Magirus-Deutz Vrachtwagen | Picture made by MMaarten
Three times German on the picture! We will start with the Deutz D6206 and its chopper. The driver is a good acquaintance of ours and bitches passionate Deutz fan and also Deutz mechanic. When we held our second Retro Harvest Day it was very itching to chop oo, but without a chopper this was difficult. During our second edition in 2018 there was a same tractor with a Mengele MB 1 row chopper and a Schuitemaker cart along the road. I myself had not seen them, but several people asked me who the combination belonged to. Especially because there was also a sign 'For sale'. After some time I came to the Deutz distributor where the man works and he told me that he knew who the chopper belonged to and he had already inquired about it. However, the asking price scared him a bit and the fact that the cart also had to be sold. Time passed until suddenly the message came, I bought the chopper! By chance I had to leave one day and heard a tractor pass in the street just before I leave. When I was on the track I could no longer see the tractor, but I had to go in the same direction. Quite coincidentally, I was behind a Deutz (a different tractor than this one) with a Mengele MB 220 in the lift. A new chopping team was born! Unfortunately, our next edition in 2020 did not take place. We are cancelling our third edition due to the Corona crisis. But in the corn season, there was a lot of chopping in their own neighborhood. At our edition of this year 2022, he was certainly there. And so he was allowed to take a seat next to the Magirus-Deutz Jupiter truck. This participant came from Ypres in West Flanders to the Retro Harvest Day to transport some corn to the corn pit. For the second time he came with this truck to the Retro Harvest Day. Why did we really want a truck at our event? The Meetjesland (the region where we are located) used to be known for the silage trucks. At that time, 80% of the corn chopping contractors owned a corn truck. An oldtimer truck could not be missed at our event. Nevertheless, a corn container from Ova or Dewa would certainly not look out of place on the truck. But you can't want everything, can you? http://www.retro-oogstdag.be
