Our neighbour used to take a day to cut the ten acre field across the road in his New Holland Clayson, his nephew only takes a few hours to do it in his Deutz Fahr nowadays. Good to see the classics still at work
@rmarkv I take it you don't smoke?? but there is a bigger chance that a machinhe would set it alite rather than a man smoking and more often a new machine .....
@rakerman Dont smoke correct, but why take the risk of it going up, besides with all the chaff that could be on a machine may burn that out as well if the butt end is hap hazzardly disposed off. I very well understand the potential hazzards of a machine setting field on fire, hence i always spec our combines with air compressor so machine can be blown down throughout the season.
Great. Side wind is what you need with no cab, especially in Barley. Loved the bit where the old one blots out the new! Neat bit of filming, that. Well done that man who kept on the old kit!
Itchy job without a cab :-). Great video, its funny to see the modern machine in with the classics, its almost like a movie error when it first appears.
Awesome 5/5.

The original Clayson-factory is about 7km's away from where I live. It is now owned by the CNH-company, and they still make combines there...

Just what every farm needs a combine driver who could set the field alight.
