Combine in a box, great effort on their part, but hardly a new idea, my Grandad once told me how they assembled a lease lend combine that arrived in a large wooden box during the 2nd world war

Probably JMT engineering put it in the container.

its more usual to transport combines in a open type /flatrack container . ive seen new hollands loaded and shipped like that from rotterdam to australia and new zealand like that .

When we started exporting MF combines to South Africa ( more about this in the MF pictures thread), we sent the rump of the machine as a running unit, and used to strip four headers down and slide them into a 20ft container on a wooden framework (two on top of two) along with all the augers, elevators etc stripped from the combine. This created problems for reassembling when the combines and containers got separated at their destination. We later had wooden crates made for each header out of 2x2 timber and plywood. Apparently the timber from the crates were reused for contructing housing, so had a secondary life.

We sold it because we thought it was worn out he will have neighbours was going to say drive but probably walk miles to see it work. Ten years from now (maybe less) where do you think they will want to sell all there grain. Watch the Pakistani welding man on YouTube amazing what they will fix

We had a combine in a box delivered here during the war. My father always told the story that a disassembled Massey Harris combine was delivered from Canada, arrived at the little local station and the box was unloaded onto the platform. It was assembled on the platform over a week or so, much to the annoyance of the station master, and eventually driven off the platform and away. We don't have the combine, but we do still have sections of the box, incorporated into a building!

I cant believe they didn't shut the road!!!!!!!!!

I know old new hollands used to be exported in containers to Syria, before the conflict.
Hats off to them.

We sold our old New Holland 1550 to Robert Coles in Shaftesbury, he said that it would be containerised and exported to Pakistan, so this is what happens at the other end!

My neighbours old NH 8070 I'm told went to Syria.
