right, i might aswell state my situation. in 'bedroom'sville' there are three farms, the cottage farm, tcfc - the cottage farm contracting (contractors yard really) and days gone farm. the cottage farm (the main farm) consists of around 250 acres, and we have around 60 dairy cows, 30 sheep, 10 pigs, and 6 dogs. oh and a herd of chickens, most of the feilds are 'pedigree grass' which we mostly silage ourself with our valtra 8750 with mengele trailed forager, we have our joal valtra and siku (blue edition fendt) leading a mf and 'new ray' silage trailer, cutting is done with our vicon. we also have a small amount of corn feilds which is contracted,

hope i didnt bore anyone  :D :D

sorry marky has to be an alfa laval, thanks anyway. i had a go searching again in farmphoto and google but no luck, like dwross said they have probably all rotted away at the end of fields  :(

but if you have that picture dwross i would still appreciate seeing it................

the closer the better..............

thanks andy, suppose there all youre bargains. where you get a mib valmet for a ?5.00, what do you do to get these models? house clearance for toys or summit???

i think its quite odd britains making a set with a an 805 and a small tipping trailer........... that tractor is quite big compared to the trailer......... its like the mf 2680 or whatvever that came with the baler and tiny weeny red land rover trailer? pointless...............

so it looks like i have two rareish trailers, a blue ford box set one (wouldnt mind seeing a pic if there is one floating about) and the red one........

thanks...........

thanks for that............... what about the blue one then??????????????

hi all, picked up a britains tipping trailer at the carboot this morning. the little ones, its a blue and yellow one. i have seen the green & yellow ones, and have a red & yellow one (oh and the aotoway one) but i aint seen the blue one ive just bought (for ?1.00!!!)

how many variations of this trailer is there?? is the blue one rarer????

that is a fair bit of money for so little, surely theres plenty of origonal ones at spalding for ?5.00???

very nice, i like those carrot sacks too  , i wish i had the patiants you have........

it would seem so, but i think they might only be limited at the moment.

you can get them at farmmodels.co.uk

hope this helps..........

thanks Q and modelfarms, i think i will pick one of these up at spalding, those sprayers look nice too.

thanks..............

noticed this set on g&m's page, a limited edition green schluter with a winch. does anyone know if this winch will be brought onto the market properly???

thanks.............

hi everyone, has anyone got any pictures of an alfa-lavel tanker like the one britains made, i have never seen a real one and im curious about them, all hwelp highly appreciated

thanks..........

if that young boy got punished by them i was the boy!  :D

the first pic makes her look mesmerised.

this looks nice  :D

i always wondered when someone would make a working sledge, youve put alot of work into that (unlike mine, may post pics later) well done!!!!

wow!!!!!!!! anybody came across that truck before on the leaflet? i like it!

i would love a britains fordson, but im not prepared to pay the price.....

im thinking of getting a crescent fordson and re-wheeling it and a new linkage.

what years the catalouge???? i realy do wish when i was five i pointed to the claass jag and fords etc rather than the other boring trailers when i was in the toy shop, would save me forking out on wods of cash!!!!!!!!

hi all, has anyone seen a leyland 154 conversion before in 1/32nd. this is one of my favourite classic tractors but ive never seen one in model, im thinking of making one myself with an old mf 595 chassis. although i think an mf 135 one would be best.

thanks...........

ive had mine for alot of years, i only have one weight left. didnt see the point in them really.

from what ive seen and encountered if the hurlimans mub perhaps ?20 - ?40.00 max

mub lamborghini ive seen these from ?20 - ?50!!!! in one case.

and the sames mub ?20 - ?50.........

please note i dont know if these are exactly right its what ive seen.

anyone know for sure?

very nice........

wish those days still existed.

well i did pay ?85.00 for my siku r/c j.d

and i think it has to be ?50.00 for the 135, and then it will go ?18.00 for my mb trac..............

no  :D , it was at a carboot a few years ago. he had a few broken britains things in a box and a boxed cultivator and a boxed mf 590, i had heard of 595's but not a 590. so i asked how much and he said ?15.00, and i haggled. and this is coming from a dealer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

from what i can see my 590 has only had its decals changed and the box's  writing, mine is away at the moment though in storage.

its mib and i paid ?12.50!!!!!!!

i have 44 tractors in 1/32

about 10 in 1/67th and matchbox

1 1/16th j.d with trailer

over 70 implements and seven harvesters

and by the end of this month i will have 78 implements and 46 tractors#

thanks....

that set looks sweet, i think next year uh should produce an s series and t series to go with there valtras. theyve made small & big mccormicks, not to hard to make valtras.
