This is the dairy unit the silage is for, complete with stockmans Landini

Contractors moved onto the local dairy farm late yesterday afternoon to start silaging. Caught up with them late in the evening at the clamp. The contractors were using a Fendt 718 on the clamp and Fendt 716's and a 930 on trailer hauling. The farmer was out hauling his trailer with his brand new JD 6330.....

Sorted...the manufacturers were L M Bateman website http://www.lmbateman.co.uk/

Sorry about the Dexta I did take a photo of the manufacturers details for the sheep handling system but it's come out very dark, we had very changeable weather and I must have taken some photo's when the rain clouds were around. I was relying on the photo to remind me who the manufacturers were. I'll see if I can enhance it.

And finally a Fendt 930 belonging to a woodland contractor. This had a huge heavy duty flail/scrub cutter on the back....

Some restored tractors......

A Massey Ferguson 6455

Massey Combines new and old.... [

A HiSpec Vacuum Tanker in detail....

The new Claas Axion...this was HUGE and very impressive.....

OK got the hang of Photobucket. The first posting of photos should be viewed bottom to top, didn't realise Photobucket loaded newest first. Couple more implements from KRM.....

First batch of photos form yesterday, more to follow later. Any questions or info needed.....just ask.

Agreed but as others have said I believe there is a very good chance UH will be modelling the Axion. Just need to wait......................

I think you will find that the UH Axion that's been announced is one of their minature key rings. Siku appear to have first rights to model the Axion and the Siku version will be available from Claas soon. Goes on general release 3 weeks after Claas get their's.

Hi and welcome. To add a little info to the set you are seeking. Britains have issued this set many times, each issue has had a different version of Ford tractor. It was produced from 1964 to 1981 and the Reference Number for the sets issued is 9630. I have only one example of this set - a Ford Force 5000 Square Mudguards/Blue + Grey Cab/Auto Hitch but there must be at least 3 further versions available. In the last year various versions of this set have been listed on Ebay and have sold for between ?77-00 and ?135 plus postage.

If you can find me a white Fendt 312 that would be great. Otherwise I'll have to wait a while and see what comes up for sale. I understood each Fendt dealer only got 10 models and they sold out the day.

Yes I've seen the white Fendt, can't get one in the UK yet. If they can sell 3,000 to 3,500 white Fendt's in Germany then I can see no problem in selling 1,500 'Fendt' Deutz. As you say if enough people buy then they will keep being released. The objective of the game is to get money out of our pockets..........

Well we have had various coloured Fendt and Deutz models. It would seeem that Massey Ferguson are next..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIKU-Massey-Ferguson-Landini-Color-komp-UH-BRITAINS_W0QQitemZ120116131229QQihZ002QQcategoryZ84996QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I've ordered one, be good to see what it's actually like in the flesh. Only 1500 made and I suspect a lot of those will be sold in Germany.

Where abouts on amazon.com? What search did you use? Thanks

These models were produce for a French magazine, a part-work. There is quite a few in the series. I've seen some of them and they are quite nice. The scale is 1/43rd and I understand UH will be releasing them as a new standard range in the future.

From what I remember the ploughing match was all a mixture of tractors but mainly vintage, with nothing less than 5/6 years old. In a seperate field were the three modern tractors as pictured giving a demonstration of new tractors and ploughs. Sorry can't recall anymore, at the time I have my 7 year old daughter with me who wanted to go home and nagged till we did. It was the only time the event has been held at Ottery and I wish I could have stayed longer. Also the camera was a film jobby so only took a few photos as cash was tight. Today I'd take several hundred on the digital at the same sort of event.

If it was 1995 the they would have be an N plate. P plate would make it 1996 and R plate 1997.
