Bad news Niels, but at least drilling this years crop will help to take your mind off things.

Are you saying the final price was only €20/tonne?

Perfectly normal at garages here. I can get down to Spalding and about 3/4 of the way back. Maybe I need a few jerry cans of white diesel in the boot.

Apparently there is twice as much storage in vehicle tanks than in service stations plus bulk tank farms.

If that's your first conversion, I'm very impressed - cracking job.

Very nice build. It's good to see someone tackling 1/16 scale stuff.

I've had a few problems with 'replies' on Android phone and tablet, but put them down to browser handling.

I second all the above - great country. Make the most of your visit.

Clever looking land for spuds. Don't think I've even seen a destpner doing 5.1k either.

Very nice equipment you have.

Do you put drains in the same place every year or move them around?

I wondered about this too. Even in the UK Valtra and MF are chasing basically the same market/price point. A cynic might say that Agco just wanted the Sisu engine.

theres a norev dominator on ebay at the moment, in need of slight repairs. a few rails and lights need glueing back on etc. no box, but on the whole does'nt look to bad. currently at £16.

It made £114

Nothing wrong with your bales, Sean - you were ahead of the game when you made those.

Layout looking well.

Very nice job, Paul. Those wheels look good.

It also looks like you've waxed the bonnet.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there something seriously wrong with the tank on that sprayer? It appears to have been flattened....

RHS boom seems lower too. Rolled?

Thank you, Luke.

In local Agco dealer today and given some UH Masseys with wing mirrors, beacons off etc and had been returned and 'written off'. I like freebies.

Good photos Cerin. Pretty much something for everybody in that lot.

I've used new silver mist on my 1:1 3065 and found it to be a match on cab and wheels.

I agree with your comments on wheel sizes. My 3085 with a different (74") track setting to the model.

Some bonnets can be a pain to get off!

By heck I didnt even know u were still alive....good to see you are............sorry about the tyres....next buy "tires"

A bit like the smell of your feet - you think it's gone but sneaks back

Have a good birthday but don't get too tyred.

Puncture in the Renault - managed to get in to Tyre services and repaired. Got home and 30 mins later puncture in other wheel. Virtually whole afternoon wasted.

Probably hoping breaking it up would help it dry out. Still wet here too but was travelling with fertiliser today.

Nice line up - the wee 135 looks lost in there!

dont think theres anything wrong with that canvis to be honest, even companys like uh struggle with that sort of thing, just look at some of the mowers they have done ,wouldnt mind knowing what you used infact john, as my unload arm on the jd needs a extension cloth shute and i never did find one to suit it

Thanks Sean, the auger sock is a bit of fine cloth from TT , and I had a couple of attempts making the right shape and size. At the weekend Joe (Catkom3)very kindly gave me a piece of Solartex and I think it could be very useful stuff. It doesn't look a whole lot different in photos, but I'm happier with it.

Thanks Robbo - I might do that.

John,you knocked up the header trolley a bit sharpish.

I was waiting for some paint to dry so just got on with it.

Very tidy job. As you say the decals finish it of a treat.

I missed this first time around too - lovely build, Joe. Making tiny hinges can be very dodgy.
