Thank you everyone for all your kind wishes and otherwise (Marky!!) - does this mean I'm now 'father of the forum'? 

Roboplops don't count as he's 'over there'. 

Been busy recently....

wont be cheap, but worth getting for the convo, will look good on say the 3125 on the 3 point hitch

Would paint up as a Bomford coil tine or the Massey equivalent (23?) . It would take the 3125 to pull it. 

Interesting Sean 

There was one round here years ago but can't remember much about it.

I found this on the web, if it helps. 

Looking good Mart - I've been at that job today too. 

Lovely pics of the older Fords. Also impeccable taste in combines. 

A good day out Barry 

I did that tour many year ago after I got the first JCB - I think things have changed a bit since then. We went out to their farm nearby to see the gear working in muck and cultivation as well.

All the wee details just finish that shed off. The night scene looks pretty bloomin' good too

Beautiful new arrival Sean.    The farm's looking well too - very smart. 

Just had a catch up in here - lovely models and a very tidy farm 

A superb model and beautifully detailed. I too would like to see your other models. 

Finally got some rain - not enough to a lot of good, but a start. 

The telehandler does get all the running around as I'm too lazy nowadays to lift anything. 

I think that the 'smaller' tractor will always be kept as a standby. When I bought the MF3065 it was a useful sized tractor for most jobs - 20 years later it's too small for most of the gear I have now, but still runs around with rollers trailers and post knockers. Bigger farms may keep a 100hp 4wd as their runaround.......

Sun & blue skies, 9 degrees 

I missed the pics of it completed some how, but Simon's gone and used up all the adjectives, but it's a wee masterpiece. 

Looks really smart, even under the critical close up eye of the camera 

Looks to be in good condition - nice old girl 

My neighbour has a Cruizer and I have a EZ Guide 500 - in terms of accuracy they're much the same using the basic egnos correction. Great for fert, rolling and spraying but not accurate enough to drill by. I think the ez guide has better software and upgradeability, but the Cruizer is the one patchwork are pushing for variable rate fert spreading.

If you are only using the lightbar, the screen won't matter too much but I'd say the EZ guide is marginally better.

If I recall correctly, there is a choice of antennae with both units - buy the 'better' more expensive one as this improves the accuracy if you are in weak signal areas. 

You have had a tractory day mate... you lucky beggar... You just HAVE to rescue that 20d from scraping duties mate... befpre it's too late to save her... she looks to be in good nick for now... 

Lost the usual back window, front grille and air cleaner  Could be repainted into a v. nice 550. 

Good machines Mart. Were those two drills following each other? Do they tramline for vining peas?

What pleased me today was seeing a Spotted Woodpecker going up the trunk of my little weeping birch busily feeding.  Until a curious Jackdaw landed on a branch above it and sat looking down at him, that is.  Perhaps Jackdaw was thinking "meal for the babies?"

Probably waiting for the woodpecker to do the work and he'd grab the bugs.........

Windeaze are good for that John,  :D :D

Send a wagon load up please Ben. 

Planned on spraying, but wind stopped play at 7 o'clock. 

3 Scaledown Dexta 4wd kits. 

Their cars must be different to ours as i'm sure they didn't have a reverse gear 

The number of 'locals' who can't reverse to save their lives annoys me too.

You've certainly got a good mix of toys at your place.
