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.

Sounds like there’s plenty with bad experiences then. I haven’t bought a lot of him, only the 2 7530s and a couple bits on sale. Wouldn’t be too keen on buying from him again , especially after that John, that was really out of line from the seller

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.

Yes, both fit, but they won‘t match rim colour😉

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

You could add some bubble wrap to stop them sliding around

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

If you work it out then let me know 😁😁

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

That front grill on the Laser is different to the others. The lights are to the top..! 

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

came across a guy on youtube recently, and just caught up with some of his videos, would highly recommend him, a real broad suffolk / norfolk accent, and some great colourful language, spend his time doing various old stuff from cars to planes, and a fair good amount of agri stuff, finds old barn stored stuff and gets them going after 30 odd years, would post a link, but prob easier to say go and search for a channel buy a guy going by the name “Lord Muck “ 

had me in stiches the way he deals with the negative comments .

Brilliant seen a lot of his stuff
