[QUOTE="old vin ag, post: 972024, member: 5425"] Well El arado I have to say I think you could be mistaken that a Fisher Humphires 24ft was ever on the drawing board, or could have been actually been built. I realise that it was claimed that the F H Victory combine was the largest combine in the world as was stated in marketing publications during the early years of manufacture in the late 60's and early 1970's,but working at the only factory making Fisher Humpries combines at Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire.your DREAM I afraid was not something I ever heard about. We only made a folding header in two sizes of 14ft and 18ft.To fold up header halves of 12ft would have required big changes, making machine overall height of around 14ft or even 15ft and to counter balance the extra header weight would have needed a lot more than just filling the rear axle with concrete as we did already. If you have some more information I'll be very pleased to read about it. [/QUOTE]
