Tea? (Part 2)

[Arch]

Perhaps I am thinking of the vehicle that cuts the straw and bales it.

That would be called... a baler. Hope that helps....

 

[Speicher]

I thoughted a combine harvester cut it and baled the straw.

No, I think combines leave the straw on the ground. They just thresh and collect the grain. A baler comes along and picks the straw up and bales it.

With baler twine, which is what you tie round your knees to stop ferrets going up your trousers.

If only there was a genuine country bumpkin type person in here that could confirm all these answers to the combine harvester questions

 

[Hill Wimp]

Its a CLASS Tucano 450, air con, straw chopper, chaff spreader and a cutting unit carriage.

Sorry better add yes its a combine harvester.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Goodness that's impressive......even if you made it all up

I thought i recognised it, googled it then phoned my dad. Dad's know these things

 

[Arch]

NT and I often notice agricultural machinery dealerships when we're out and about. That's proper machinery.

 

[Arch]

(oh, and it's Claas, not Class...)

 

[TVC]

Easy, it's a Challenger MT700C.

 

[TVC]

......now how did you know that?

You forget.... I'm an ex-tractor fan.

Since it could be damp tomorrow and all the combines round here will be working through the night, I may as well sit in the garden and wait for the ISS.
What time is it due tonight? 2130 something no?

 

[Speicher]

You've been spending too much time in Speicher's company......carry on and you'll be ploughing a lonely furrow

21.33 I think. Looks like it's cloudy here....

 

[TVC]

21.33 straight over head, W to E.

Lovely thanks. We have plenty of gaps in the cloud here. * Goes to make a lovely *
