That makes you not far from me as they’re next doorNot far from us that farm
I'd take last year's weather and this year's yields. That would make for a really nice harvest!Agreed, wonder if I will ever see one as good again

Thought you must not be far away but couldn’t quite put my finger on it! I’m on the right before you go over the bridge if your heading up to Cook’s yard at Redbarn.I work for Quantil in Lathom. We go up that way to Cook’s for grain. That straw looks as wet as the stuff we’ve got lying in the swath ☹
Surely it’s impossible to give area a machine can cover as it will be totally yield dependan?I find it interesting that Claas do not say in their recent combine adverts ,that such and such a model of combine is capable of combining "x" amount of ha's per season. I did have a bit of a strong Email back from Claas a few years ago when I said they were getting close to breaching trading standards when they said that one of their combine models was capable of combining a large amount of ha's, (ok, in a good weather season) but NOT a 2012/2019 season)

I use to frequent Quantil’s yard when they ran Deere’s and I was at the dealers, been a few years now but still come past quite often on parts runs.

A machine that could cut a 1000ac a year in a 2.5t crop could only do 500ac in a 5t crop. So the only thing you could state as been a consistent for output is tph?
If potential customers of such high value machines are sucked in by Claas adverts, without using their own research ,I am inclined to say good luck to Claas.Machinery brands never sell ploughs or drills based on "up to 1000ac farm"....."up to 2000ac farm"....."2000ac farm and above"....etc.
Maybe it's just that they don't quite cost the same as a house so the marketing department need to come up with some optimistic calculations which justify the continually increasing price tag.
snap, only bright side is should get caught up with the drier as lorries coming monday and possibly catch crops sownDry all night.
Just started raining again.

I heard a story a few years ago about a farmer wanting to buy a either a new Claas or NH Combine. He bought the Claas because it was cheaper. But the reason it was cheaper was that Claas persuaded him that he didn’t need as big a Combine as NH did.I’ve always said there isn’t, and still isn’t a combine that can cut 2000ac per year in every conceivable weather pattern. Even this new 800hp thing can’t cut when it’s wet and has the same output as a plot combine.
