Good kit schw! You must be a very handy bunch with a welder and drill. 

Very impressive.

Just needs an on-board engine now 

You could just use the old yard tractor and some long hoses 

You could always scrounge some real silage wrap..........sticks better than clingfilm 

Ditto! Looks really good. 

That'll lift the bags to one helluva height!

Looks really good with the new pins too.

Does it say Marky Ferguson on the side decal??

Found bins on this US site.

They are 1/64 but wondered if the largest would pass as a 1/32. Corrugations perhaps too small.

Good pics FP! Must be light ground if that old thing can pull discs and rolls.  ;D

Snowed most all day here too, but it's not really lying.

We had one on our farm about 10 years ago i suppose and to be honest in my dads words "it was unreliable tractor barring the zetor that he ever drove" 

Didn't bother me as i loved it 

OT, but a neighbour only has two Zetors (14145s ?) both turboed to 145 and 160 hp. They run like sewing machines. If they do break down, they are easy to fix but bloomin rough and noisy to drive 

Stewarts make a pretty good stock box!

That's a really tidy 7810.........only criticism I would have is they were relatively light on front end, but went OK. 

Great pics and good taste in tractors. 

Pretty good! Looks dead right with those wheels. 

Good pics again FP.

Stoopid question, but where do all those carrots go?

Two nice models.....the 4wd looks good as it's got the 'length' the the 399s had.

They pass as Jerseys........very nice 

Cab steps have dropped off too..

Another nice one!

Aren't NZ tractors always nice and clean? Probably 'cos they don't do a lot of work.............

The straw is barley straw I just bale and fill a couple of sheds with (about 900 bales) then sell at this time of year, usually makes a little cash. Most of it goes across to the west coast (I'm on the East) about 130 miles.

The wagon is an owner operator who deals in straw at this time of year and he's got a DAF which is getting a bit hard up!

(Pic for mjb  )

Don't do any small bales I'm afraid........the gear gave up years ago and I didn't replace it, just went on to rounds.

The 526 (dare I say it) has been v. good, just a couple of hub seals and a water pump, and now at 4800 hrs.

Lab has a real flair for being in the wrong place at wrong time 

Went up north this week and saw a Challenger with a 3 ton trailer out fencing  ;D

Here's a couple from today with my trusty old 526. Wagon + drag takes 72, 4' x4' bales which comes out at around 14 tonnes. Took about 2 hrs to load and strap. 

Oh the storys I could tell about case rotory combines  :o

Like others say it each to his own.The MF 750 combine I've been driving has been runing sweet as a nut but others say they are pure rubbish so go figger hey. \

I think the early rotary combines did not cope with UK climate well and tended to get a bad name. Things have improved recently. 

I do think that if you look around you will see a lot of 20+ yr old Class and NH combines but fewer other brands....... as FP says, go figger
