Poxy awkward size, one trailer load would be enough.
I don’t like those back doors , they limit the uses , can’t draw anything that would stick in the door , like timber , tree stumps , or bushes .

We have a demo combine and after a month of scorching sun it brings the rain.
With current tensions building abroad we thought it best to tick the option just for security reasons

Is that what we would know as a TX or old 8000 series?

Closer to the old 8000 series than TX. Based on the TC range which is probably New Holland's top selling model worldwide. We had a TC 5070 which was a good, cheap to run, easy to maintain combine. I don' think the 5.30 is available in the UK. Looks like a specially made model for other parts of the world.

Think it was the first week of April.. originally for September delivery.. that became December.. January then eventually this week...various reasons covid, silicon chips and the touch screen system......big sigh of relief as on April 1st new CO2 emission rules kick in and I would have had to pay an extra $3500 to the government..close call !!!!!3rd March 2021. Slight wait

If combines like this were available in the UK they would sell well to those buying a for a small acreage, rather than buying used all singing normal UK types, as i suspect they would be a similar price.
Yeah September was the original date. Its came with a rubbish seat in it though they can't get grammar seats yet which it was ordered with but have been told merlo will be replacing it when they get 1

It's an Indian made machine very close to a 8050/8060 i'd say . Very basic in fact it reminds me very much of the 1530/1540s we had in the 70's. My son who worked for Class eastern this summer is very upset as it has no tracks no convio-flex or grain camera and he's never seen a combine with a clutch and gears. We might grow anything up to 5-600 acres of wheat this year and I don't like contractors and we will only be doing 40-50 acres a month so I think it will make sense. It's £45000. You can get a Belgium made TC5-70 but it's a least double the price but if we don't like this we can have a look at it.

He wouldn't take it off the lorry he was so upset. I think its indicative of how things have changed when I was his age combines were a bit bigger and now had cabs but were intrinsically the same as the first combines now they aren't
