CX820Joe Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Did 40 miles this afternoon/evening and after a slow start saw a nice selection of combine action. Firstly, a Dominator 88 on the road: Then I seemed to go miles without seeing anything, save the odd distant puff of dust, but then I came across this: Apologies for another CX, but some different makes to follow!

CX820Joe Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Next up a Claas Lexion 570 + belonging to contractor John Roberts (previously a staunch NH operator) beyond the field the Claas was in another dust cloud was visible... couple more of the Claas: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Now the culprit of the second dust cloud...not a common sight, so nice to see: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Lastly, when I wasn't far from home, I saw this nice Lexion 430: The Merc engine in this sounded great, especially the surge of power as it started another run, lovely stuff Hope you enjoy the update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Another bike ride (37 miles today) and saw a nice selection. First off a tidy looking NH TX62: then there was this MF 40 that was moving out of the field, but what a lovely way to transport the header: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Moved on to the village where I lived for a few years, and found that the farmer that owned most of the land in the area has upgraded to this: and seems to be favouring New Holland tractors: then saw this lovely old girl on the road: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantaylor Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 ahh joe when i look back on your pics and i looked at the 580 tertrac on the other page i think it may be the same one i got photos of lasy year, its off quite a large estate as i went in the cab with him and i was talking to him for a while. and i must say youve got some cracking photos mate, really proffesional aswell, keep em coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 this IH 531 was working in a field with another which had broken down...there are photos of them on the forum somewhere, not entirely sure if they're in this topic though. the highlight of the day for me though, was getting up close to this Fortschritt E517, though. In all the years its been on the farm that owns it I've never caught it except for at a distance: In charge of the trailers was this 2wd MF 3060 with row crop rears: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 more of the E517, including some scenic shots and one featuring a Chester bound train: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 and lastly for today, this 1984 IH 1460 Axial flow near Nesscliffe: though the last thing I caught with the camera was this MF 6480 with MF round baler: Hope you enjoy the update - I even managed not to sneak any CX's into it!

That was out your way, I thought it was Suckleys 600 until I downloaded the photo and saw it was a 580. By the way, that was working today as well (the 600) in the fields behind Abbots Moor.

BC Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 The 37 mile bike run proved to be very worthwhile Joe some nice catches there. Nice to see the old Dexta being used to move the MF header usually one see them being moved about with huge tractors when a little one would suffice.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Cracking set of photographs Joe, a wonderful variety of machines you've caught working. Great to see two very different International combines in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see two very different International combines in action. Thanks David I was surprised to see that particular Axial Flow, as I had previously taken a photo of it some 12/13 years ago - its on a B plate, and I thought the farm had sold it as the last time I saw that farm in action they were using a D reg 1460 and a newer 2188 - the photos are earlier on in the thread. So now I'm wondering if they still have the D reg one as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I'm wondering if they still have the D reg one as well? Now that would be some line up of Axial Flows to capture if that's the case.....sorry couldn't resist, i'll get my coat. Seriously though I love the sight of the older style Axial Flow combines so it's great to see one still working. There's still a 1600 series machine working around here but i've yet to track it down and there's a couple of 2188 still cutting a fair amount of acres one of which I caught up with last year. But as i've discovered recently most are now being replaced by the new curvey ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
