archtech

Do I really have to pick one? BC's shed building account has to be one, the detail was class! I quiet enjoyed his topic on "BC's other Britian's" as well, wishing that I could afford to buy even half of what he got during the year, would be great. well archtech's MF35 has to be another one for me, ok I know its my own topic, but as a guy who grew up always interested in tractors, to finally own one, is great.

-1 here in Clonmel this morning. Sun's now out, lovely much rather be outside cutting timber than in the office this morning

Not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ken Black/Smyths Toys have the agency

I got the one with the cultivator for Christmas, back in 1981. I still remember opening it. It was a great boost to my then carpet farm.

impressive

UH part silver cabed MF 590.

Not long back from the show. As Tommy from Mad for Models said to me, Great Show and it was than. Great effort by all with their displays (no pictures sorry). Well done. JCB Bloke's workshop is amazing. There was a really good display in 1:87. For its scale the detail was amazing.

Will be there sometime on Sunday

As always most impressive.

Sound like a must visit show! Any directions to the venue

Looked like fun. I wouldn't mind having a spreader like that myself. I also bet there's loads of people who won't have even known what the spreader was for at first sight..

some old small hay making equipment eg pz haybob for the MF 35/135

as always a wealth of information

great topic. nice mix of pictures of real and models.

looks like an interesting events. I won't mind a day some time like that where i could get some real work like on the 35.

he just rang me up to say he spent the night dreaming about driving the tractor, so I think he'll be wanting to drive it again and again... the topper was grand to cut with, it was the manoeuvring where the problem was. the topper (roller mower) is quiet heavy at 475kg and when in the raised position the steering was extremely light and more often than not the front wheels were off the ground. It was a shame really as the mower gave a great finish.

"The Tractor" as its referred to in conversation got a bit of a work out over the weekend. Since I posted the last photo the topper has been sold, as it was too heavy for "The Tractor". Between work and holidays the cutting of the lawn got neglected for a few weeks and end up like silage than a lawn. I had my nephew over the weekend and we tackled the job with lawn mower and strimmer; cutting and gathering it before disposing it in the composite heap. He said wasn't interested in driving "an ould yoke ", and was only interested in driving modern tractors, however than soon changed!

heading off to scout camp

looks good, keep it up.
