Congratulations Paul/Gemma .yes the waffles look nice

Yes it will have the decals and some black pipe for the rams 

I have built a few in the past ,they are ok if you take you time and not expect to build it after tea one night, deciding how far to build before stopping and spraying/hand painting is the problem as for example mudguards might be different colour ,even if same colour its hard to paint the rest with them on ,same with bonnets . you should be ok with hedge cutter as all same colour apart from the rams , like i said take you time check thing fit before applying clue and you will be ok    

Another nice lot there Paul ,well done to John for finding them

The Demo of the 8rx went really well, impressive tractor, really well thought out, pulls reasonably well and economical. Tried it out on both the Demo drill, our Rapid Drill and then the Horsch Tiger. We are probably thinking the Spirit drill won’t be for us though, it’s good points are the larger staggered wheels, large tank, ability to put fert ahead of the seed. What we didn’t so much like was the lack of direct drilling ability, coulters didn’t cope that well with trash and not sure it would cope with our heavy land at Bondip, but the dealer is going to bring it back in the spring for us to try Spring Beans on some clay. Simon is to sit down and work out if he can afford an 8rx and see what package is available. Having these demos allowed us to get the drilling into a corner and completed before this rain. We didn’t however manage to get all the pre emergence sprays on. We are now having a re organise in the yard, washing down kit and putting away, having a good tidy up. Collected the new grain bucket too

Nice update, glad you demo went ok ,i now someone that is taking in a 8RX ,its 1 of 2 on this farm ,because the idler wheels in middle of tracks dont reach out to the sides the tracks a waring out uneven in a short space of time ,they are replacing it with a wheeled tractor ,the other 8RX they run is doing the same with the tracks but they are keeping it a bit longer
