Nice tractor, found the following in a brochure it may help to explain SLE

SLE.pdf

was this tractor available for sale in the USA when launched then?

thanks for posting it does help to clarify some of the options that were available anyway

I would like to know a bit more about this tractor if anybody has any information it would be appreciated.

I have seen a brochure and from what i can recall the E stood for economy, non adjustable link ends,no assist rams, no dual power no draft control? some of the above would be optional i suggest? Was the tractor sold in UK only?

i find the same, why are they going so much in these auctions?

is this a difficult brochure to source?

is this a difficult brochure to source?

Just wondering what does the M and the X stand for in the above?

i attach another image, a bit more detail from an original brochure

this post may assist you

i believe so...top of the class sir

thanks for the reply ...i recall reading that it did stand for two wheel drive....now another chestnut for me is HY-MAC ...many people may not know what it stands for...well maybe many people do know ...lets see!

what does TW stand for?

I have been collecting models for 30 years or so in a small way ..i have about 500 but that includes some 150 plant and machinery ... I try and collect plant and tractors which are mint and boxed only..britains, conrad, nzg, dp, scaledown, brian norman, mosly but i have had to cut back a lot in the past 5 to 6 years ...even losing a bit of interest as i have drifted back into collecting quality brochures of 70s 80s tractors ....have a small collection for 30 odd years ...200 brochures or so which has expanded a lile...for me it is the classics which i drove....i like to attend the shows and look but of course like many of you on here i can not resist the model of a tractor i drove in my youth...the real joy for me in collecting for some time now therefore is a quality top spec  piece ...just a few thoughts

a few more

a few from my collection

thanks powerrabbit, your post is very informative indeed

thanks for the info....very informative indeed....the reason i asked is that i came across the example in the link posted above    ....i though it was maybe quite difficult to source maybe...i attach my copy[brochure] of the same  model i believe....  i would like to know how to work out the published date please if anybody can help....are there other versions of this 1210 4wd tractor brochure i wonder ?  thank you

anybody know anything about the attached brochure please

a photograph from an orignal brochure [uk] ....is this tractor in the brochure the tractor being represented by the scaled model?

and another one

i found this information on a finnish site and translated it using google translater ...it may be of use

i am storing my brochures in plastic sealable boxes at the moment, no folders etc  The main reason for this is lack of storage space. I have not sealed the boxes though allowing air to circulate. As i have been scanning also [pdf],about 4GB so far at 300dpi [per page] at the moment i can view any brochure i wish at short notice.  This also means i do not handle any materials when viewing a brochure. It takes a lot of time to scan material of course. I have backed up all my scanned material so far.  I still need to make a jpeg copy of each cover which would be of assistance in identifing what version of a brochure i have.  I expect that many members have a similar method but i would be interested to know what these methods of storage are and what their comments if any are on electronic storage of complete collections.

thanks for that
