Letting my beloved Fanny go  :'( :'( :'(

Mavis is more your type anyway Marky 

Back to work today after 2 ploughing aka muck matches the last 2 days

Know what you mean Colm - mostly I been fencing and getting the forklift bogged. 

Another great step by step, with an impressive end result. What an improvement. 

Say goodbye to another rain forest now that you are in mass production mode. 

Lost half a stone since Xmas as well just the other 5 to go  :D :D

Will we recognise you at Spalding 

Now isn't that strange - I changed it but it's reverted back........... ???

You just can't help being a pain, Mr F. 

Sorted.

Like this bale handler attachment?

Cheers Barry - gotcha all now. I've seen similar made by Taylors (?) and I think it had a wire to the pivot point for self levelling as it didn't have a tilt/crowd ram like your pic.

Here you go... Now on 2 pages!

Thanks all.

Bucket next then I guess  \

Good idea 

Swing out sister!! That's ace, John  What is the back wieght made of by the way? Did you make a mould for some fine sand and cement or something?

Just plasticard, Tris with brass hooks, edges rounded and nicked here and there and painted with acrylic paint over a rough primer. One of Nigel Ford's pick up hitch bars. 

no marky a perry bale handler for it mate, hes got bales to pick up after his 703 baler afterall

Anyone got any pics of one of those? Never seen them up here and Google doesn't really help. 

Holly smoke John  :o can you the keep this one as well or do they want it back 

They have said it's not worth sending back, Pete but I'll wait until the replacement arrives before doing anything to this...  

Blimey, I didn't realise at this price they were self assemble kits, John!!  :D

At least with SCALEdown you get instructions 

do these models steer and linkage work or are they a shelf model only??

Pretty much a shelf model, as they arrive screwed to the display plinth.

Mine was fairly well packed in a massive box, number 77

It was in a huge outer box with next to no packing so it was bouncing around like a pea in a whistle.  ...it was No 91 

Lost all my numbers when I rebooted my Nokia 

But you're bound to have a backup on your PC, yes? yes? 

It doesn't look so bad in the pics Sean, I suppose it depends on the lighting too.

Thanks Beginner. 

looks great mate  ;) is it brass ??

Thanks. Mainly plasticard to form the box sections, but rams and twiddly bits are brass. 

Maybe this should be under 'What Really Annoyed You'     

The packaging was absolutely cr*p! NH are going to replace it, fortunately. 

Well the paint dried so I fitted this today. Still some detailing to do, latches, release cable etc. Now just got to make more attachments.    Genuine MF red doesn't match UH red, no matter what colour primer I use. 

Coming together now Sean - looks very well 

Very intricate piece of work - superb 

I can never get my head round the Valtra numbering, but that looks very smart. 

Another nice job - very tasty. 

Good pics and a good choice of tractor 

sorry sean cost of batterys etc

was a good day, my local deutz fahr dealer showed me round the new k series like im on with priceing with him

( k620) never saw in the large green sheds this year ran out of time, in by 9.30am and left at 4pm then spent 2hrs 20mins getting out to the first roundabout   here tell 4c bought enought models to start his own shop

Just got in before the rush today, but left my camera in the car  Too much to do in one day, but did what I intended. 

Good pics, but a wee bit 'green'    I voted for..........

Very tidy FM. Some lovely touches there 

Certainly is a monster - probably got the same turning circle as a supertanker  ;D

I'm down for a few days but not at the Travel Lodge - lots of tea please.

Marky sent me some brochures the other day, and it's been a cr*ppy day here, so had a shot at a MF40 loader this afternoon.
