Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 thanks. Just to give you an impression of the region we are talking about: the successful spots are marked red in this map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 continuing on the main road, just a few miles away: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 having seen something indefinate a mile or so North of the main road, struggled through a labyrinth of village streets and maize field until finding this one: I was a liitle bit dissappointed that it was just this well known towed Grimme harvester, but there was some other interesting mashinery around ...

Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 finally back on the main road: passing one of the many small sugar factories of the region, situated in the middle of the countryside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 just a few miles away from the last scene, on the headland of a spinach field: John Deere perpared for transporting some irrigation equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 And also this PLOEGER spinach harvester on tracks, unfortunately not really active but looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 one more time a dream came true: two or three miles I found this great looking New Holland with DeWulf harvesting system and although I had almost no time any more due to a fixed date, I spent half an hour on this field ... For me it is a miracle how the outer dual main wheels can contribute to bear the wight of the tractor when just fixed to the inner wheels by very tiny looking tubes.

Deere-est Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I just love that old John Deere As for the Ploeger, I never even knew you could get these on tracks. I guess it pivots in the middle? Must be a very expensive piece of machinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In new one version with tracks on one of the sections, but this version with tracks on both section was also a surprise for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 this last featured sugar beet allowed for a wide view over the surrounding area, where something blue clould be seen on a field in the distance. It turned out to be this one. Does anyone know the exact designation of this modell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 of course even one of the most interesting farming regions for me has been infiltrated by this omnipresent pest plant "maize", already covering half of Europe. if they would use it for grain maize at least ... Nevertheless, this scene was happening execatly when almost passing my on the motorway, so a one-minute stop on the verges resulted in the following: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 shall I continue posting at all? There some more 100 pictures waiting, but I can see that pictures in this topic and my two "sister-topics" receive just 1 to maximum 7 views in average? Are the implements not interesting enough? Not old enough? Not big enough? Unknown in the UK and therefore not relevant? Or too common and usual? or is it that this forum is mostly dedicated to modell farming and therefore live farming pictures naturally receive lower attention? Or must I use photobucket (but how to use this tool, what is this at all, how does it work ...). Any feedback welcome! Well I am not annoyed if nobody looks at my pics but of course it makes no sense to keep on posting for a handful of always the same people (my personal "fan club" ;-))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
