Combine in the Corn! - NH Clayson 8030.

At last! I have seen a combine working and it wasn't raining or windy or anything. Mind you, I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't had a phone call from a VERY kind farmer who told me they were combining. So I skipped some whole crop I was keeping an eye on (they were waiting for something) and hopped over to the action. Higher up, better views as well. Before I left there was a big square baler, too. Produced in Carmarthenshire, Wales.

Some good looking views you have there! That's a tidy combine,plenty big enough for your narrow lanes!

[@balmesh]

I remember those helmets. The combines I drove didn't have cabs and combining barley into the wind was a nightmare!

[@stro1962]

Congratulations Alan with your first oen.
Nice looking clayson.
Had the same weather here too.
Grain season is almost done here.

Dead right there's not. Thanks for comment.

[@TractorVids]

Great video mate, not a lot of arable in Camathenshire from what I have seen when I have been down there.
Great to see a classic combine working aswell!

[@balmesh]

Thanks Mike - you should have some too up there in N.Wales.

Great vid Alan, very nice tractor, nice old nh tractor

[@StaticZoneify]

That view is killer.

[@balmesh]

Thank you.

[@Nwmike97]

5*, Alan. Great combine and great views!

[@itlldoktm]

I'll bet the contractor baling wished he was getting paid per row with a header that small! Those were the days, that must have been one of the first combines with a cab. My brother in law had an old Laverda with 17 ft header, and the guy driving it used to wear a battery powered helmet/mask for the dust!

[@balmesh]

Thanks Jordan. There's a rather nice Case later on . . .

[@twiggie94]

great vid

[@balmesh]

Can't answer that. What equipment? What area? For what purpose?

[@balmesh]

Yes. It's only in America that they call Maize "corn". Elsewhere it's called maize and "corn" is kept for cereal plants such as wheat and barley.

[@balmesh]

Yes, quite likely, as it was a contractor's machine. But they had some bales to remove later . . . .

[@stro1962]

Those Clayson's are very common over here.
And of cours the dominator,plenty of them about.

[@balmesh]

Yes, it's funny but both you and Rakerman have recently uploaded similar combine models. Must be the year for old NHs to emerge!

[@balmesh]

No problem - my laptop is a shocking speller. Have to keep going back to put it right!

[@balmesh]

Ah, got you. I thought it was spelled chute, that's why I thought you meant my film-shooting!

[@jjjjjtttttkkkkk]

Great vid farmer owned?

[@balmesh]

Agreed!

[@AdamM83pl]

What brand of equipment is the most popular in your area?

[@balmesh]

I must have been getting tired!

[@fagerfort3642]

Fajny rower

[@balmesh]

Yes.

[@Nwmike97]

Yep...but to get the views it quite often involves me biking up a massive hill!

[@MikeyStokes69]

There must not be too much corn your area!

[@take4jazz]

is this corn??

[@balmesh]

Combine contractor - rest is farmer-owned.

[@balmesh]

Only when there's no option, or they suggest that I should. Not my land, you see, and it's not good to presume too much . "Who does he think he is? Does he think he owns the land?"

[@michael2kay11]

ha my bad spelling sorry!

[@murtazaalikhn931]

do you have new holland combine harvester ?
if yes please reply

[@balmesh]

No.

[@Nwmike97]

I thought you would just use the car? :)

[@balmesh]

Big enough.

[@michael2kay11]

i mean the shoot on the combine

[@balmesh]

Dead right on both counts!

[@redhillfarmuk]

good combine but the tin looks like could with some TLC

[@michael2kay11]

good vid shoot looks very low

[@balmesh]

Too right there's not - not for grain, anyway.

[@balmesh]

No, you walk like I have to (sometimes).
