nashmach Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well have had who drove the combine so now we have what combines did you ever drive? For me it is: Laverda M112 - bit of levers everywhere but still a well capable 10' machine Deutz Fahr 2780 (red) - nice machine to drive - pity her mechanical condition wasn't better - though this year it will be a Deutz 3580 ;D So over to you..........

Tractorman810 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 quite possibly mate, long time ago now, as for te jd, they didnt trade the 625II in when it arrived, they had the fore sence to keep hold of her, so it wasnt a prob, seem to remember my uncle ,who was a jd fitter at the time, doing several visits to do repairs on it over the 3 months or so they had it, hardly a glowing report for a brand new machine when they got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
