FordTractorCrazy

welcome, good to see another member starting posting!!! the more, the merrier. Feel free to share anything farming related on here. There are loads of peops on here that have the same farming addiction in one way or another.. you might even make a couple of friends! enjoy!

welcome back Luke, it has indeed been too long , you will have noticed the forum got a complete new layout with additional options all over the place. have fun! and also curious if your collection has been increased in the meantime?

cant believe we are forgetting our own FTF Ford 5000 industrial!!! , might still be available with Andy though? , also of course the Britains Ford 7710 Autoway, Deutz Autoway, Volvo Autoway, Fordson Major industrial and Ford Super Major 5000 industrial... So all in all, if you really search, you will find that there are lots of Industrial and Communical tractors out there! PS. industrial backhoes not taken in consideration here, but if you did, there would easily be another 10 models to add to the list!

great looking models. Love them artics, but kept myself to only the Ford (and with the FW-series being Steiger origin) , New Holland and Versatile models.. if you like the green livery of the Steigers, you are still missing a few made by Scale Models!!!! As for the FW-series, i reccon you have both the FW30 as FW60 from Britains and perhaps the FW60 Ertl counterpart of the Britains casting... Still there are a few variations to go, like a plastic one and three early casting(80's) FW60's by Ertl (grey cab, white cab, collector edition of 1000 models) i'll keep an eye out on your endevours to complete both the Steiger as the FW series.. Those would be amazing shelves!!!

and last 6 Industrial Tractor Loader - Ford 1841 (USA 1958) Farm and Light Industrial Loader (UK 1968) County High-Drive 762H County High Speed Haulage - HSH140 Ford 2000 (UK 1969) Ford 10 series Compact Tractors (UK 1986) that is it for now, still a couple on hold at a few places...

and one day later, another 12 new old brochures arrived... so without further ado: Ford Versatile 1156, one of the Versatiles that was only available in the versatile colour after the takeover by Ford... (USA 1989) pull-type and Self Propelled Forage Harvesters 880 and 1880, Sperry New Holland (USA 1969) a New Holland series i never heard of before, must be for the American market i think.. New Holland TT-A series (USA 2007) New Holland manure spreader (USA 1961) New Holland Manure Spreader (UK 1963) Versatile 103 self-propelled swather (Canada 1970's i think)

and again a few additions arrived.. mostly 50's stuff New Holland Forage Harvester (600/610) - USA 1953 New Holland Tilt-Table Blower (forage blower) USA 1953 New Holland Twine-Tie Baler (model 66) USA 1952 Versatile SP400 Hydrostatic Swather (think this would be around early 1980's) Canada And finally, a German Fordson Dexta narrow tractor brochure... can't make out what time this was issued, my guess early 1960's

it seems i cant add more then 5 pictures per post on the new forum, so cant adapt the first post anymore... i found two more pictures on this forum County 1174 - Gold County 1184 - Yellow

thank you for the info, we started with pedigree stock bulls our selves, but found that although having a very good effect on the overall quality of our herd, it was at some point to hard to find a good bull that would further enhance the quality of our herd and did not came with a huge pricetag, so since a year of 5, we only use AI and are very satisfied with the results. i should have a lot of pictures somewhere, but not recent ones. The last pictures i took of our cows was at a cowshow last September. I'll try to track them down later this week..

nice looking heifer for a 3/4 BB , I take it, they are AI? are you using UK/Irish bred Belgian Blue bulls or from the mainland? And what criteria do you use when selecting a bull? we have a purebred pedigree Belgian Blue herd of about 20 right now (we normally only have a herd of around 12-15, but had 6 calvings in the past 2 months, downsized a lot as we had over 110 cows 6/7 years ago)

great work on these conversions, fantastic that this can be made with the detail lacking models of Siku and Britains. Also brilliant photography!!!

welcome aboard, we'll be waiting in anticipation on your model farm pictures of course...

welcome aboard, although i never met you, i have seen your displays on a few topics about shows in the UK on this forum and was duly impressed. Hope you like it on here, there are quite a few nutcases around on here (mark ), but they are harmless so dont let that scare you .. btw, would love to see pictures of your displays and collection???

you definately have not sat still in those 3 months.. , what a nice collection of mostly very detailed models of the major brands in 1:32..\ also neatly displayed!!! have you still got room for more models, or is another displaycabinet on the shopping list as well?

thank you Andy, works perfectly

not much of a problem, but if you open a topic from the "latest post" part of the home page, it automatically opens the first page of the topic instead of the last page... have i got something not set right on my computer or is this how it is supposed to work?

this was 15 months ago, I haven't sat still all this time and there have been a couple of changes.. - The old Fordcrazy001 site is not there anymore now. - The "collection" part of my old site is still available at the new site. go to the menu -->"home" --> "old site" - a lot of information has been added to the new site and right now 1010 brochures and 455 models can be found on there. Still 540 brochures and around 450 models to go.. This takes a lot of time as every model means 1 new file, 6 new pictures and another file to adapt. - everything should work, except the "For Sale" part concerning the brochures.. enjoy www.fordtractorcrazy.com and any comment, positive or critical is appreciated

and another 4 brochures arrived from Germany, one of them a rare French "Versatile" brochure.. Versatile 876 Ford 10 series Force II (2910-4610N) Ford 8100 single sheet New Holland 835 and 865 round baler

now that is useful! missing a few small parts on mine...

very nice! especially the artic!!!! it is slowly getting more and more complete in a couple of areas.. are you only adding UK brochures to your collection?

personal messaging isnt working properly right now, will ring you tomorrow evening..hope all is well with you and Amanda!

3 more brochures added to the collection.. Box Spreaders : this is actually a very similar brochure as one i already had. But it differs in code. The one i already had, had the old Sperry-New Holland code, which is quite similar to this newer (by one month!) Ford-New Holland code... sperry-NH = 31021376-3-89-LVO Ford-NH = 31021376 48940 LVO then a UK TN-A introduction brochure. had the dutch version already.. and finally a new New Holland T9-series brochure from the UK to keep up to date with the New Holland artics brochures

worth quite a bit actually, one sadly missing from my collection, know someone who actually has one boxed, which is even a bigger rarity, but as Sean says, you hardly ever see them in mint condition so cherish it

great models in here David!!!! drooling behind the screen... , i only have a few of these.. any chance on a close-up on that County 654?

thanks Sean, added to the list.. Ehhhhh.. images of every model.. that wont be easy.. own quite a few of the 1:32's .. even some (originally) red ones 1:16's though.. some on order in other words.. challenge accepted even if this will take me a few ehhh... years
