both the 56 & the 77 were 4cyl, the silver jubilee was a 6cyl

simply stunning

does she sit level with that axle on it sean ? & is that the plastic cap on the casting pin ? the decals look very good mate , i'll fit them for the day

you got ladyfarmer there helping you mark ? looks fantastic mate :)

thanks for that marky & good to see the members thoughts on what they thought of the model & the real deal . britains 2680; the model in my eyes was one of the best tractors britains ever tried to recreate , the scale was spot on & was well built , sheme they went cheap & used white plastic instead of carrying on with the grey & decided not to include a glass insert , other than that it was a good cast that worked well into the 36series , models , just a shame britains didn't spend a bit more to get the cab & floorpan right MASSEYS 2680; have driven the 2640 2680 & the 2720, spent more time on the 40 really 2wd & 4wd equally but they're much of a muchness really, big purposefull tractors , which will take a fair bit of punishment ,albeit slow & cumbersome . not really any slower that any other 30K tractor but sat high up & such a large tractor , gave the feeling of plodding clumsiness, cant agree with marky on the cab as althoug it was large , it didnt feel all that big , good point was that a good size cantelever toolbox could be slid in beside the left hand side of the seat quite comfortably. best suited for heavy applications given it's weight , & a good ploughing tractor , & in a 2wd with hedge trimmer it just sits there on any slope giving confidence to the driver that on sideling ground it's not going to go over too easily , even on steep ground it's heavy enough to not run away down the hill ! as for a place to spend the day , it's still a nice place to be

likeing the 1837 baler , thought about investing in one of those when the MF No3 broke , but couldnt find one for sale fer love ner money so ended up with an ex demo No4

very nice mark , you strugling for ideas yet ?

not yet rick , you've found some real gems there mate :)

likeing that mate , a lick of paint will transform it :) what's a shizzle is that young people talk is it ?

bit of an attention seeker is he :D you sure gav as i had a black pipe version with the hollow drum type reel , long gone now though

oops , yes yer right jas , it is indeed a tims unit \

maybe the siku one would be better for this project, as the base model has solid sides to the reel , the britains one doesn't http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=8965.0

OMG what a beauty :P

link please

have you finished it then dan ?

i think it probably has some writing in reverse on it so when a slow driver looks into his rear view mirror it will read 'warning this driver has a severe shortage of patience' :D

Ben i think it's called a 'because you can't reverse for toffee it will move your car further into the hedge as i cant get past you without hitting my fastrac ' bar :D

outstanding trailer MBT, have you ever tried a teagle titan ?

no just bens address :D

of course you do realise rick that when marky comes over to see you , you'll have to carry him around after the first hour :D :D nice pics :)

drove to monmouth to deliver 18tons of blended meal , no problem usualy but today the bin filled before i'd finished , so off to see farmer & he said . to start emptying bin intoa trailer , but as he was milking , could i take the trailer up ! so had a drive & a mess about with a renault 640 & loader , first time on a tractor for nearly a year !

this has been on my mind sinse i modified it to be a 2wd mate , just never got round to a re-spray , this ones not as good as i hoped it might be , due to not having the right spray can still turned out ok though

c'mon then steve lets have a few highway tractors from your workshop

these particulay tyres came from an old britains redland loading shovel , but i think the later bauer vac tankers also had them
