  1. Always well with me mark hope its the same with you !
  2. Ah shame the pics didn't survive the changeover years ago :(
  3. good lord no i just cant justify the expense of buying all those masseys to recreate the amount he has in his yard :laugh: :laugh:
  4. might try to recreate ron greets yard with a few
  5. i think i also said if the model did indeed have steering & a decent hitch i'd take it all back & in recent eveidence i do, but still think there's no excuse for the cab gap nowadays . talking to a few farmer/contractors i deliver to the 1;1 scale NH range isn't that hot either :laugh:
  6. got to admit chap i'm struggling here too , can you quote the bit where anyone has compared these models to the real 1;1 versions Tristopher,Tristopher,Tristopher, you of all people should have known , i'd post something like i have done
  7. just read your post above justin & negative or not this is a forum for toys & models & personal opinions . i think my biggest gripe is how well britains have done with recent models & to have this 'gap' is a great shame , i think i'm also a bit narked that this tractor should have been part of the britains line up when us older collectors wanted them most, ie; when they were part of the mainstream farm lineup in the real world
  8. thank you paul can some one show a pic of the steering arangement & the hydraulics on this new 6600 please , as as far as i'm aware a few years ago the leaps & bounds from the last 30 years left the 'new' 5000 & it's ilk with no steering & a hydraulic lift that wouldn't lift let alone keep it in the air for any length of time eg: the britains JD tracked 84** couldn't even lift the 3furrow reversable plough that my old 6600 could handle easily ,even the original 6600 had steering & that was legacy from it's days as a super major way back from days of yore it also had a lift system that kept implements aloft for as long as you wanted them. if the new 66 has steering & a decent lift arangement i'll take it all back , but the cab gap is an unbeleiveable faux pas in this day & age
  9. in an ideal world ? excuse me, but even back when the original TW20 was released, the later 77 & 56 & the TW35 etc had a single cast cab
  10. really ? i assume the new 66 has no working steering & crappy hydraulic arms ? if so then britains will continue on it's journey .......backwards . real shame britains didn't go to siku as the bottom line is ERTL ruined the britains brand, britains should have been left to go under & to be remembered for the quality brand it once was , britains should have been ERTL's premier flagship brand instead of an unhappy sideshow
  11. the new ford looks to be a great addition to the line up , shame about the join in the cab frame ,it needn't be there at all with modern castings it wasn't there on the old ones so no excuse to be there on a new release . in short, another good model by britains but again let down by an outstanding error with a cab casting. shame really ,what with the last few tractors bought out with the 74?? MF, the C-IH & IH models , the consistancy has gone right out the window with this new bubble cab & that cab has ruined the whole look of the tractor , sorry britains ,what should have been a massive hit has turned out to be an epic fail
  12. very rarely go there graham, they're part of a buying group, so will go to whoever gives them the best deal at any given time , if we do get them , it's usually milled at dorchester
  13. still is mate , with kent, sussex, oxford,henly on thames , high wickam,, hereford & worcester all thrown in for good measure !
  14. robbo re; the same tarus been on the same farm since new , was once the main tractor when it was a dairy farm but now the farm is a small beef unit , so it's duties nowadays are bit of topping,mowing, turning & small bale hay, they have a ford 7840 for the big feeder & round baler & an old david brown & 3cx for the loading mark , yup spoil you rotten ! ah i been here roundabouts keeping an eye on bit's & bobs ! sean , get down there about once a month mate , unless a lifton lorry is headed back down that way
