I was watching a 780tt at work last harvest run by the Wright family in the fens near Cambridge, they bought it new in 2013 when the 780 first was launched, its done 9 years and handles around 3000 acres over a wide area. Obviously a very reliable combine. Given the sh1t the worlds about to...

I heard they are merging into a new company called Ben Double :LOL:

Its still nature green introduced in 2017 as far as im aware........................that new Valtra Olive Green is nice though.

Olly is trying to double crop barley for a third season using his 8700 Lexion and rather smart 960TT Tractor

At a 25k discount to the Fendt I reckon that Valtra is no brainer!! The Fendt 700 looks a bit dated now, no real changes appearance wise since 2011 apart from nicer shade of green paint job and snazzy bonnet decals. It could do with the family updated look of the stunning new 900 series! Did...

I was drooling over that blue Valtra in TNS yard, so much nicer looking than the Gen6 Fendt 724 parked next to it :finger: ..................I must admit I didnt think Black rims would suit a blue tractor, but after seeing that machine ive been converted:LOL:....................Lots of Grey and...

And to think that vehicle had only just sailed through its MOT :ROFLMAO:

And no sooner than JD announce the lightweight medium frame 6R. 185 to compete with MFs 2 year old 7719, than the red boys come out with a new flagship 7S .210 and once more up the ante! 210hp plus boost..................mind you this introduction does make the 8S. 205 look a bit redundant, I...

I watched the video for the new tractors and the Deere sales person is making out as if they are pioneers for fitting a 185hp engine into a medium framed tractor! They arent, theyre late, Claas, MF CNH, Fendt have all had 155R sized machines pushing out around 180hp rated power for 5 or more...

The latest ones look rather good, The lads at Grassmen had one recently and lent it out to quite a few farms, all gave positive responses. There were a pair of black 7624 (240hp) working on the maize harvest locally, seemed to be going well and quite a compact size too when sat next to a JD 6215R.

Thankyou Robt and Slim in the peanut gallery :LOL: Familiarity is the name of the game.............I call it Ford Sierra syndrome. When that curvy shaped car came out and replaced the old square looking Cortina I was outraged!! It looked alien and horrible to me, and Im still the...

Trucks are boring too watch though KP, maize harvesting with loads of tractors and trailers is easily the most entertaining agricultural spectacle on the farming calender. It must also be said that fen roads are very bumpy which can catch out even careful drivers. Pretorias use the most...

That trailer is not a RL, looks like one of the Smyths, mind you I have seen a fair few of Pretorias in ditches over the last few years. The Black McMac 7624 is actually very nice, there was a pair working with O J Neils operation contracting to G Shropshires crew which included the new Massey...

Its been good to have the irish rigs over here in the fens this year, lots of different colour trailers on the maize haul:).........no accidents in any of my pics below though. Kane, Herron, Broughan, Smyth, Redrock plus the usual Baileys, RW and RL trailers of Pretoria Energy covered in...

I cant remember the last time a specific high hp machine sold as quickly as these 8RX Deeres!! In my part of the fens everyone has already got one, with some now getting two. I feel sorry for the competition who all have great tractors available in the RXs power range but seemingly are being...
