Blimey John C thats quite a set up you have there ! I must try harder !! I like what you`ve done with your barns, they look quite the part with a lean-to on each side & the others don`t look out of place without them either. Hope the fuel tank is coming along, i see your using an old BAUER tank ,well after all the amount of machines you`ve got it wouldn`t take long to empty during a busy period ! I look forward to seeing more.
Here`s my bunded fuel tank .

Although it makes a fantastisc model in its own right i think the 600 series cab finishes it perfectly !

NH2 ?;the 5610 decal was marker penned over & was replaced with 7610 with white number transfers bought from boots.The rear wheels are from a cheap New-Ray toy & squared the centers as it`s quite soft plastic & easy to cut.
BGU ; sorry i have no spare ramps, thank you for the good words but really these are not what i`d call conversions just modified i`ll leave conversions to the professionals like DT & FP

Years ago i started converting some britains trucks ,have pulled them out of the atic ,what do you think ? should i carry on with them ? as for the last pic Big wheels ,brown ford 6600 I feel a county754 coming on !
-
Oh yes, its been a FH 900, CLAAS 75, MF 630 & now it`s a NH 819,but hardly a conversion, i built it back in the days when BLU-TACK was king & thats how it`s stayed, NH baler pick up reel blu-tacked to the forager !

That trailer looks very short ,my trailer was taken from the lorry its-self & have no trouble with 4 bales long, unless it`s those daft lades on each end which is the problem !

InternationalMan, is 35 coffin dodger age ? wife calls it SMS ( sad man syndrome ) but the kids think it`s great when i get some of the old timers down from the attic ! I also had the 760 & a 595+ baler & sledge combo for a bday present in 77 but i was at an aunties house without a grain trailer.After a couple of rounds of the carpet,dad said i had to unload into the bale sledge & at seven yrs old this was real farming not imaginary so i apparently cried my eyes out when the imaginary grain spilled out of the sledge & all over the carpet. Adults huh ! As for britains nowadays,well i bought a case mx each for my 2 boys last xmas ,got it home & took it out of the box for interest,put back in box & exchanged them for a siku fendt930 vario & deutz agrotron210, these toys are still in one peice & undamaged whereas the britains would of had to be binned long ago,v dissapointed with todays stuff !

? Hi, i`m a new member & so pleased to have found this site ! I`ve got a MF 590 in the atic which was a birthday present in 76-77? which sat alongside the usual suspects (5000,6600,595,135,DX110 fiat 80-90) So when you`re 6 yrs old its just another tractor with a different No. on it so in the bin went the box & played many a happy hour with it until uncle col got a 590 4wd for real. So i swap the front axles with the fiat( they had the same chassis colour then) & bingo a 4wd 590 + loader untill 3 yr old brother destroys the cab. Cabless for next couple of years till a stanley knife,super glue & a cassette box recreate a rough resembalence to a 500 series cab. The stickers have almost gone completely silver now & is hard to make out any print but if you look hard enough? the number 590? is still there, just, Probably worthless now? but priceless to me !?

I`ve tried most things now & i`m running out of ideas,from real grains of wheat (too big)to sand,(too shiney & gritty) the best i`ve come up with is crushed rice crispies ! Any ideas anyone ?
