FordTractorCrazy

i got plenty of the older articulated Case tractors brochures from America against costprice if you are interested?

no, only in UH box!

think i paid 60 for mine, so for half the price he is asking, i would be willing to sell it again

love what you are doing in this scale with those standard UH models. Is it not difficult to keep it from parts breaking off while customizing'?? (those 1:16 models are very fragile in comparison to the Ertl or Scale Models tractors..)

one ugly TW, although the paint job is out of this world and a real eye catcher, still i can see there wont be many takers for such a futuristic look.. We are still getting used to Black, Chrome and Metallic paint jobs by manufacturers, imagine they would offer something like this instead?

great photos with the dealers stands (you never see those tractors sparkle that much once they leave the dealers yard ). and i gotta ask... any more pictures of that custom paint job on the Ford TW30 i presume? (although, dont bring UH on to idea's here...)

welcome to the forum. Being a European 1:16 collector, i can say you wont be finding those models on this side of that big puddle they call an ocean.. I only know of a few contacts in America that might be able to help you further on your hunt for those rare items. - Jeff Flaherty of www.jsfarmtoys.com - his site is never up to date, so best mail or call him - www.redwagonantiques.com - deals in the rare older farm toys of the 50-70's - Kate Bossen of www.bossenimp.com - one of the bigger dealers with a lot of connections! other options are of course ebay, but judging the rarity of the models, you would be needing to be patient before one turns up.. and maybe a better option are auctionhouses that have specialised in farm toys (girardauctions and aumannauctions are really good and have 1 or 2 auctions every month of mostly rare stuff! hope that helps!

the new 6600/7600 cab from britains (with floorplan) i'd say.. It will definately look a lot better then the earlier cabs. nice choice of wheels, not overly broad, just the way they should be!

Ros delivers... cant wait to see the NH 8770A , hopefully a few more versions like a Ford 8770 will show up as well at some point. And congratulations on making a Fiat Winner, that model is on loads of wishlists i know, it will be a good seller, definately when judging the excellent models that have been made by Ros in recent years!

the 80ft airseeder is something you wont see here, it would probably meet ditches on either side first .. fantastic to see these enormous implements and the tractors that pull them, keep those pictures coming also the combine/baler combo is very interesting, does the combine power the baler as well?

finally some more speciality equipment in 1:32, long overdue... As seen on previous prototypes, the green plastic doesnt match the green metal parts, as i am not a deere fan, i have no idea if this problem has been solved when the models go into production as seen on the combines??

fantastic Reco model, where did you get that? Brian O'Reilly?

great stories behind the Fordson sculpture this way, that it took this long to finally find it's way to your collection makes me wonder a bit due to the sentiments behind the tractor. about the sculpture, the tractor seems to have a bit of too narrow front although i can see directly why these BFA's became so popular it is great that you are possibly able to complete your collection soon, but are you not afraid you'll fall into a black hole for not having to look for those missing models anymore? for some it is the hunt that makes it soo special to collect!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1950-s-Ford-Toy-Tractor-large-/380443008884?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item58942b9f74 that is a standard 1:8 scale Ford 8N, worth around 125 dollars with box, if it was a signature edition, it would make close to 200 dollars, but this..not in 785 years

i'll try and write a review on them tomorrow.. Have to say already that they get a big thumbs up for the money/quality ratio!

there must be a lot of sand soil in Australia to be able to use such huge implements, in our clay soil, a 6 bottom plow would be unthinkable, even with 300 hp to pull them..

Yes Erik , I did, and i did find it for sale at some point at an auction, however when it hit 1000 dollars i was out of budget, the person that bought it though, payed around 4000 dollars i believe even for me, that is tooooo crazy

This week both new Ford tractors from Britains arrived, nice little models, thumbs up for Britains! also purchased a Fordson Super Major made by RJN Classic Tractors in 1:16, my first RJN model and undoubtfully not my last! and to top it off, i bought a nice little Versatile Big Roy 1080 tractor made by Diecast Promotions in scale 1 to 16 as well, it almost takes up a complete shelf by it's own

tried Andy, still the same response though, no idea what is going wrong, the card information i've entered is 100% correct, have checked it over and over... thanks for trying! EDIT, your reply above mine was posted seconds before i wrote this, will do just that. THANKS and just found your message as well

that just fits in nicely in your collection of rare machinery brochures.. any plans???

great job Tris on the playbase, although there dont seem to many interested persons for playbases, they dont come up for sale that often! i treated myself on ehh.. let's see, maybe we should change the title of this topic to fit this purchase in with the huge amount of miles concerned for most of the parcels i get from overseas, it was about time to get myself some decent transportation for the parcels to get here.. so i bought a plane..!!!! here it is.. a Bellanca Skyrocket with Ford Tractor logo of course so lunybin for me now..

this is one of the kits offered on ebay: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Soviet-earthmover-Belorus-1-35-Plus-Model-Resin-Kit-/280712662285

does anyone else have a problem with adding card details? i keep getting an "Error 508 Invalid data in MPI MD field" while i am pretty sure i got all the details correct!
