Not much but different cab roof I think?

Seen on Toys Farm Facebook page 3 new Replicagri releases: 

Renault 1151-4 4wd

New Holland TM165 (blue/yellow decal)

Same Centauro 4wd

I saw an image of this and I'm a bit baffled by it as the TM115/125/135/150/165 were earlier, 2000 or so, and had just white capital letters on the black part of the bonnet

In 2002, the model designations changed to TM120/130/140/155/175/190 and a new decal style, with only the N and the H capped and and the model number on a white section of the decal and red and yellow flashes.

These same designations were in place when the blue/yellow decals came in in 2004

Perhaps there was a TM165 with blue/yellow stickers in some markets but it still seems odd

Thanks for that Barry, good to know!

I see there's a T8.435 available on the New Holland site that's now €321.30, down from €459 - have the earlier models like the T7060 held their value or is it the case that there's a very limited market for them? @Udimore might know, perhaps?

O Murchús in Innishannon is probably a safe bet if I'm passing before the end off the month.

It sure is, or the Centra in Crossbarry

Hoping to order this soon, just waiting for postage to Ireland.

I used to always love Warner's articles in Farm & Site, Model Tractor and Model Farmer, great to have everything together in the one publication. Such a pity Britains didn't listen to more of his ideas!

Looks good, but - and sorry to be a killjoy - that should be badged as a TW-15 rather than a 25

Brilliant work

Another question coming up to mind; does anyone know if the magazine is viewable correctly on an iPad? I tend to use mine frequently for reading and it would be good if it would work.

 

FNHIR, if I understand it correctly it isn't a magazine like model farmer (albeit online in PDF) but just a website where they add online articles with a few pictures?

That's correct Niels, but from 2003 until about '07 or '08, one month's worth of articles would all be uploaded together, I think it was around the 15th of each month. Clearly more people than me prefer the new way!

I'm still a member but I hardly ever visit the site. I sued to prefer it when the online magazine was released once a month, as you'd remember to check, compared to the situation nowadays when things are added every few days. Might be easier for some but I just prefer the other way. There also seems to be a real decrease in the number of 1:32 features

Welcome, you should post pics of the plant stuff, not enough of that on here!

Does anybody have a phone number for Jon Hardy, maker of DAF model kits?

Emailed Stuart Gibbard re brochures today, I don't think he was thankful when I mentioned his 7810 piece and pointed out that more time had passed between him writing Part 2 of the Ford Tractor Story and the present day than between the launch of the 7810 and the book being written!

The extras are made by custom-builders, I don't think the production model had anything other than what was attached

Thanks Mike

Has anybody got one of these? Are they any different to the CX8090?

I used wheels from Henri Walker for mine http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14395-ford-8100/page__hl__%2Bford+%2B8100

Just to point out, this thread should actually be called Britains 2014 ideas, as the 2013 range is already planned

Apart from the Case Puma and the Ford 8830...

Any pic?

Ertl releasing a John Deere 6210R soon https://www.toytractortimes.com/files/1G5E8-2012ertljohndeerewinterprebook.pdf, presume there'll be a Euro-spec version

Good to see front mudguards anyway, an annoying omission on the UH models

well now its time to share your knowledge, if i get a Britains 7710, add some decent wheel and cab and mudguards from the UH 7810 then i have a TW 15?

I don't think so, but Justy does

FIAT WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The big TW 25,30 & 35 have bigger fuel tanks than the TW 10,15 & 20,thats why the bonnets are longer

I know, I was being facetious to prove a point! I also know the Britains TW-20 was never marketed as 1:34, it was a measuring error, which is why they changed it to a 7710, because it was too small to be a TW!

origainlly the TW 10 and TW 20 was basically the same as the 8700 and 9700, Fords previous high horsepower offerings ok with a slight increase in power, the 7710 was itself a re-vamped 7700 that was a long wheel base, flat floor cab version of the 7600 that was indeed a modified Ford 7000, needless to say the TW series family tree can be traced back to the american built ford 8000 that was modified and improved, while the 7710s tree starts at Basildon in good old blighty with a Ford 5000 and a turbo!!...

I'm sorry, but you're very wrong, the 6700 and 7700 were shortened 8700/9700s, the design of which has no correlation with 8/900 or 8/9600. The 6700 and 7700 may have had the same engine as the 6600 and 7600 respectively, but the design was different.

To go to the original point, the 7810 bonnet was simply an extended 7610 one, the TW-15 one is the same as the 8700/9700.
