Think you are right there Gavin sure it was on show and orders were taken at the Irish Farm Machinery show and the Doe show and both of those were in February

I know they were at the Doe show and also at LAMMA in January, so am pretty sure thats right

hope so, the leagl guy did say that 8/10 cases settel before the actual date, just a pain in the preverbial really, they have nothing to complain about over the bill, infact from what i have been told, they are only contesting it over the disatance we had to replace, which we did as short as possible against the rules anyway, to save them time and money,

Now that just makes it more annoying doesn't it Sean, you try to lessen the cost for them and they still kick up a fuss about it

Surprise surprise, he's quite a regular feature in this topic :D :D

To the best of my knowledge it's already out there for sale, was launched in January I believe Rich

Warm, dry, windy and sunny again today...... According to my boss this morning the long range forecast for May is predominantly dry with no talk of much rain at present but hey what do they know, they usually can't get it right from one day to the next :

heard in the pub at lunchtime today that a bloke who used to live down near us then moved up to london a couple of months ago had been going out with a girl who said she was 19 and he then found out she was 13 so he got rid of her, she has since gone to the police and accusing him of rape and underage sex . From what i was told he seems to be in quite deep trouble 

Always blame the bloke as well

Sure this is in the right topic Simon

i see...why did she panic if it was only you??, did you put those tights over your face then bang :D....just trying to make you feel better as its not your fault

Its just a freak accident Nick, whenever anything happens we all tend to go through the blaming ourselves stage, it's human nature

Know what you mean about them Marcus, yet there was a farmer locally who swore by one of them and ran it for years on a big MF 26**, was running it until around 92/3 I believe.

Don't look too bad for silage bales though really \

Nice pics Nick.....take it you didn't get any of the control panel for it then Ever thought about using photobucket for loading all your photo's onto :D

Looks good Reece

Glad you managed to get it back together from the heap of parts you sent me a picture of yesterday :D :D

think it says '1137' (if they made one of them ??? ) on the side but it blurs to much when i zoom in :(

Thats 1177 Ben, one of the larger machines they made at the time

No...I thought I would give Gavin the link as a bribe to keep off of my case for Numpty and Stitch awards....needless to say it didn't work  :D

Moderators are above such things as bribes, you should know that.......... :D :D

Not bad at all for a green machine...are those supposed to be grapes in the first picture? 

oh dear, looks like the snitch may have slipped up to me here.......

Nice work Brian, worth the wait

I can't to a Zetor, my model will be worth more than the tractors themselves

Well said Ian, can't have that can you :D :D

i think both them been photoshopped

You're right, you don't have to look too hard to see that with the Fendt one either

That is true, but it is nothing like the 7810, and its all plastic, I wouldnt mind seeing a zetor, But the poll has changed since it was started tho, zetor wasnt on the orignal list

No it wasn't, somebody has changed New Holland TM190 to Zetor, which, unless Ian done it himself, shouldn't have happened \

cheers Mike, its about 10 years since i last saw one here now

they kept that trailer in various guises for many years gav , even when the tractors got bigger they still had nothing to offer,till the marston came along , for the sake off two extra holes & an axle & wheels, it would have filled a long awaited gap 

Certainly would have, the big boys often over look such a simple thing though which is quite a good thing for us at times

Looking good Marcus. Think they actually look better as a tandem axle

mmm tine springs eh, nice mf harrow due out from you soon then mate

Well I've made two so far out of small wire, just got to make a jig up for them but I think it will work

If I can lay my hands on more details as per my wanted ad a couple of months back for any pneumatic spreader leaflets then I'll pick it up

Looking excellent Gavin when is the Triple K or Doublet Record coming

Cheers Colm

I'm experimenting with making spring tines at the minute, looking promising so we'll see

there's only one vehicle i'd ever put up against a 90 & that would have to be a daihatsu fourtrac

Very true Marcus, I replaced my Fourtrak with a 90, I can't think of any other vehicle I'd rather have than one or the other of them

I'd guess that P plate ones were the first 60 series models, the 40 series were still available on an R plate and as models overlaped in the ranges that must have been the change over period so would be 1996 onwards, Never seen one on an N plate, where's SPN or FNHIR when you need them :D
