You should be a bit worried if you have mice in your house!

I think its right up there with the new Ares for ugliest tractor yet
-
You could sell it to the rest of us or put it up on ebay

If the 1884 were to be re-released & look genuine then apart from being blue the cab roof would also have to be changed for a bubble cab type as ive never seen a real SQ cabbed roof version .
There is one, the last one. It was made for British Steel. Later it was kitted out for forestry work by Wilsons
There is also another one that has had its cab changed for a super-Q. I think the Q looks better though

Aah fairly do`s !
??? ???OK ploughmaster I'll take your word for it, you always seem fairly Knowldgeable about things like this

Sorry to dig up this post again but ploughmaster says that everyone who bought a Ford in 1989 was given an exact replica of their tractor. Personally I dont think this is exactly accurate as any of these models that I have seen have been of a super-Q tractor of approximately '4 cylinder' dimensions. I have never seen any AP cabbed ones or small ones like 3610s and the like. I reckon myself that all the models were the same except for the unique registration number engraved on each. Anyone else have any more thoughts?

Brilliant setup blueford. Did you make the press rings yourself?
-
Get the Siku Claas Rollant 250, when you put the old Britains bales in it it holds the door open about half an inch and it looks like your just about to leave out a bale. Plus its a good model in itself too.

Not my pic, pulled it off this site a few months back.

If you bought the kit you could probably paint it whatever colour you like.

Imagine the value of some of the stuff in the top picture now! I see a Powerfarm County, several Powerfarm Fords and a couple of Lambourghinis!

Ford 5000 or New Holland 1530, the most popular combine in my area, one guy has 5!

surprised that none of the field was subsoiled before this next time i see the farmer i'll ask why
When you plough on-land you dont cause as much compaction as when the wheels are in the furrow bottom. Maybe thats why it wasnt subsoiled.

Was just thinking about this today, watching my uncle buck up silage with a S111 AP 7610
;D. Might try making one in a while form plastic card in a while when I'm finished my other projects, since we have an AP 6610 ourselves. -
Any more on the Moffet history?

I preferred the MF nose fenboy, though that was pretty ugly too!!!
;D -
If you use ebay.com that happens automatically

Hey Stan what a coincidence, my parents are really friendly with the people who own that, in fact they have two! They live up in Laois and used to draw the beet straight into the factory with them using extended cut down council lorries (theyre great men for the cut down lorries!). The '1200s' are indeed based on truck units with the massey tinwork stuck on top. They still have the truck gear lever sticking up through the floor!! They even still have the air brakes and can do the same speed as the original truck.
We went to see them after Fingal during the summer, and I got a few pics so I will try to get them up next week. The guy was saying that the only reason they got away with them taxed as tractors is because they never did hire work, only their own haulage, so the local guards and hauliers turned a blind eye. They still use them for the beet and towing a low loader with a digger
