CX820Joe Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I suppose these could go into various other threads but thought I'd put them all in one of my own, if thats OK. Firstly, this derelict looking Clayson I spotted in a barn on an apparently abandoned farm: Then seen later the same day (last Saturday) was this New Holland and Grass Harrow: Now to todays sighting; there are plenty of cut fields but very little about; I did see a Claas green Valtra with a forage wagon coming out of a field but was on a busy road so couldn't take a snap. But luck changed when I took a back lane from Welshampton to Ellesmere and was met by a TM155 with a trailer full of silage...a little further on, I found the Forager. First some 'scenic' photos: More to follow...
CX820Joe Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Now some close ups of the Jaguar 900 Green Eye One of the TM's on collecting duty: Hope you like. There's a Fiatagri carting silage through Ellesmere too, so I'll pop and see if I can find out where its collecting from. If it doesn't p!ss down!
nashmach Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Poor old Clayson M 135 and with cab too - shame to see her there
NewHolland2 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Excellent pics Joe......Is that an old TW or 10 Series Ford I see with the silage trailer there too......
CX820Joe Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Excellent pics Joe......Is that an old TW or 10 Series Ford I see with the silage trailer there too...... Mart - I'm fairly sure its a 7910 - it was an odd shaped field and the spot I picked was quite a way from the gate, where the tractors had to go through another field to get to this one so didn't see it properly sorry. Regarding the F115 - I think it may have finished now, although the thunderstorm we just had may have been a factor - so therefore I didn't go to investigate - you can see why from this:
Deere-est Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Nice to see an old girl doing herself proud in a fleet of newer floozies I like ths custom additive barrels, look better than old plastic drums!! Nice shots Joe
CX820Joe Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 It was definitely a 7910 - its just gone through Ellesmere!
hody21 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Superb pics mate, you live close to where I work (Wem Motors). On my lunch hour I often go for a drive around that area for a nose to see what I can find. Some of the lanes are stupidly thin and narrow though.

Though the lane I went down where the 900 was working was extremely quiet, didn't see a single car! Went through Wem yesterday evening - headed up to Whixall for a walk along the canal/moss. Had much better weather though!

It has a reputation of people getting lost for hours, me included.

I took a map! It was a bit of a maze though. Was OK as soon as I found the lifting canal bridge by Furbers scrapyard. Must just add - have seen the 900 going back through Ellesmere, and just a moment ago a stunning looking TW-35 with Buck Rake!
rabh7840 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 nice pics the boy in the 7910 could do with going faster in the corner
NewHolland2 Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 It was definitely a 7910 - its just gone through Ellesmere! Cheers Joe......Nice old girl......Bet she was smoking......
BERRY Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 nice pics the boy in the 7910 could do with going faster in the corner i think that the spout is just angled at that in the pics
CX820Joe Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Not seen any combines in this part of the world, not working anyway, but did see this working near Ellesmere about half an hour ago, for all you green fans: There were four Tractors carting, three JD's (a 6630, 6520 and 6320 w/Quicke loader) and also this Ford 7840: Filling the 7840's trailer: Despite the 4 trailers, the forager was spending considerable periods waiting for empty ones, it was sat for about 15 minutes at one stage till they returned. I think that was why they were strengthened by this MF 7475: Sorry its not the best photo; I'd put the camera away when it arrived, and hurriedly switched it on again when it showed up, but like the rest of the tractors it took off down the field so was tricky; light wasn't wonderful either, but hope you like the pics all the same
Deere-est Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Give me the 78 any day!! Nice pics Joe, the trailers look a fair size. I'm yet to see a JD forager working, newer than a 6850!! It's all Claas down here with a NH and a Krone thrown in for good measure.
NewHolland2 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Nice wee selection of pics there Joe......Nothing like bringing in a Massey to keep things going...... Good to see they're keeping the 78 in there with all the green and yellow......

It's all Claas down here with a NH and a Krone thrown in for good measure. Claas most common around here too, I think the same guy had an older JD previously, though I think it might have been the larger 7400. Would love to see a Big X in action though.

CX820Joe Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Further to above - an NH TS115 has replenished the JD's additive tanks, whilst an MF 6465 has joined the carting!
