Tractorman810 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 i would guess so, that way the training is relivant to the jd for instants otherwise they could all vary big time and as shuch not be any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 On the end was a 6930 I think from memory. It was training on the more basic higer HP tractors in the market. Thanks guys, more soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sold nearly 6 Self Proppelled sprayers and only planned to sell about 2 or 3 the first year so they muct be good? The deere truck in the pics are run by a haulage company called Proctors based at Langar. There are about 5 or 6 trucks decalled up as deere ones. The parts trucks are another local transport company in nottingham and they are decalled up as parts express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 A few updtates from today: I went out combining today with CTS boy but didn't get any decent pics. Then HOWEVER my friend and colleague from work was bringing out the 9530T to demo to them. It had a 6m Quvoigne TineMaster running at 14" and to be honest it didn't know it was there. Behind that was a 6.6 m double simba press. We weren't using autotrac to star with then we did after the guy was happy. It was amazing when we took a mark off one side he was working the transfered that to the other side and you could see how far out he had been working. Here are the pics and a little video.

Deere-est Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'll skip by the joke about you having the runs. .. 15? Well that ain't half bad mate. ... That's bloody good for a company not re known for their crawlers in the way the Challengers and Quadtracs are. No derogatory comment intended by the way.

None taken as usual mate,l yeah they have gone really well, i personally think the fact that they all come autotrac ready and the big ones come with it as standard ready to roll helps................ Gotta run [ ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I managed to get out of the office yesterday and got chance to go to the John Deere Tour 23 Roadshow in Boston Lincs. Reasonable day with no rain but in some dusty old wheat. The combines that were running were: One S690i with a Zurn Premium Flow Platform 30ft One C670i with a John Deere Platform 25ft And finally a T670i with a normal John Deere Platform Personally i had a fantastic day and got some time to see them workign and have a looka t the results and what was left behind in the straw. The wheat was falling out the ears before the combines came through so this didn't help. We made a row of straw with the T670i and the straw was amazing out the back, you could still pick up a piece of corn with the ear attached and the straw didn't even have a bend on it or break from where it was cut at ground level.
