alot of dealers around here keep the brochures tucked away to stop people just picking up loads and putting on ebay. I have collected since the 80s and now find i have to ask or email to be sent new ones.
-
a few of the new britains ih 956 and case 1056 from my local friendly model dealer ;)

need to lie down and think about all the new purchases too many all at once ;)

-

-
I don't think it is actually out yet, but I am reliably informed it will be about 200 pages (and that apparently is after a few deletions in the range)
got one being emailed to me from an insider will try and post some when it here
-
Those Case and IH models were seriously crazy!
Money to burn!
the winning bidder has 33% of his bids with the same seller, wonder if he got caught out pushing up an item for a friend!!!!!
most of his wins are not tractors either.
-
Yes, but as I said their were crossover models, so this tractor could have always been in this box since manufacture. Would like to see more pictures of this piece so I could perhaps authenticate it fully. Presume it is your model? A lovely looking piece though, My favourite
Britains Model. So iconic of the late 80s/90s Ford tractor. Can not see front wheel clearly because of camera Flash may be you could email more pictures?
one of my fav tractors as well, got 2 britains versions light decal and dark both boxed..... hence my name!!!!!!!!!!!!
got two conversions as well with the black floorpan as per the real tractors

thought i had a slower year more selective in my purchases.....
spreadsheet shows 126 new items wooooops :of
8 still on order from mfm........... :)
my name is richard and i am addicted to model tractors :of :of :of
-
My thoughts exactly, an extra £25 for the dealer box is excessive in my opinion, I don't mind up to about £10 but that is going too far >
yes but the dealers like g&m have bought them from claas then put the mark up on them...... claas do not sell at £70!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more around £45..............................
-
yeah shame the bloke building them is not lock up too?
well shall we all sell ours on ebay and get you to build us all new ones david...................
hope you and amanda are well and see you soon richard.

martyn and i had a good look round this area on the monday after the lcn show, we went to dronten lelystad etc. as someone who works for a 3000 acre estate i found this really interesting. the small fields and large amounts of kit amazed us. The area is really open and well set out for large operations but there are small fields within big ones. We saw lots of tractors ploughing with 4 furrows and large tractors pulling trailers around the roads. The soil was first class. i see that from the other comments that you dutch guys love your kit, we farm our 3000 acres with 1 challenger 865c and a jd 6930. and a bateman 36. that is the total tractors for the whole unit. we are really looking forward to looking aroung more next year and will head this way on the friday as well as the monday!!!!!
-
