Very interesting so far, I will keep a close eye on the thread

I reckon it would spoil this tractor completely if the cab was removed! Might as well not bother with the thing at all. At the moment it's a really nice and interesting piece of County export history with that cab, which fits rather nicely, and even nicer assuming it's a Canadian-built unit? Plus it can always be used with the doors and back window taken off to get a blow through. Otherwise, with it removed, it's just another 1124...

From those latest pics it looks like a true work of art The best model to be launched since the LCN Belarus....

Finally someone did an interesting model worth buying (ZT 303-D)

Spot on it's a Kirovets K-700 . Not to be confused with the latter and more commonly seen K-700A (usually yellow). The K-700 was first produced around 1969 and was powered by a 230hp Jamz V8 which makes this one quite an early tractor. The K-700A meanwhile had a 220hp V8 and arrived in the mid '70s. The K-701 which came next was also interesting as it had a 300hp V12 under the bonnet. Where were your photos taken? I assume it wasn't in the UK?

Very nice photos and very interesting!

6810 sounds busy

Yep http://www.midsuffolkagriphotos.co.uk/gallery/gp1414.htm You don't get much more 'French' than a Nodet drill though... So it should have at least one huge market

Finally, possible the best model ever made 8)

Nice to see another Hanomag pic Pöttinger currently in pole position then?

Please don't let it be sold for tractor pulling! She looks too good to die :'(

Lovely to see he still has at least one Hanomag

They look good lined up together What a heap of beet! Hope it doesn't heat or get any frost damage.

A few pics of the sister T6080s too: One carting from this: http://www.midsuffolkagriphotos.co.uk/gallery/gp2210.htm Plus two here: http://www.midsuffolkagriphotos.co.uk/gallery/gp2212.htm I think PDC's Dad's machine looks the smartest/cleanest though...

What a shame that poor Belarus is sitting there rusting away \ It seems quite an unusual one, as it has the old style cast badges for 'Belarus' and the model number etc. on the bonnet. I don't think I've actually seen a newer tractor like that with those on before... Thanks for taking and posting the pic

I think it's enough to do anyone in \ I eagerly await the Bizon AND Fortschritt models

Lovely, really nice to see! I would have thought there would be some room for a very low-cost tractor on the farm for irrigation work? Maybe a foreign machine, from the east? :

A bit of a plug/advert I suppose, but like robbo has mentioned there are quite a few beet pics on my website www.midsuffolkagriphotos.co.uk

Now that is just taunting :'(

A Fortschritt model, yes, I agree with that

I shall go and have a look around.

Anything Russian, Soviet, Eastern European, or similar. Plenty of brochures.

How did you get on ploughing it?

I shall run the topper over it, and maybe some discs, then plough in the spring. It is yes, just a little older

Sounds like it must have been pretty wet! Yep it's my combine. Thanks I'm pleased it's done now, was getting a bit late!
