What good and what's bad ....got the chance of one just to do a few acres where we can't get to with a big combine .
Has a cab ....I need one with my lung diseasePros:
No laptop required to fix is a big bonus
you can post in the classics earning their keep thread
cab or cab less ?
parts availability would be a concern (if not availability - (how quick)) Although Manners do say they have a couple of 15 series they are braking on their website
.....also it's a bit of a novelty .....which deep down is the real reason !Has a cab ....I need one with my lung disease ☹
It will do very little work approx 20 acres a yr . Contractor got new combine and now can't get down to farm . He can get to the rest easily ......

Was that combine from the Scottish Borders ? that cab is like one from up hereI ran one for cutting 120 acres annually for 7 years and loved it. A bit slow, 10 acres is a good day! But lovely clean sample and very reliable. All the serviceable bits are still available though New Holland and obscure parts from breakers. Greasing and servicing was a dirty itchy job and I also fitted air con using only having one lung as an excuse!
If you’re only cutting 20 acres and it’s a good one you will love it. View attachment 976801
It was supplied new to a farm near Yeovil, Somerset, then registered in 1980 with the plate EEL1V! They sold it to a friend under the Quantock hills near Taunton who kept it until 2011. I bought it and ran it for seven seasons. It’s now back in Somerset on the levels still going. I think it’s only averaged 60 acres a year from new.Was that combine from the Scottish Borders ? that cab is like one from up here
