Gav836

Pardon? i'm right? you never usually agree with me :D It may well be a tad expensive but there are plenty about if you know where to look Not too sure on the MF one, hard to form an opinion without actually seeing the real thing \

I'd say the one of the Ransomes myself Marky, but i'll gladly come and take a look at them with you if you want me to

Now there's a surprise Chris :D :D

Was this the link that you meant to post? I get most off my ideas off this one http://www.opico.co.uk/variocast-gallery/index.htm

These are the best ones i have i'm afraid, at the minute i leave the yard at 6am and don't get back till 6pm so can't get any better pics either for a while

As well as our fleet of 7 Ares 836's 1 816 and 1 640 we also have one M reg 106-54 left in the fleet, although its only 100hp compared to the 836's 195hp it will pull a 10 ton spreader just as well, the old girl pulls like a train and has a great engine note to it, i had it raking up a couple of months back with the doors open, boy does it snort. Definately one of my favourites, completely bombproof engineering on it as well, been very little trouble in its 9500hrs

Do they make life jackets for action man figures :D :D

I'll send a mop and bucket round for you :D :D

Looking good to me James, get a PTO shaft fitted and the headstock squared up and it'll be spot on

Nice collection there, think we'd better get Tris a bib for the 8210 pics :D

watch it Pingu before i start leaving comments on a certain picture

They were taken at a place called Stanfield, its a blink and you miss it village where i lived for the first 25 1/2 years of my life

That would be the one that i'd think of as well, if the BB doesn't fit the bill, i'm sure that one of the Krone's out there could be converted

Nice project for a few of us on here to try Jason and easy to follow I'm sure that it would look good in MF colours Sean, not too disimilar from one of their balers either

Shouldn't need to do it more than once :D

mine was a blue as well, F reg Ford 7810 GEN II, its still on that farm as well, bit different from the JD

Not really as the farm it started its life on was a wheat only one so its a proper grain trailer not a root trailer, it does have rather large wheels on as well

and this is the carting tractor

Snapped this round my mates farm this afternoon, went there to get more pictures for my model. This is the one that mine is based on

It looks a very good start to me Thomas, looks all to be in the right place

Just looked at the bottle, its not cryanolate, its called Cyanoacrylate

Again its in my local model shop, all comes from the same wholesaler they get their Plastruct and bits from. Its the best superglue I've ever come across

That looks very good to me Thomas, how long has it taken you?

I use Plastic weld for plastruct and styrene sheet and Javis cryanolate for anything like plastic-metal joints, it comes in 3 types, thin, medium and thick but be warned this is not your common super glue, it will bond things in seconds and isn't fussy about what it is : :D

The other shocking bit for us was the fuel economy, that day i started cutting at 10am with our Lexion 460 and finished at 12am the following morning, in this time it used 430 litres of diesel. This JD on the other hand started at 3pm and went through to 12am and used 450 litres of diesel, when i talked to the rep about this he said it would have used over 700 litres if it had worked for the same time as ours had that day :o
