She is described as Girl with Bucket cat no 2039, new addition in 1970 under title of Farm Children, but it would appear your figure is missing the base with the Bucket on.

The New Holland  Combine looks very good, but Ninety quid for a toy suitable for 3yrs and up seems to me to be getting very expensive for a toy.

This is only Dads Tractors model I have, wish I had bought all the trailers when they first came, as finding any for sale now is nigh impossible.

I tested the Powerfarm TW35 and all was ok, much to my relief.

Some of my best pieces in this next box , with some recent purchases. I am trying to go through my complete collection, and get all my models out of card board type boxes and into Really Useful plastic boxes, but will be a time consuming task, and, a quite expensive exercise.

Hopefully will be worth it in the long run, so hope you enjoy this selection.

Not posted for awhile, but here my most recent purchase

Vicon-Lely Acrobat Rake 176F, according to Peter Barons book they were first produced in 1961 for 1 year with this stock , before changing to  9537, so not in to bad condition for 60 years of age.

Has anyone any idea when or if we will see the re-release items in the shops, ie Plough, Roller, Grain Trailer etc.

I am just looking through the 2021 Catalogue, and it shows the 43310 John Deere X9 Combine as a normal model , and not Prestige as mentioned above, has something changed , or will there be 2 versions.

These are the Tractors pulling away from the above Combines.

Another Class Lexion 780 on a different farm with John Deere ???? on carting duties. This is on a 20 plate and i believe it replaced a New Holland CR9090.

My purchases from Spalding Tractor Fair today, great to be out again for all of us, and thought today seemed very well attended. Good all round selection of traders ,many familiar and some new faces which is good to see. Great credit to Colin and his team for all their efforts to put on the show, in what are still strange times, I enjoyed it immensely, and hoping everyone felt the same, also great setting with all that fresh air, well done everyone.

Some pictures of my purchases;

Britains John Deere  3050.

Britains Massey Ferguson 135 in 3 side window box

 

Dads Tractors 3 1/2 Tonne Pettit Trailer. Box I believe is marked wrong, but on the stand where i bought it the Gentleman had just sold the High sided version, so I wondered if lids got mixed up, as i did not notice this until i got home., anyway still a fantastic purchase. 

All three together.

Britain's 2021 Catalogue:

tractorman314.

Looking at the 2021 catalogue, it would appear that the New Holland Baler has been dropped, or is there a new model coming, so they are now waiting until it is in production. A Britain's carpet farmer now has no way of preparing or planting a seed bed, but he can harvest the Cereals , but then he has no means of carting it from the combine, unless he uses a silage trailer. The range at the moment seems to be aimed at Grass production with the introduction of mowers and a new forager, which i like, but as said in previous posts we need a more balanced range, and stop deleting models , until they are replaced with an upgrade of model, or replacement model from different manufacturer. Surely its not rocket science. I also am not keen on these American Heritage models, when the list of real British or even European Heritage models is endless, and would produce far more sales for them.
