large barn cartshed 95f

this is a family of vredos with a vervaet

i have bought the conrad Aebi tractor, on ebay from germany,

it sais it is 1/32 and it looks to be correct , it is a super model with pivoting front linkage, 4 wheel steer and even an opening door to the cab , someting a little different.

we have a contractor down here that uses one of these for highway verges and embankments.

it was possible to order a valmet hitech a nd mega tractors fitted with an extra fuel tank on the side which doubled the capacity , this was a popular option with contractors in this area , our own M130 also has the twin tank option , most Valmets were also built to a customers own spec , as they make to order except a few demo and stock tractors

a jones lifter like that is also used here in Cornwall by a friend who grows daffodil bulbs, its very big to get around our lanes !

i can find brochures on them if you like and we have loads of real  titan trailers around here still if you want photos or measurements as i am only 20 miles from the factory !

let me know , would be very interested in a trailer if you made them.

simple answer , yes

just been on the agritec/ros website , it sais they have new Same, Deutz, Lamborghini and Hurlimann models coming out in early 2007 , does anyone know what they will be ?

the grass harrow looks perfect , anyone know when it will be available??

scrap claas foragers , ertl jd forager and britains sprayer ,

could do with a bigger set of booms now !

Chafer Mistral sprayer built a few years ago by Steve Harris 

yes , i have several , would find them if you are interested in any photos.

not sure why they did it this way , but i have never seen any others made like this

i keep looking !!!

Hi Britfarmer

hope you find these interesting ,

the plastic version never had a crook in his hand .

I have collected lead and plastic figures for about 10 years ,

my favourites are the Herald animals and the buildings made by Hugar for Britains in the 1930s.

Mengele sh40 forage harvester ,

made by Nigel Green several years ago , i think he only ever made 2 or 3.

this looks very common , but is very unusual as it is made of black plastic with the white painted on ,

they are usualy white plastic as i am sure you know ,

bought from a dealer in plastic figures about 5 years ago

made out of plastic but from the lead moulds , very rare and hard to find

one for you Britfarmer

only made in 1972

couple more

Just thought some of you may like to see the Ploeger viner next to the FMC viner ,

they make a great team !

Hi Britfarmer,

you may already have it but there is also a book called,

suspended animation, an unauthorised history of britains and herald plastic figures

by Peter Cole

a very good book on the history of all the figures , with dates of production etc, listed

i also collect lead and plastic farm figures and it always amazes me how many variations are out there,

if i get some spare time i could post some photos , let me know if there is anything you are interested in.

back again , just remembered also have a 5 leg Simba by Keith Price , have you seen that before ?

thanks for letting me know what the grinder is for , you solved a mystery!

i have had the 7 leg Cousins sub soiler for about 6 years. it is made by R and M Cooper.

i also have a 7 leg trailed version to pull behind artic tractors without any link arms.

will photo if you are interested , but wont be until weekend as i am away for a funeral for the next couple of days.
