The 6820 i drove through the summer was powerquad, it was a lovely tractor, just when on grain carting for long hours frequently shifting it becomes a bit tedious, and on land work you could never get the speed you wanted on the revs you wanted, whereas on a cvt you can choose your speed much more precisely.

No worries mate. P.s. Sorry for going off topic Jordan.

Mmmm, one day, one day

There is that... Reckon i could swap them in for the real ones? I could yield map the garden while i'm mowing it, and perhaps stick one on my bike!

Thanks, not quite up to your level yet mind!

I was looking at 35s not so long ago, they're so expensive for what they are though compared to a grey fergie for instance. i'm now slowly saving up until i find a little John Deere or something that i can look after and polish and clean and take on little runs and yeah you get the idea... I would have thought the price of older Deeres would mainly be down to availability, since John Deere were never really popular in the UK until about the 80s (so i am told), whereas fergies are everywhere, i assume that must be the main reason though, the farm i started out on (the one in the growing up on a farm topic) used to have a grey fergie and a 35, my boss was about my age at the time and he used to do baling and all that on them and everything and even today he says they were lovely tractors to drive, even after all the hours on modern tractors.

Well i've driven John Deere autopowr and New Holland Auto Command, put your foot down with either of them and you'll know about it, rather than having to declutch half way through to change gear

Lincolnshire is mint, we can even have CVT tractors as we have no hills for them to struggle up

Most likely be LFP, they have 6 of them. Can't think who the New Hollands are though. Do you live near Spalding then? P.S. TO ANYBODY READING THIS I DON'T MEAN TO GO OFF TOPIC I JUST GET CARRIED AWAY.

No, i finish school in 2013 and then will go onto college for 2 years until 2015. They love any vegetables around here, and flowers too. Tulips, cabbages, pumpkins, fair few spuds as well, and they have some hellish big kit on it, for instance you know where the mcdonalds is near the show at the roundabout? The field behind that had spuds in it which were lifted by a four row ploeger self propelled spud harvester on tracks. Impressive stuff.

Ahh i know, 2 years at college after that, so bring on 2015 when i can finally wave bye bye to anything with even a slight resemblance to a classroom

I'll do it tomorrow or Wednesday night, i'm half way through 2 lots of Geography homework and making notes for an essay ready for wednesday so i can't really be bothered \

There was one at Spalding, not sure if anybody noticed the price of it? It was on a foreign stall so the prices were in Euros though.

Screws all over it mate, that's why i'd like to know rather than using trial and error and undoing every screw around the cab.

Can anybody tell me how i get the cab off this model? (The artic one this is, not the tracked one) as I want to put a driver in it for a diorama. Many thanks, Josh.

As Jordan says they look really good, not so sure about selling them though.

Oh dear. I moved house in March this year, packing your models is the worst job going, especially the delicate ones, thats why now i keep the boxes for all the UH, Wiking etc that are easily broken and then just wrap the other ones up in tissue and that.

Forgot my camera see

Either way it was a good decision!

Bought these back from Spalding. This now brings my collection up to 24 1/32 tractors.

FIRST ONE OFF THE MARK! I battered my wallet using: Wiking John Deere 6930 Wiking John Deere 7430 + loader Siku John Deere 7430 on duals Britains John Deere 9530 Britains John Deere 9530T Britains John Deere 8345RT

I love it! I thought about doing one without the loader and that, but decided against it in the end, does look good though!

Said on the radio earlier something about it being hotter here today than it is in Miami

Ahh nahh the one with the front loader is a 430 i think, it's the lower hp/lower spec version which i think replaced the Axos, but the 640 is it's bigger brother and has a different design and has controls on the armrest, hexashift gearbox and all the other gadgets etc, still in the Arion range just different designs and the 400s are a bit smaller
