Welcome back Luke, you'll never try leaving again I hope. The powers that be work in mysterious ways you know. There's no escape! Remapping model tractors, eh? That'd be a Micro Chip...... Shall I get my coat?

That International precision and the spreader look Luke very nice models, Erik.

Been on straw haulage most of the week wheat straw from one farm, spring barley from another both to the same customer over Bristol way, 76 bales on the lowloader. Theen after that today, back to the yard for the boys to load me up for the Cheffins run tomorrow while I went and loaded 400 conventional straw bales on one of the trailers by hand! All go down 'ere I can tell thee!

Wow, Mike! That's a few quids worth, any plans for any of them at all?

Classic, absolute classic

Nice, bet that bonnet took some work!

The thing is, the changes will go right back to the tooling design, although we see the bad end result, this is the end of a long process, all of which is now defunked. For us it's a hobby, no big deal. For them it's business and a mistake on one model must cost a fortune but to get this many wrong in one hit is a huge balls up. I'd love to know what gets done about it. I'd have loved to have seen the faces of the production team when the feedback started coming in!

Graham that first photo is an absolute beauty!!!

There will always be work in waste, good move. Where there's muck, there's money as the saying goes. Who I work for just bought a Case MXM140. It's a 2004 model with just under 5k hours on the clock (if it's genuine), front He-Va linkage and pto, 4 spools and then the usual of air con, air seat, passenger seat, only 40k of course. Pretty tidy all round condition for £15k. Doesn't seem too bad, it's only a TM after all so it's well proven and parts should be in abundance if required.

Erm.... Are these all computer generated artistic impressions? I want every one of those but not one of them looks right!!

Glad I picked up mine for A THIRD of the price!!! Still, only the first example after my own that I have seen in this condition. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261037643402?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Oh and for me today it was the usual shopping for the fridge and cupboards and then we got on with DIY in yep. . ... the front bedroom! Got lots done and even got the planed oak ready to make the door for the back bedroom Oh found a new smiley page

Good wrecked or shattered wrecked?!!

Bright lad, you are Pat. Thinking about fail safes and uni applications, thinking ahead.... All that bodes well already mate. Good on you, infact..... bloody good on you.

Sorry to hear of Franks ill health recently, Sean and his passing. I know you'll be a rock for Sue and your other family members but don't forget to take time out yourself and give yourself time too. You know where I am buddy

Thanks Joe. Not making it down there this year, work and erm.. work!

Thanks Joe. Not making it down there this year, work and erm.. work!

Did you build your trees or did you buy them? I like them lots! Very nice buildings, you do a very nice job

Oh and a McConnel Rhino 9 topper, dead easy to produce I'd have thought

They're in fine condition, I assume they had no boxes? Amazing that if they had no boxes they had still be kept so pristine.

Oh great. Just when I thought I only needed the Python to complete the series of Norscot Challengers.....

Top man, Pat A new business venture on the horizon possibly or is this just to be utilised at home/work? Pat. Mummy Maker.

What model was that and do you know how early they appeared?

You're not wrong there! I havn't done anything for months
