Last one for today

Any comments welcome.

Thought I might start a topic showing my collection. Ive been wanting to start one for a while but didnt really like taking pictures of the brochures so now I've got a scanner I thought I better get on with it.

I have 9 folders full of brochures, each with an average of 30 brochures within them so it will take a while to upload them. Im starting with my tractor and self propelled machine brochures, of which I have 4 folders full.

Off we go:

Sorting out day today. First went to sort out some sponsors for my college 24 hour ploughing marathon and then sorting out my new printer/copier/scanner. seems to be working well.

Passing my PA1 test this morning.

It looks very similar to my new Martson trailer.. no surprise really I guess. Mine is a 30ft bed.. and it looks to be a bit longer than Mart's version... so I'd say it looks to be about 25ft to me

My guess as well judging by the number of bales

New Holland T7.210 union flag with Claas front and side mowers

Fendt 312 with Claas Liner rake

Valtra (not sure which yet) with Pottinger forager

Massey Ferguson 7480 with Kane silage trailer

New Holland TM155 with Kane silage trailer

New Holland TS135A with Marston silage trailer

Valtra T191 reverse drive with buckrake

Not much driving to be done at home over the half term so I've been on vehicle washing the past two days. Yesterday was the TM and today was the L200. Not sure what tomorrows plans are but one of our cows is having an operation so no noisy pressure washing for sure.

Not sure if its really classed as a purchase but spent a fair bit of money recently. £151 for my PA1 and PA2 tests and £120 for my telehandler test.

Over the last few days:

International 434

Nuffield 10/60

New Holland T7050 and T6070 with loader

Massey Ferguson 5455 with Bomford Hedgecutter

John Deere 6R series

And a Fendt 716 that I was driving the other day.

Excellent addition's Tommy .....I must say I do like the County tractor's

Cheers Bill. Must admit that im also quite a fan of county tractor's and look forward to getting my hands on the UH and MarGe miniturisations.

Back on the topic of real versions, heres a few pictures of a mates forestry model. This ones still in its working clothes.

Still believe that I've got some more pictures lurking somewhere else though.

The 2 new tractors that will be arriving on the lackham college farm soon: a Massey Ferguson 6480 and one of the models from their new 7000 range. I belive both will be fitted with RTK guidance systems and Autosteer but not sure if that will be a MF product or another brand. I believe the guidance system that the students use is also going to be upgraded to use the RTK signal and an Autosteer feature may also be fitted to one of the 'workshop' tractors. And dont worry Massey fans, I'll get some pictures when they arrive. I can also get some pictures of the older models that run around the workshops if anyone wants to see them?

Thought I might add the few County pictures that I've taken

1884 and 1004 taken at the Headington and Stockly steam rally a few years ago

Short nose 1474 and 1884 at Shepton Mallet tractor show of 2010 or 2011

And an 1184 from Lamma 2012

Might have some more somewhere else so I'll have a look around and get back to you all.

Is this the only Ros new release that you know of then Atte?

Hutchinsons field wise. You can get market updates and you can calculate seed rates, spray rates etc.

People on my college course. Half of them dont seem to be bothered to listen to any of what we get told, then moan when they get good marks on their assignments. They disrupt the lessons for the rest of us and some of them act as though they feel that, because they have worked for a contractor, that they are better than us and try to make us feel bad about it. Although some of them are on pretty thin ice so it may get better soon.

I think I will be buying a lot more Schuco this year :

I think the same is going to apply with me. Definatly looking forward to the 4955 and the 1455 might be a choice as well.

Came back from Lamma the other day with 64 more brochures. It didnt go down very well at home but my excuse was that we were told to get some brochures on telehandlers, mounted sprayers and fertiliser spreaders for our college coursework, which seemed to neuteralise the situation quite well.
