the first brochure i have of this press is from 1975 and i would guess they will have been produced right until they were replaced by the 900-series balers in 1984

welcome back, you must be chuffed to bits with all the Case / International releases lately

fantastic pictures. the older tractors look to be straight from the factory, really well restored examples there!

the FW60 you describe is a plastic model made as part of a 4-piece set for some kind of Steiger anniversary (another one to collect maybe ). the one i meant is even more rare, only 1000 models were made back in the 80's and might be one of the earliest limited editions. only a few survived and so far i have come accross 3 in 5 years, so they are out there (it is not yet added to the new site, but still visible on my old site (through menu - old site) http://www.fordtractorcrazy.com/model/model-ford-fw-32-ertl-60-collectors.html

fantastic photos to show the differences.. it is definately going onto my wishlist!

thanks a million, now i will have to escort (read carry all her book purchases) the "sweet lady" to this place next time i am in Britain (missed this tip, but the lady got it memorized already now... (big thank you and her exact words were actually "I love you David Scrivener"

fantastic line up again David! i noticed you buying a few nice Ford's from DBP's stand. I couldnt resist the temptation as well and am mighty glad to have bought a 6710 as well. I believe we both bought from Cenfies Davis a Roadless model close after each other.. I hadnt realised there were 5 variations, so now had to add 2 more to the wishlist anyways, before i drift away completely, you definately had a lot of great buys that fit perfectly within your new themed collection. Every sinlge one is a fine example of craftmenship by the builder of each model! of course forgetting the standard releases of which the Ford FW by Ertl is great in a totally different way.. Saw only 1 on the show, saw it was not a collectors edition, otherwise i would have tipped you off ..

while you could have played with models instead! .. missed you big nowseee, but the rest of the company made up for it though.. had a great time and so did Kaat, although she had a slight hangover on sunday morning... got home yesterday late and just unpacked the stuff i brought home with me.. way too much of course, but am mighty pleased with what i was able to add to the evergrowing collection always a pleasure to see David, Andy, Sue/Barbara, Mandy, Barry, Steve, Mike & Sharon(someone over here is mighty pleased with the piri piri), Richard, Dave, John, Erik & Marianne, Niels "Onion Rings" and dont forget Jax! (Barry was actually quite behaving himself, was very nice to meet you) and i am probably forgetting a few here! next year we better book the Frankie & Benny's place for food though, so we can all eat together, nevertheless Sue, Mike and Sharon are great company .. and then grab a couple of pints on our way to the hotel

came home with a small load of models... DBP Ford 8210 dualls DBP Ford 7710, 4wd bubble DBP Ford 6710 2wd bubble - extremely pleased with this one as i drove this for over 10 years on my dads farm DBP Ford TW35, 4wd, Super Q DBP County 654 DBP County 754 DBP County 1124 Pre Force 1:16 (it's a beauty) also from Dave Purdue Britains NH L85 orange colour version Ros NH T7050 duals Bourbon NH 8070 combine new in box and Dave built me another model of a tractor i learned to drive on. really smart looking and possibly the best thing i brought home with me from Martyn Reeve i bought Britains NH TS135A old decal in red box, that being the 4th version i have of that model... Farmall 460 ertl precision Farmall Super M ertl precision also 2 Spalding show models a Brian Norman Ford 7840 from Brian a G&B models Roadless 95 from mr.Davies a Ford 1710 Maxwell 1:20 2 LKE product Ford 6600 from Andy as well as 2 Tomte Laerdal Fordson Dexta's and last but not least: from Mandy alias HLT miniatures: - Fuel Tank, ladder, barb wire, jumper cables, electric extension reel, water trough, stock fencing, supplement tubs.. and Kaat bought from Mandy a dog and a cat in a bucket...

Alex, that is one h*ll of a day! Personally i would have burned the car after the second breakdown as my patience would have ran out...

oh god no.................. the "Sweet" lady decided to visit a place called Hay-on-Wye in Wales before we head to Spalding.. I hope there will be enough space in the car left for some porn.. eh models to take home with me.. this reminds me to check the suspension of the car..

@ Pops : now it is confirmed he is still amongst the living in all health, we may please continue with the random digs??? (i can always count on Barry though ) bugger... and here i was thinking he digged a hole with his frontloader and got stuck in it.. no such luck @ Mark ; stay away from the lawnmower, we'd like to see you in one part in a couple of days

a marketing sales person of Dewulf has announced the things i put in the post above you, only last week on a Dutch Farm Toys Forum officially, a direct statement from Dewulf themselves!!

dont forget to introduce yourself at the FTF stand and members stands you'll love it.. your wallet won't

quite a few indeed, would be a nice stack , i only know of 3 persons (including myself) that have both, actually i only know 3 persons that have the blue metallic version.. and none have ever shown up on ebay as well..

dont hold back on my account.. love seeing these "monsters" is that Versatile fitted with an aftermarket Turbo? or complete engine haul as the exhaust seems not in the right place and shape..

quite a varied selection of modern day machinery! have you got some specifics in which you collect, or do you collect anything agricultural related?

this beauty, and extremely rare beast (only 10-15 made for the 2011 USA Trade Show) makes a nice set with the gold version (also made for the same show in a bit higher limited edition of about 30 models) i have although i am doubting if i'll keep them due to limiting the boundaries of my collection further.. so for the right price

the first RA3060 was produced by PDmodel, whom also have produced the Equaterre models and has some very detailed pieces that will probably not be as detailed on the ROS version. The Ros version will not be a replica of, it will be newly made from scratch! (and due to higher numbers most likely also quite a bit cheaper, most likely comparable with the Grimme) there has not yet been given a time, however they have said to produce the ROS RA3060 first while the quattro has been set on hold

with pops and Luke having not been around all the time, they must have missed another new US member "pinkmisttt", he was less subtle with the plan to take over the forum you should check his collection http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?/topic/18153-new-collector/

farm toy dealers i would reccon, will be a new limited edition of 1500! made by Ros, different from the limited edition of 100 that was already made!

contact Andy directly on here and give him some time, he is over his ears in work for shipping out the FTF limited IH models and the mag, and the upcoming Spalding show most likely as well, he's no magicien, but is a man of his word is my experience!

have a great trip Jordan, that is an awesome country to travel, definately if you have an agricultural heart.. I think Nick on here lives on the southern end of the North Island and runs a Diary farm ? Also thought Ol lives on the Northern Island. Have friends living on the southern island as well.. Seeing it is nearing fall there, i would expect lots of harvesting being done right now! Keep your nose closed in Rotarua

didnt Agco also drop White and Oliver last year or so?

amazing kit, most of that would not even fit through the entrances of our fields in Holland.. I made quite a few trips to the North American continent and have to say it is really something to see endless fields and the huge kits that work them.. We are used to 10 acre fields on average!!!! would you be needing extra muscle for the 24-rower? (a shame that it isnt there before the planting season) btw that Kinze grain cart is
