has anyone any tips on how to win an ebay auction when buying a tractor for spares. I have won whole complete decent tractors to break before but paid a bit over what I'd like for conversion parts,but I'm thinking I'm battling with others who aren't going to use it for parts like I am.

Whats most peoples technique? just stick a price in what you want to pay rather than these others that annoyingly keep bidding up a pound and 50p for parts that isn't near the end of the auction, or not show your hand come in late and take em by surprise with a higher bid and up it by say a substantial amount?

that weeks silage trailer is mega mate 

great pics mate,nicer hillier land compared to where i live and you ain't that far away from me

always liked those Td5 later discoveries nice models and the real ones sounded good being 5 cylinders,must get a model one

great pictures joe,so nice to see some rolling countryside compared to where i live in the boring flatland of south lincs

been watching a few grassmen videos on youtube tonight ,a priest  was drawin silage with mb trac  with donkey in cab,donkey says drive it like your late for mass father absolute classic.champions league final is on youtube tomorrow night for free not on tv as such.

I don't think it's anything to do with having it all rosey in life, i don't consider my life to be a bed of roses, i work bloody hard for what i have but also i don't complain (much) as i am very fortunate that i enjoy what i do. What does piss me off is people whinging how bad they have it and how they should be kept by the state when they are perfectly capable of a days work. I have no problem with anyone who has a disability or is unable to work through bad health, they have my deepest sympathy, but there are plenty who can work but choose not to. I had a major operation on my back to remove a large lump several years ago and now find it very difficult and painful to do jobs that require a lot of bending over, but i still do them because they need doing and i am the only one to do them, that is the simple facts of life, if i am ill, like the majority people on family farms today, i still have to go out to do my jobs. I would not change this, and i certainly don't expect to be applauded for it as it is my choice in life, but please don't try and make it seem like i live a charmed and easy life compared to the rest of the population. 

John I never referred to you,I was generalizing like you have been

She ain't broken Jamie, think it must be the angle if the photo. coincidentally she had had a rough ride on the way here but nothing had broken, just a tyre come off the centre and the air mushroom come off but both went straight back on. Just goes to show how well it has been made. 

it was the angle after looking again,I'll be off to specsavers then 

who's the heavy handed 'arry' that broke the rear link arm on the 4600,postie at a guess?

Lovely models though Martin

someone did a nice job doing up those trailers will go well with your nh trailed chopper when done,hurry up man

No bother Smithy ..... PM me your address and i'll send you some un-opened, un touched and un-eaten all thirds intact Mars Bars down to you.... i'll not be greedy and eat them ALL myself!!  I reckon your need be greater than mine.... looks like you've hardly stopped this Christmas.......

I can see loads of fun size mars bars in smithys chicken shed 

there all cracking models Paul,have you a favorite? mine is the uniwrap although the round bale looks small

Really nice looking deeres there John,

I have just done my first bit of building in ages,a telescopic header trailer for the mf activa which is getting some much needed updates.

this is a brilliant topic you have done phil,hoping you have some more photos

likeing the harvest photos Martin,looks real with the sky background and excellant gradual inclines

looks good with those rear rims,they look better than the schuco 7810 rear rims I think
