Well, what's the verdict overall!View attachment 80875
In all the excitement yesterday evening this is the only picture I took.
It's big . I've had to widen every gate and gap it'll be going through. There's a lot more watching on a 16ft header when your used to a 10ft cut. After that it's a lovely machine to operate and the ac cab is some improvement over the dust fill oven the 520 has. Huge grain tank and uploads much quicker then the 520. I only cut 10 acres yesterday evening to fill the trailers and I left it so after that. I'll have a better idea on her after a few days work.Well, what's the verdict overall!
Great to see you going with it best of luck. I am similar here busy watching the 10 ft cut and thats at a very slow pace to give it time to trash it, i have no idea how lads can watch a 22 or 25 ft header especially in stuff thats lodged or half the header width lodged and the rest standing. They must have more eyes than me.It's big . I've had to widen every gate and gap it'll be going through. There's a lot more watching on a 16ft header when your used to a 10ft cut.

Had a electrician out today. Found a broken wire and 2 bad connections. Shaker monitor is now working, and the monitor for the walkers works if powered at the back, but the pads are not sending any power through. Thinking of using as is this season, are the walker sensors important? Is it likely that both pads have failed? Is it possible that they only work when the thresher is up to speed?Are there sensitivity setting adjusters on the control panel?
Meant to say, there are settings on the pads and the monitor.Are there sensitivity setting adjusters on the control panel?
Think our neighbour has a NH like that, it’s not much longer than it’s wide.I spoke to a man earlier running a 35ft cut, imagine being in command of that!! :woot:
I baled after his last combine a few years ago, think it was 30ft. I hardly went 2 or 3 lengths of the tractor and baler to make a 4x4.That’s the man
Ah, that might be his last combine! It was drafted back from the dealers last year to cover a breakdown, then kept for the rest of the season as far as I know. Serious acreage there to get through.The 35ft has a 25ft to keep it company too!
Only combine I ever drove before my own was a 22 foot 9660 and a 25 foot t660 so I find my 15 foot very easy to watchI spoke to a man earlier running a 35ft cut, imagine being in command of that!! :woot:
I did a few hours with a 12m header, all I did was hit the autosteer button and look interested.....I guess I got lucky. That is the only combine I have ever driven and ever will eitherI spoke to a man earlier running a 35ft cut, imagine being in command of that!! :woot:
All dandy the day cutting but I wouldn't want to have fields of straw down in this weather afterwards. Mine is 18 ft and plenty big regarding straw. My last combine was 14 ft and straw dried out on it's own but even going to 18 ft created savage work twisting and turning strawI spoke to a man earlier running a 35ft cut, imagine being in command of that!! :woot:

Turn on the chopper - that would get a few people excited!!!All dandy the day cutting but I wouldn't want to have fields of straw down in this weather afterwards.

The 35ft has a 25ft to keep it company too!
I don’t know tbhIs the 25ft short term hired?
True enough about the straw but in a broken harvest the grain is the most important part of the crop and straw will eventually be got. I have 20 acres behind my Hse down in 25 ft swarths and its not nice seeing it getting all this rain but it will be tedding out once and left and then raked back up when dry. I know if I had a smaller capacity combine I would have crops standing with a lot of heads on the ground. Horses for courses and all that.All dandy the day cutting but I wouldn't want to have fields of straw down in this weather afterwards. Mine is 18 ft and plenty big regarding straw.

Worst swaths i seen when wet are gleaner. D straw comes out of those at d side on d back their a bastard of a swath to try baleAll dandy the day cutting but I wouldn't want to have fields of straw down in this weather afterwards.

And like that the tx made her first outing, thanks everyone here that helped along the way. I only joined this forum to get info on this combine

I find myself having a new found interest in older new holland combines, prowling done deal at least once a week looking at tx 62’s 63’s and 64’s then I haven’t even my own barley cut yet :rolleyes2: there’s a tx36 on done deal at the moment in meath and I’m memorisedHave you traded it in already!!! good to hear it went well.
Almost like a photo from an MF brochure!
