Hey mate,

I wrote a New Model News Story on the model with a picture. Have a look

Quite an ingenious display, not often you see a grape vining display. Fair play to that man 

Astounding work mate, front weight bracket looks great on the models. Very nice fleet you have going there 

Bang on good job you made of it mate, excellent work as per usual. 

Your new beet harvester looks excellent on your display Richard, as always excellent work. Second driver picture is a cracker as well!  :D

You said that isn't finished, what else could you possibly add to it!? Another masterpiece Mattias, astounding work 

Nice pictures mate, quite the fleet your old contractor has. Great to see again 

All of these pictures are getting me quite itchy, we are still covered in snow where I am and am getting pelted in it yet again as we speak 

Great pictures Sascha, please keep them coming! 

makes sence i guess timmy, do you get any moving rear arm models out there?? or just fixed center mounts

Few moving arm models down my way I believe, as there are smaller fields with more obstacles much like the UK. As you move further west however, you are most likely to see center fixed mounts with the larger fields. 

Happy Birthday Brian, have a good one 

As always Sean, superb conversion! The side door looks well smart now 

welcome to the forum Lennart, great conversion you've made there, looks well mate 

Out in the Midwest where most of the farming takes place, fields are literally just flat large blocks with no curves around trees or slopes like some of you might have in the UK. Therefore, no real need for a moving arm when the center mount works fine. 

Nice little set up you have there, the bales looks really great. I might try it for my 1/16 model farm some time. 

Tidy job mate, great project result! 

Nice set of pictures Blake...good find on the UH MF's, must have been a half decent price for you to walk away with that many!

Not at all; tell me more!

Around here, the farm trucks in use are fairly old...mostly gas engines. Gas right now is about $1+ less per gallon than diesel (this of course happened shortly after I bought my diesel truck... :'() I'm not sure how much cheaper off-road diesel is around here. The guy who cuts my hay uses #2 heating oil with some additives in his tractor. He hauls hay on a wagon behind his tractor but he's never more than 2 miles or so I'd say from his farm.

We don't need beacon lights to run down the road and there are still a lot of guys who have tractors with open platforms (no cabs). We don't have license plates for the most part either. We can get a "farm" plate and switch it between all the vehicles we use. In fact, if you operate withing 2 miles of your farm, you don't need to have a farm plate on your vehicle at the time as long as you do have one. For example; if I have a farm plate and it's on my pick-up truck back at the barn, I can still drive around within 2 miles on my tractor. Realistcally, the police never bother the farmers for tractors...some of the old trucks however...well, lets just say some of these are 50's vintage and have been worked hard all their lives... how safe are they?

Quite interesting, I thought for a while that most farms in my part of MA used mostly newer machinery, I suppose I am mistakened. My uncle still uses machinery from the 50's on his farm on a regular basis, all the way from Farmall Cubs to 50's Ford Flatbed trucks. It's great that the equipment from that era has lasted as long as it has, it's good to know that other farms in MA still have older machinery earning their keep. If it's not broke, why fix it eh? 

Great detail, literally looks just like the real thing. Nice work 

Bugger...my comment ran off  :D

Superb work again Sascha, The belt drive addition looks quite realistic. Keep up the great work mate. 

Superb conversions Dan, WOW is all i can say! Fantastic work as always mate 

Well done Sid and to all those who entered, an excellent batch of pictures from this competition from everyone 

Happy birthday MGU, hope you had a great day 

Looks like quite a bit of time went in that, looks great so far mate, keep up the progress 

Nice work Berry, looks great
