120 tons per hour!!!! Mind you, if it doesn't start raining here soon there wont be much tonnage of anything to harvest around the fens Looking at our wheat, to achieve 80 ton an hour, for a 10 hour cutting day you will cover 226 acres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) People have no idea what we are in the middle of Chris, and I don't care to elaborate or I will be called a bible basher or worse, but lets just say the events over these past few years and increasingly today have convinced me its very real. A worldwide famine is now a certainty. Edited May 20, 2020 by bluegreen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Have been having a major sort out/count up/double check of what models I have over the last day or two. Opened a trade case thinking they were 3 x Britains TW15s (as that is what it said on the case) only to find 3 x Britains JD 3650s! Happy Days!

robbo Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Nearly 3 months since anyone posted in this topic, what a miserable bunch we are 😆 Well, I am pleased today, Cheshire Police have announced that their Police dogs are to be given collar numbers so that they can be protected in law and anyone who injures one can be charged with that offence. One has been given my old collar number, 2011. https://www.cheshire.police.uk/news/cheshire/news/articles/2021/5/police-dogs-presented-with-collar-numbers-and-warrant-cards/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Orlo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 home now after a week away in suffolk, bit of retail therapy at bicester on the way back,and a bonus after a quick google search ,i managed to avoid the traffic at bristol(1hr +delays) going via a route i found at work, ,hate to be heading north mind, have driven back past a good 50 miles of either slow or stationary traffic heading north, i joined again at bridgewater and it was all the way back to cullompton like it, and i had missed 30 odd miles to bristol ,which is also like it . long long drive home for some today . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you on that one ,most of the people around here have them on there chin or on top of there head ,and as for the visors cant see the point in them because if a mask is to stop things going in or out whats stopping things coming in or out from around the sides ,visors are mainly used to protect your eyes from objects or splashes of liquid if mixing something up not the air born stuff or am i missing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
