I do not have the model myself yet, but maybe it is for the hinge of the door?

These are some of my favourite front pages Two brochures on the Fordson E27N from Canada: A German version for the Ford 8N from 1947: USA brochure from 1951 on the Ford 8N tractor: Slightly later brochure on the 1955 600 and 800 range: Doe Triple D brochure from december 1959: 1961 French brochure on the Fordson range: Brazilian brochure on the Ford 8BR tractor from approx. 1965: High clearance version of the USA Ford 5000 from 1968: Mid 1970's UK brochure on the Ford 9600: On of the first County brochures in my collection, my favourite County tractor: Now common, but a few years ago very hard to get, the australian Ford 8401: From India this very great looking sunset: And finally the one I like the most and was on my teenage bedroomwall: 1977 Ford 8700 and 9700 from The Netherlands

At least he is carefull !

think Henri Walker of the Netherlands can help you: walkerparts@planet.nl He speaks/writes english

no bootprints on the steps and why isn't the floormat in the cab dirty as well

Yes.

When we start with assembling the machine it takes about a week to complete it . Ofcourse all parts must be made before at several locations and also preassembling and painting . Not to forget the work in development etc when custumer specific items are required. Niels, this is what Tris said about that: Thanks for the positive words, Simon. And you are right about the weight distibution .

The Agritechnica models are 70 euros each packed in the box as Barry showed. The regular version will be available in April at 65 euros each.

Atte, any information on the difference between the Agritechnica models and the regular release?

Did some research on the internet: - Sands: no indication of weight - Challenger Rogator: no indication of weight - John Deere 5430i: empty weight 11500 kgs with 36/18mtr boom - Delvano: no indication of weight Maybe you should ask your contractor how much his sprayer weighs...

Hi Patrick, these figures are actual weights not the ones you find in a catalog . Manufacturers tend to state a weight of the machine with a 24 meter boom and the tiniest wheels. Than the sprayer weighs about 1000 kgs less and the weight is always with empty tank and sometimes an almost empty fueltank and cleanwatertank. We've been at a test in Germany with some other makes and we did not have the heaviest machine

A standard height Condor with 40 mtr. boom and the watertank not filled is between 10000 and 10500 kgs depending on wheelsize and the fitment of options.

Mark, they bought a Condor with 42 meter boom, 5000 liter tank, GPS and some more features. You can have a look at the sprayer at their website http://www.trumpingtonestate.com/machinery.html So, when can we see your order for a self propelled sprayer or do we have to change our name to MF \

This year we already delivered two machines with 40 and 42 meters boom to the UK and have a 48 mtr boom for the UK in the books .

maybe The Stig can have a go round our racetrack

I do agree with you Wil. Is bigger better or is it about being happy with the stuff you have. Personally I'm happy with my collection of mostly Ford tractors and only a handful of implements. I made the choice to collect only Ford tractors almost 25 years ago and now have gathered about 500 pcs including some Roadless and County models. When having a family, a mortgage on the house and other commitments and quite a lot of years ago a divorce, there's not a lot of money left for collecting when you have a normal job.

When talking to Steve last year, he mentioned some differences between the 6640 and 7740. Such as bigger tyres and and additional step to get into the cab. If you just rebadge a 6640 then we all are going to moane about that. Also Imber has set a name for accuracy, so I hope they continue that in future models. Even better than a 6 cylinder version would be a limited run of the County 1164-40 ;D

Mark, that's a great collection of these brochures. The fact that they are hand drawn give them something special. Are there only french ones or also from other countries. Anyway, are only MF brochures allowed

It depends on the purchase price they had to pay... But you could be right though (hope not) about a next model.

I guess some members will be wishing they are at Zwolle on the 19th . I am...

Thanks Gav836, that's exactly the part of the sprayer I'm working responsable of at Agrifac . We think that a strong undercarriage is one of the vital parts to build a great and durable machine. And when picking pictures I did not notice how the picture on the van matched with the new sprayer . Thanks for the kind words guys

Oh no, not another limited edition Fendt :( . And Atte: who commisioned it?

Think I'd like that better then the 956...

Here some additional pictures in the maize. Compared to a standard Condor: Four wheel steering as standard (crab steer also possible): In the maize:

In time for the Agritechnica next month we have ready the high clearance version of our self propelled Condor sprayer. After the succesfull launch two years ago on the Agritechnica of the 'normal' Condor sprayer, now Agrifac adds a new model to the Condor range. With a clearance of between 1200 and 2000mm it is now possible to spray maize and other high crops without damaging it. The sprayer is available with a capacity of 3400, 4000 or 5000 liter tank and a boomwidth ranging from 24 up to 51 meters. Standard height: Clearance of 2000mm: With our service car underneath it: 2000mm clearance and 2250mm trackwidth: Air suspension on all wheels: Our inhouse designed sprayercontrolscreen:
