Or the actual picture

Perhaps this was the base model for the County - it looks like it's a Dutch machine (I think) http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/006/8/8/6889-county-1884-photos.html

So do we think the CR9090 is going to have an opening grain tank lid then?

I'd like to see those County tires on the back axle of the TW as well. - they look great.

Funny that no one seems to be making the TW-35....yet anyway!

Hopefully a blue 8970 will make it onto the list this year.

I think I'll wait for the Marge version anyway

I'm sure it will get chunkier boots by its release

Can someone just remind what it was about wheels and the 12m vario again......

Is anyone not making a case quadtrac?

Just to clarify then, does the lack of Ford TW25 model mean Uh are now not releasing this? Also, no sign of the heavily speculated Ford 7610 - perhaps they are going to give Marge some breathing space!

I'm finding all these black and silver versions really boring now....

Hopefully they will also adjust the size of the cab step gantry as it looks like it was made for the dual front wheel version.

I'd be interested - although depends a bit on timing etc

1st week of Feb for the Kane's is my understanding.

Lexion 770TT for me

The 1455 looks like a mock up to me - I reckon the final version will be better

Finally a JD SG2 machine! Brilliant news. I hope it's 1/32 scale!

I'm pleased Marge are doing the bigger Fords. The 7610s are simple brilliant models and so hopefully will these. Those front head lamps look interesting - square profile is definitely more unusual then the round ones. But will help make it a bit different so I'm not complaining. I wonder if they will also do a County. Perhaps also explains why UH are doing the TW25 and not the 35.

Perhaps 10 people who take a year each to give an index of last 10 years? We have 3 here already so just need another 7 volunteers...prob worth Rory defining the categories for the index up front to ensure they are all consistent. I'm happy to do any year - but I only have back issues for the last year!

Does anyone know if there is an index of articles (like Profi magazine does) for Classic Tractor magazine i.e. by machine/mfr and which mag they appeared in?

Chris - which dealer was this from in East Anglia - did they have many in stock?

Prices are up on G&M and look very reasonable - 32.50 for the TW/8830 and 34 for the County. Anyone offering to put some bigger boots and front mud guards on the 8830 - I'd be keen as mustard for this and would do myself if I wasn't so cack handed!?

Marge models 7610 - amazing detail, quality and colour. Really impressed by it.

I have an 8R version of both and the Siku is bout 3mm lower and also about 3mm longer (front to back) than the Britains/Ertl - so it is definitely shorter and fatter. The Britains model has a nice curved back window whereas the Siku is flat. Which one has the right dimensions though I'm not sure! Overall, the Siku is definitely the better model of the two in my opinion.
