Harvesting began with the Deutz-Fahr 6095 HTS release

Our neighbors José Antonio and Rodrigo own the new Deutz-Fahr 6095 HTS combine. They sold their old DF combine, so they have acquired this new combine now and they have other DF 5690 too.

We were with them when combine was used the first time... it was really funny. This combine is the first of 60 series in our village and even in our area (the main brand is Claas because there is an important leader in our area and they are showing great performances). The owners have very positive sensations because they are working with this brand for a long time... their customers, in the course of time, will say if this combine can compete with Claas Lexion or New Holland CX combines.

About the combine, it has a cuttebar of 6.6m (it can work with DH720A cuttebar of 7.20 m) and it highlights for its low consumption at 15 l/ha approx. (though the engine works at 2,250 r.p.m.) and easy maintenance... the holders confirmed these data when we spoke about that and compared the statistics with other used combines too.

Water for purple garlic

We visited Barriga brothers in their field of purple garlic a few days ago. They were carrying out the last irrigation for this campaign... garlic are watered weekly since May and from now on they won't water any more to let them dry... they will be harvested in two weeks. We think they are going to have a good crop: large size and high quality. From here, we invite all our followers to taste Las Pedroñeras garlic.

When we visited them, they were changing the position of their hose reel as you can see in our video and pictures. It is really interesting, you can see as two people can water any crop with this machinery (even one person can do it, too). It has a handicap because we think this kind of irrigation is worse than traditional one using pipes and sprinklers. This hose reel can be configured to fix it with different conditions about time, crops, caudal, working speed,... (some of them, the most modern ones, have a small computer which manages it and it is really accurate).

About technical characteristics: the working speed was of 2 min/m, the working width was of 53m and the water pressure used was 4.5bar with a water jet diameter of 26mm (they have a pump of 89 m3/h caudal).
