I'm guessing that this was a recent event. The thing I see is every one is dressed for cold weather, here the temp has been a toasty 90 F to 100 F.! All the past 7 weeks. I see the old IHC baler is doing what they do best, knotter misses. We always just rode on the twine box and tied them as it misses, the heck with walking.
To be fair, those vintage combines are bound to struggle with todays high yeilding barley crops. Interesting looking machines though. That combine on the MF 35 was the kind of thing that Harry Ferguson was trying to achieve with his TE20 and wrap around combine. Not really practical or successful, since you have no line of site to the cutter bar, the tractor radiator is subjected directly to all the crop debris arising due to being cut, as is the driver.
@simonworman7898 yes that was experimental. The wind was blowing the straw onto the next pass. They were trying to find a way to pull it away again using what they had.
Your videos are such a peaceful escape from the hustle of life
@lythitan88 thank you. I enjoy filming them.
A fair selection of interesting machinery
Yes was a very interesting day
The JF combine needs a David Brown tractor like the Corgi Toys model had.
@@robertallen3441 yes i remember seeing that
I do'nt think you know your vintage farm toys.
Allis roto baler did Jones of Ruthin later carry a few spares for these??

@jamesbarbour8400 yes, nice to see at a show but you wouldn't want to cut 100 acres with it.
