JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Start off with one that definitely wasn't going to make it this year (somewhere on a minor road south of Malton - don't know what or when) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Remember the good weather last week ? I caught this NH CX at about 9:30pm just packing up (on my way home form Anglesey) The friendly chap with his NH T7040 said they were about 17% moisture, which must be relatively good considering the weather. I haven't had much success with night-time shots (yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 On the Friday afternoon i took a liesurely drive home from work to see what was about...this MF7245 was a bit far away and I missed getting it's MF6475 tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 A Case combining over the road was hidden behind a huge hedge and the next couple of fields were getting baled but too far away, but at least on the opposite side of the road some ploughing was worth watching (JD6620) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Then there was a NH CX820 hard at work, which took a bit of a walk from a suitable place to park the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 and another shot....then the last find that day was another big NH which had just finished a field (right next to the Westwood, which the locals will know) but this one is unusual as it is the first time I've seen a Deutz in this area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Last Saturday I scived off for an hour ( a detour on the way home from Morrisons !) to see what was about....a Lexion and couple of tractors would have made brilliant shots if I could have stopped the car in traffic, but this Dominator was next...

JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 got a nice friendly wave from the driver as he left the field... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 But the driver of this Class Dominator wasn't quite so happy and pulled over to have a word when i got into position... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 in the next 2 fields were a NH TX66 and CR960 (both been on these pages before) but I culdn't get any decent angles on them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Finally this JD and MF baler was working away at very high speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Great photos John, especially the CX820 What was the matter with the Dominator driver, did you not get his best side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 nice collection of pics!!! if we have a few dry weeks they may finish off the fields here! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Thanks for the nice comments. Not up to the standard of last years though ! I reckon that in that last fine week they must have done a major chunk of the total harvest round here. I counted up the fields on the way to work on Monday morning and approx 25% still need to be harvested...and none of them had been done by Friday, and unlikely to be for another week yet after the rain we've had/still having !

JohnP Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Drivers have stopped an asked what I've been up to before, suspicious that I maybe from the Council or Green activist or whatever, but are usually only too happy to chat and explain a bit of what they are doing when they find out I'm genuinely interested. This chap was just plain Grumpy (hope he's not a FTF-er !). Not a lot of change around here when I got back late today but a couple of local combines were working. I have some nice ones to put up from last year still (after a trip to the Lake District for the w/e) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 nice pics - I love the MF combine combined with MF tractor and NH combine combined with NH tractor - that's the way it should be: one field, one farmer, one colour!
