britainsnut Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Had a great day today as the sun came out i saw the pair of nh combines that i photo'd last week so stopped for more pics and a chat and got to spend a couple of hours in the cab of the cx8060 ;D of which i was expecting the cab to have more kit in it really as it looked quite sparce. Also i expected the driver to have been a lot busier making constant adjustments and the like but instead it was more a case of drop the head at one end and lift it at the other. Anyway enjoy the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway enjoy the pics What did you think us combine drivers do lots of work \ They look flat fields to me and the combine you were on has sensors on the header to controll highth so basically all you do is what you said. Now go with them when the crop os flat and see what they have to do Bet you wouldn't like the words that would come out of his mouth ;D Modern combines have come a long way in a short time the less a driver has to do the more productive he is Oh and i bet he was monitoring more things than you might of thought all at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Great photos, love those CX's the more I see them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 oh and what is that blue looking stuff in the sky dont get much of that round here most combines are still in the sheds locally all exept the ones who are getting 25%+ moisture levels Now that is going to be one expensive drying bill at the end and it all eats away at the minute profits :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 As Scott says cutting is much more difficult than you think - watching for lumps going into the elevator keep the header low but still not let clay up on it - watch the grian loss monitor - watch for any smoke in the mirrors, watch out for badly parked trailers, ring tractor drivers and find out where they are, complain, talk to who ever is up there, worry about the next black cloud on the horizon....will I go on :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
