My contractor has just ordered the biggest class combine and had it with
tracks on.
When I questioned him, and got past the 'its your boggy land and that of
a farmer some miles away: ho, ho, ho' the reason turned out to be that
tracks are much narrower than wheels so the combine ends up under 8'6"
wide, and is thus able to negotiate narrow roads and tight corners.
It also cost the same to hire as his existing one!

Makes excellent sense as long as there is not too much roadwork. On
saying that, how do modern tracks last?

A real bonus! :-)

They contract farm a 51 mile section!

Absolutely no idea.

We used to have a Massey 750 that had a reel from a rice header.
Nobody knew how it had gotten into the country. Possibly it got into
Europe for the Italian market

Ooooh!
Such a lot of dinky kit, all missing a zero on the price.
Makes one want to run out and buy a mini tractor tomorrow!

There is a guy using one of these on his "farm" not far from here, I am
not convinced that it was a cost efficient buy, but as long as he is
enjoying himself. Good in orchards I suspect.

True enough, balage/haylage is a huge price.

I've seen one (or something very similar) used for baling the hay off

Cute little bales, remind me of the old Allis Rotobaler ones, can be
handballed but a bugger to stack I suspect, unlike the square kind.
