hey Rich, yeh I was tempted by a 2680, but just picked up a MF595 Mint without box on eBay, i reckon 88bhp should be enough to drag the forager! plus a 595 was on my wish list... I'm tempted to redo the yard, and change to a concrete effect floor with just a tractor shed on, getting a bit short of room for my implements! then I'd like to do some fields, brown for a soil effect, for ploughing, harrowing seeding spreading etc and then grass effect for bailing and foraging. get some better pictures that way, for FTF competitions, rather than just using the carpet. hopefully when the snow goes away! Yeh, Smithy I like the more vintage machinery, I think the newest item of britains I own is the 362... Alex

I was thinking that Rich, i'm sure a suitable MF will appear on eBay.... So I was getting a lot of calls asking if i did fencing repairs, I decided to invest in a post hole driller...

you have done a very good job repairing that, considering how it looked when it arrived!! Royal fail are useless... I can't believe they are denying your claim.... saying that our postman is very good.... I (touch wood) haven't had a broken parcel yet! Alex

Hi all, found my old farmyard in the loft from "when I were a lad". Decided to model my collection around a contractor for smallholders, so all I need is a yard, but for diorama purposes I'll knock up a couple of fields to pretend to work at some point... Over view of the yard, So I've got a MF362, here it is being collected on the salop trailer on the back of the 90: Heres some pictures of the MF362 earning its keep, on contracted jobs: Doing some ploughing and harrowing and manure spreading for a local allotment: Sowing a crop of grain for a local organic smallholding: Mowing for hay/silage, for a livery yard: tedding and swathing for hay/silage MMM silage foraging, i was contracted in by a farmer, the 362 didn't enjoy itself at all: think i need to visit Johny MF's Massey dealership after that one! Still, i got to keep the forager and trailer... Hay baling for the livery yard: Heading back with the bales: delivering some topsoil to the allotments: small: Larger: larger2 more to come.... comments and criticisms welcome Alex

its a possibility for me! 1h45mins away in the car and I'm on holidays from Uni.... Alex

oh yeh! can't wait to see them:)

goonius is my ebay username

anticipation of a brace of eBay wins arriving tomorrow!. Finally finishing an essay for university that i have struggled with for a week.... Alex

fixing up a Britains manure spreader: Missing a drive cog Bamfords BL58 Baler: needs a new rubber band and tail board a MF362 undergoing cosmetic improvements, the beginnings of a contractor firm, for smallholdings Alex

Absolutely superb. I'm majorly jealous! I look forward to more updates, Alex

thanks for the reply, I'm pondering what to get next... Alex

it would appear that i killed the topic by posting pictures of a JD! so Got a link box, with a broken tail gate, never mind.... it was a bargain... and a manure spreader, which i believe is missing a cog (see photo), any ideas where i can get/ make one? and a Bamfords BL58 baler, I need to replace the rubber band (see photo) on that one.... let me know your thoughts/ suggestions Alex

hey I live in Leicestershire too, when I'm not at uni.... welcome to the forum:) Alex

Well in this afternoons post (bloomin' snow!) i got 2 new parcels of Britains related goodies! first off this rather handsome 2wd Jd 4020, look at that happy chappy Siku JD overalled driver! (apologies to those who prefer the MF35x, but it just wasn't britains implement compatible) here it is Mowing the living room carpet with the britains disc mower Tedding the carpet with the britains lely tedder At the mention of a ploughing contest! well, here it is with a britains 3 furrow plough, it best happen now! straight and true And because it came in the same auction as the plough, a britains tipping trailer... lots more to come, let me know your thoughts Alex

oh yeh christmas money is going down fast, I got some good deals I think though.... hopefully some will arrive today Alex

yeah no worries I can regulate my finances just fine! Pictures when (if) they arrive... I'm keeping my eye on a couple as I paid yet I haven't received feedback or a postage notification.... Alex

i don't follow sorry? anyway, happy new year to you all, i'm off out to get absolutely gazeeboed... speak to you all next decade alex

thank you very much Tractorman810 I mentioned in my first post that i had ordered one (i got this one http://www.pma32.fr/index.php/english/produits/Accessories/Others/Set-relevage-44.html if any one is interested... is something available that allows the use of britains implements? or am I going to have to look at my second favourite vintage tractor? (JD4020 from britains) More good news, I have some implements on the way to me, as they say watch this space! Thankyou all very much for the replies... Alex

thanks flash, i think the 35x looks good too, I'm a bit disappointed by the rear hitch though! Not quite sure what to do about it... Still things are looking hopeful on the Link box and Baler front Alex
