Nicks newist tractor, David brown /Case 1390
Simon replied to Kiwi6920's topic in FTF Member Machinery
I'm pretty sure that's just you Marky... I love these, our first 'proper' tractor was a 1983 1390, I loved it, till the box went pop.... lovely little tractor to drive... look forward to see you working this one Nick..... I'm still hoping UH pop one out soon.... \ -
Full marks for effort though....

It just gets better! -
:laugh: the T9 must be 'Avatard' then..... :laugh:
-
Now I am blue through and through... but that T9 looks like a retarded sperm whale.... Like the T8 though, much better looking than the outgoing range...

For the first time in a long time, I am now rushing to this thread before the UH release thread... Happy days Not up my street particularly but fair play, cracking model!

Cheers Paul, they are one of the best looking of all types of ag machines, although I think the 5 & 6 walker machines look nicer than the 4, just a bit chunkier....

Lovely stuff Paul.... nice old girl she is... looks a good crop too... Here's my modest contribution, just our little 1991 Dom 78s cutting at Marlbrook last week & the 6030 hauling away with the AW...

UH must be laughing all the way to the bank...........

You're right, but I imagine that getting the chinese workers to stick a set of duals on possibly isn't as simple, nor cheap, as our conversion specialists here show it to be, and it's free market economics, they charge as much as they can. Profit isn't a dirty word! And they probably don't actually make that much out of each unit after everything is taken into account... -
Maybe he's sold everything

And either way, this is business.... If UH, or any other manufacturer, can find a way of actually making some profit, then we will keep getting new models to choose from.... It is also a bonus for people who want something a little different for a collection or layout, it's up to all of us whether we buy them or not, no one is obliged to give us anything nor are we obliged to pay loads for something we don't want. They need to make a profit, so long as they can do that, they stay in business, we all win.. -
KV always used to be very good with parts, should be able to order them straight out the book at your local dealer... Alternatively, if you can get some accurate samples, any sign maker will do them....

Brilliant effort, can't wait to see these flying off the shelves.... 5100 series Maxxums next please Britains since you seem to be on a bit of a roll!!

Are the wheels definitely the wrong colour? I still have a pot of MF Starmist Silver sitting on my shelf from touching up the wheels on a mate's 3080 years ago...
-
That is nice, I'm not a huge MF man either but I love the 3000's... bazza.... 3085 3090 3095 3115 3120 3125 [i think on the last 3 anyway...]

I can't even bring myself to imagine that.... it's too traumatic.... poor old thing.... :'(

What's your latest Farm / Construction buy - 2010
Simon replied to Tractorman810's topic in General Hobby Discussion
I thought so -
Exactly right Nick, we bought her second hand though so the PO must've held onto it... we used it on an NH conventional baler with the long bar and everything else was PUH or linkage...
