good one erik there's another worth looking at colm try the valmet 8100 contractor i knew was running a valmet , & like mant others in the area never really took them at the time as a serious threat to the massey ,fords & C-IH dealers ,that was till i got a job driving one seriously impressed , mine had the delta box & the VME engine is bombproof as well , great weight distribution, short wheelbase (good for loader work) a comfortable cab & easy to work with well worth looking at mate

did you bet him a pound he couldn't top the field gav not any easier having worn tyres either mate

i wouldn't expect a wiltshire heathen to know but for your info mate , i'ts roughly translated from days of yore, when the regions were wessex,essex & sussex etc, when king alfred started the uprising against the saxons he called on all the good people of somerset thus roughly translated as sumorsaete ealle, & no thee'm knos sno

i currently have 1 BRITAINS TR 85 1 BRITAINS CX 880 1 BRITAINS JD 9880i 1 TIMS LEXION 480 ? 1 SIKU FENDT ****? 2 SIKU MF 7278 5 BRITAINS MF 760'S :)

all done now then chris do you have trouble getting parts for your combine ?

repair ! would be easiers to save the sides & rebuild the floor by the looks of it mart :D & as for pics of the new tractor , bla , bla ,bla, mate we want updates of the 698, c'mon man get it cleaned up , washed & a bit of back to black in the cab ,lets see her all up n running , you know proper tractors not these new fisher-price plastic things

thats a poor excuse mark , i'm more inclined to think Ethans getting quicker & poor ole dads getting slower :D running circles round you is he mate

a stunning conversion of a plain model

dankt Stefan, maar mijn Nederlands allen komt uit een vertaalprogramma! ik houd enkel van een inspanning te leveren. verrassend hoeveel onderwerpen van niet Engelse leden, maar jammer genoeg post in hun eigen taal, zodat zijn lever ik een inspanning om het een vertaalprogramma voor andere leden door te nemen om de onderwerpen te waarderen meer:) nochtans vertaal ik elke post niet! i think

you feeling alright dan ? looks bang on doesn't it marky so what has he asked you to convert for his 410 then paul ?

any updates on this build jas ?

het onthaal aan het forum stefanb, hoopt u hier van uw bezoeken: zeer geniet) verheug me op het zien van uw inzameling & de echte tractoren & machines u met: werkt) zoals voor uw Engels? het kijkt fijne partner, maar ik moet toelaten enkele engelstalige leden met onze eigen taal worstelen: D: D welcome to the forum stefanb, hope very much you enjoy your visits here look forward to seeing your collection & the real tractors & machinery you work with as for your english ? it looks fine mate , but i must admit some of the english speaking members struggle with our own language :D

sometimes i just wish i was you dan yet another quality trailer with a quality finish , job well done mate about time you had a dozen or so of each for selling at spalding & toytrac isn't it ?

of course there is tris, he doesn't know it yet but he's going to do mine , as it's in the post to him as we speak !

:D never really considered doing it that way round to be honest , a few times i've wondered about fitting siku tyres to a britains wheel though

well i'm surprised you even tried it what with all the rain you've had & by the looks of it your ground looks quite marshy, a quick walkround & the feel of the condition underfoot would have told you all you needed to know , but there you have it , looks like a good afternoon was spent trying to get it free no doubt :D

simply stunning effect you have created Feli, not overdone & the detail on your ploughs give it a very genuine look :) surprised not to see a 5 furrow plough hitched to that tractor

ah is it like the conversion that FP did a while back & the bodywork & cab can be straight swapped from chassis to chassis ? have still yet to try this

well done sue i think the Lilliput Vale Heritage Park makes a stunning addition to you collection. Am very much looking forward to where your imagination goes & hope that none of us get left behind

nice work paul , the change of wheels can really make a difference to a model, the siku front linkage looks a good addition as well

yeah even though they're not real ,he'll still haggle on the price good peice of work you done there paul , quality stuff as usual

how could i forget ! the 6.05 commander was a real pocket rocket , again handles a 5Frev comfortably, i used to pull a 3 leg flat lift working at about 20in's with this one , as long as it was weighted down it would pull well , & unlike it's bigger 6cyl brothers was quite agile on the loader . not used a 6.06 so cant comment , but i think the difference again between the 6.05 /06 was the cab . again the trouble is going to be finding one , all the deutz i drove were for a contractor & all had high hours , but very rarely put a spanner near them. the 630 (B reg) i used was bought 2nd hand & had over 20,000hrs & the poor 470 the main loader had a fair few more than that . in all the fleet had 6806c, 7807c, 2x 450 2wd, 470+ loader , 605commander + loader, 3x 630, muir hill B3000 loader & class695 mega forager & 2 deutz combines , unfortunately familly problems split the farm & contracting up , but i know they did operate the newer deutz after the 630's went

thanks chap , will try that at sometime

as said in many posts colm , i'm a bit out of touch with the more modern stuff , but if i were to go TOG then i would deffinately be looking at a DEUTZ 630, they hold a presence that not many get near, 125 hp for a heavy old bus , that is both quick & agile , & when yer working full bore you got to have that front window open , believe me you will smile , trouble is you very rarely see them for sale , most people who have them seem to keep them \ if you can find one go for the 12 gear multispeed , if you're looking to put a loader on then maybe a gain the 12 gear multispeed 470 is more like it , amazing tractors & used to pull a 12tonne collins trailer quite comfortably , any more than that though & would be pushing it , & although it looks squat & basic , the diamond cab isn't a bad work place to spend the day anything newer than these tractors though i know very little about , but from what a friend has told me it was basicly a cab change , everything under the tinwork was the same

err................. well you certainly wouldn't lose it on a dark night would you \
