Got my wheat harvested and put away earlier this week, using the Claas Senator / JD3050 / Tye Trailer / Bryce Baker combo:

It was nearly a photo of a classic not earning its keep, as one of the tyres got a puncture when the combine was sitting about 3 foot from the edge of the field just before I started cutting. Having fixed that, the bottom hose sprang a leak as well, so I was not in a good mood. Luckily I had a good friend with me who has loads of experience of fixing punctures in big tyres and my landlord was on hand to help with the leaky hose, so all was well, albeit two days later than anticipated...

Going on an earlier thread, some of the worst sounding, noisiest tractors there! Good to see so many people turn out!

It was as much as she wanted behind her, and didn't come out of low range loaded.
