Had the exact same idea! So i am going to follow this topic how it turns out!

Looks much better Paul! The bonnet also ajusted that it is not that steep any more? Kind regards Johny

Some good looking conversions youve got there John! Keep up the good work! Kind regards Johny

Workbench is cleaned out and the machinery is put away at the moment. Al parts boxed and put to storage. Builing a new garage and then the house is next to do so not that many time to build. Hopefully next year again.

Nice work as Always Sean! Like the 699 also how did you build youre's? Kind regards Johny

Tanks 4055Power and Robbo! Had a Nice day yesterday with hard wrok for UPS! Then i came home the dog was glad to see me! Then about 22:00hour i picked up Sandra and then i tot back and went to bed for a good sleep. So no big party for me this year Kind regards Johny

My purchases from Zwolle Ronnie Post Massey Ferguson 5170 maize forager 2x Schlüter Super Trac 2000TVL from Weisse 1 boxed 1 unboxed for converting Schlüter Super 3000TVL kit from Tyro toys germany Schlüter Super 1500TVL kit from Tyro toys Germany Realy pleased with the forager pictures come later on!

I had to have a litle patience on the model because i first wanted to sell some stuff before i could buy the model. Stil looking for a new job so have to colect on another way at the moment! So that is also one of the reasons that i bought it later in Lochristi! Kind regards Johny

Got my first model this year and what a stunner! It is the Schlüter Eurotrac from Weisse. The price is high but it is not that it is not worth it! what an detail and what a great precision! I think the model is already shown on different photo's so no photo's are needed. Kind regards Johny

Also on this model youve done a great job Colin! Kind Regards Johny

Youve made some great models Colin! Like the 4240, ive got a brochure from that type of tractor wherent big sales on that one ive heard off. Kind regards Johny

I where also thinking to do some thing whit the models. But don´t know what yet. The MF 2725 Electronic Sean posted is a tractor that drove around here in the area by a contractor near by! They used it for almost 20 years! Tractor has traded in for a MF 6495 at the time and the 2725 is bought by a guy that use it now for the hobby! I am curius what you are going to do whit the model Paul! Kind regards Johny

What a great model! Send over to me mate that i can have a closser look

I do hope so

Looks fantastic. Jan MF and i did also it like this way! Only i used the tyers of a Claas Celtis from UH, not from the MF 5480. Keep the conversions like this coming! Kind regards Johny

Looks like some nice new stuff! But i am missing one thing in the brochure! the new MF that they announced! Not coming out or wil it be later revealed?

Thanks for all the reply´s stil nothing done on the 4wd´s i need to order some decals for them. Kind regards Johny

Thanks for the reply´s. The bonnet is an original bonnet of the MF 590 from UH. Kind regards Johny

They look bad ass! Some work is put in these models! Kind regards Johny

Thanks for the nice reply´s @Sean: i know what you mean on the photo´s you dont see the lines that good that i made with my milling machine and the paint job dousnt look that good on the photo as it is in real life! Hope i can finish the 4wd´s soon! Kind regards Johny

Thanks for the reply´s. Yes it is a part of our old layout Niels

Here the first of the 3 MF 699´s that i have build. This model is as good as finished the 2 4wd´s need some work so they will be on here in the near by future! Some info on the build. Ive started the build with an MF 3080 from UH,MF 590 also from UH and for the cab and hitch i used a MF 1014 from Weisse. The tyers are from a Deutz K ,and the rims are from a Claas/Renault Ares, both UH. Ive modifyed the engine by milling out the orignal 3080 engine and placed back the MF 1014 engine from Weisse. Also the frontaxle of the MF 3080 had to go and replaced by the 2wd axle from PMA32. The exhaust is from an Ford TW of Britains (deliverd by Henri Walker, and so are the decals) The aircleaner is a casting in white metal. Frongril is customized of the UH 590 whit some polystyreen strips that i made. Lights in the gril are re used from the 590. The bonnet is also customised whit some milling and some sawing and puty. Front weight frame is made from polystyreencard. Tanks are also self made whit polystyreen and the filing tube and guard plates in front of the thank are made from brass. Added a warning beacon on the cab outside and inside i gave the interior the good colours and added the gearleavers. The back end of the tractor is also from the MF 1014 from Weisse and is shorter on the cab/rearaxle. Now i hear you thinking why didnt you use the whole Weisse frame? That ive tryed but whit drilling out the axle it completly went wrong and i thats why i start using the MF 3080´s! Maybe i forgot some things but that was it in general. Hope you lads like her! Kind regards Johny

That could be a good thing that they make the model the good way and not like the photo´s wheve seen!

Thanks for the compliment but i think i will never try to make it There ar so much things i would like to build that i sometimes can´t make a choice.

Looking at this topic i must say i like youre tracked massey the most! The other models are also great! Kind regards Johny
