looks a tidy find rick , something for you to play with perhaps ?

well running or not like barry said investment value alone makes these tractors worth it, but still a fair bit of work involved it getting her all up & running , looks like she's suffering in the cab structure,some pretty big holes there

looks good nathan & that loader will finish it nicely unfortunately the britains bonnet was a little short to be a 6180

this makes an interesting argument well why do we see siku as being a european orientated brand ? admitedly the implements they release is more commonly seen in mainland europe , but the difference between UK spec tractors & euroland tractors is different . More noticeable with the rear hitch, euroland tractors are more commonly fitted with a moveable clevis / drawbar hitch just above the PTO shaft , whereas UK spec is more usually found fitted with an auto-hitch(pick-up-hitch) from what i've seen all siku & UH models & toys are fitted with a UK spec hitch arangement . another thing why do brits not class themselves as european ? i'm a brit & i regard myself as british not european \

not unless he's the other side of the village dan , out of manor towards the village then straight over past the playing field ,but the next farm on the right , cant remember if it's bere farm or if he's actually called beer ? thats the only other one i've delivered to out there, used to do the next further on as well , but not since i've had the artic ,they're big ford / NH users as well arn't they

oh deere lord , Dr tris & nurse udimoore , it's worse than we thought :'( :'(

ricky you're such a tart does it really matter ? as long as they run at about their rating you got to be happy havent you , ? it's not like you're going to be raceing them are you

the duals suit her well mattias job well done ,

well it's like this i see so many conversions here that i want one the same , & it all seem easy as to buy one , then when i calm down i realise , that buying one isn't really the answer i should give it a go & make one , so i have a couple of TW's i'd love to get beefed up , but also would like to get my 8670 looking like anothers on here , also , now i know what the Mc mtx wheels are like i'd quite like to try them on a 2680. sorry mark i often get a rush of blood to the head when i see a conversion done well \

name rings a bell, havent delivered out blackford area for a while . will you go out for a look see at shapwick for some pics ? as they have their own forager dont they ?

stunning set of models mate , top stuff indeed

well it's working up till now , thats not to say the volvo chap is wrong & his engine will go bang tomorrow

hmm.... you could say the going was a bit soft great pics again mate

so how long did it take you to drive the TW home then mark

looks good going dan , was this Mr Coombes at shapwick ?

ad blue hmm i'll tell you what a volvo trained mechanic told me . the ad-blue system is all wired into the electrical nonsence , although ad -blue /amonia stuff does reduce emmissions by effectively dousing the exhaust gasses that is litteraly all it does . When the ad'blue tank runs out , the sensor tells the electric engine management control that all the liquid in the tank has gone , so the electric bits seriously de-rate the engine , giving awfull performance & fuel economy . If however you fill the ad-blu tank back up with ad-blue or water or lucozade even beer the sensor tells the electric bit liquid is back in the tank & so the engine is automaticly brought back up to HP rating , how right this is i dont know . BUT i have talked to hauliers that fill their ad-blu tanks with water only & have had no performance loss what so ever , One of these hauliers runs a 56 plate SCANIA V8 580 with just water in his tank , but soon as the water runs out , the engine performance suffers , to get through his ministry test he did use ad-blu to keep the emmissions down

nice little scene there sean , cant help but think the little ferguson trailer would have been more apt than the box though , but great to see all the same

blimey ! seen some emek stuff at a toy shop i go to , got a few VOLVO FH12 8 legger half pipe tippers & artic units for sale, quite pricey as well i thought . could see it was a larger scale , but without anything to hand to compare size i'm surprised to see the difference is as big as it is

looks well paul , wish you'd have really talked me into that bonnet

aww you've really done it now mark ; looks like i'm actually going to have to buy a big mac to break > ahh well not all bad then :D

i've got a pair of marky's gates , well made look the part

gosh thats a deep hole there garret , got much more to do ?

dont knock the other green kev so does this mean you'll be let loose on the harvester next year ?

would be well up for an 8row planter , but it hought you'd want to see the tractor on skinny duals dusty ? for tyres like that i would imagine seeing a front mounted hopper,12mtr tillage & drill train

still recomend not staining them mark
