Thanks Paul. I have 1971 for the spreader, Lely tedder and seed drill as first release but I've not seen any of these in anything other than straw boxes. So these first straw boxes with the 135/Ford made from 1970/1-1976 and the later type from 1977-1981 (for implements). Interesting they stayed on for the Atcost barn

Does anyone know what years the implement straw boxes first appeared/disappeared? I can't find much background on them. The lighter one on the left with the MF135 and early cabbed Ford 5000 should really have been altered in 1973 when the new cabbed Ford 5000 came out but I don't know of any other that was used until the later one (here darker on the right) appeared in 1977 with the new 500 series, Ford 6600, Unimog and Deutz dx110 pictured.

Yes definitely a Britains squat driver from the mid 2000s I think, I have one in the dealer boxed New Holland TL80 and TD95d. Usually seen in brown overalls but very occasionally black I think.

This rare, printed display card will make a tidy little sum

A British Replicagri would be brilliant, that's my biggest gripe about them and Wiking never making any tractors you see over here, past or present. Even Britains made European tractors back in the day.

That's awesome mate. I'm selling the brown ones on eBay and they want to know if they fit that exact trailer. The yellow ones are the same dimensions as the older brown ones I believe

Perhaps but I'm a bit worried the fragile roof will get crushed if I'm not careful.

I've got the stable building parts, animals and accessories in separate sealable bags as they wouldn't fit inside the box without falling about. If I'm wrapping it I guess I'll just have to have them loose inside.

Does anyone know if the headboard/tailboard racks on the yellow round bale trailer 9591 fit on the back of the twin axle flat bed trailer 40935?

That's not a terrible idea, especially the first one, thank you James. I'd be reluctant to wrap it too much as it makes it tricky to get to potentially. But a home made box with thick cardboard sandwiching it makes a lot of sense.

Has anyone had to post one of these things, I'm looking at selling the similarly sized Riding set (with stables)as I can't sell it locally on fb Marketplace, and the box needs to be big! Approx 73cm long x 45 wide snd 7.5 deep. Nearest size box i can find is a u2 server shipping box, costing £17 cheapest which I guess I'm going to have to add to the already large shipping cost of this item on ebay. What boxes do others use and where are they obtained? Thanks c

Will do Mike but I won't be forcing anything! Hope someone out there has figured it out.

Second version according to Mike, though the writing on my box doesn't mention this.

Trying to figure out how to change the linkage on the ROS Laser 150

All wheat in and straw in at the farm where I'm working, just waiting for the beans to get fit.

Hi looking for a small fencing contractor in the South Hams region or beyond willing to travel, its a 12 acre field on a northwest facing slope, some small paddocks to create too. Thank you

I went to the April 24th Westpoint fair, not a huge amount of 1:32 to be found

Empire Blue I think they called it,used on the New (Power) Major in 1959 up to early versions of the New Performance Major in 1963

Ah good to have our Dartmoor farmer back, missed your expertise on all things Britains, David Browns and more!

3 later white versions, 1 early grey with peg and a later offset grey with screw.

We have a small Howard rotovator on the farm.

Well it was last Tuesday now, but silage carting from second cut

Brilliant seen a lot of his stuff
