Hi everyone, just seen the 2024 catalogue posted on fb, why is there a new Holland combine on page 4 which looks suspiciously NON Britains??? 

I think the JD 4450 is the most interesting, they have done big modern deeres, and the smaller old ones, so this is great 

And what about the NH TX66 combine??

Does anyone know if they are still doing the NH TX66 and the classic fords - can’t remember the models, perhaps a 6710 abs 8210 as advertised a while back???

I can't help but think Britains reply would be "What's Arable"!!!

The scary thing is I think your right, from what I’ve heard they wouldn’t know what a farm was let alone arable

London Toy Fair would have happened by now & would have been some more new releases & surprises. Is there anything else apart from the recent list of Britains models for 2021 ?

If there are any more Britains releases or surprises I bet they’ll either be a re run, an Ertl casting from 1980 or another Fendt to add to the other ten million Fendts everyone else already makes. 
 

where is the arable kit Britains? 

When life has a chance to get to a normal, albeit a new normal will Spalding still go ahead? 
And what is the future of other shows? is there an appetite for other (new) shows should some of the current (pre pandemic) shows not continue in the future?? 

What a disappointment.

Still no arable kit 

Why do Britains need to be doing Fendt and a xerion. And the IH case, really?

I know it’s been covid year but surely they can still access an implement or tractor in the open air?

yawn yawn yawn Britains. Come on you conversion and scratch build specialists the floor is yours, take your opportunity to deliver relevant quality because mainstream can’t manage it.

I’m sure Britains never put a green spreader in a box set.........

I think Britains doing fendts and the likes of of a zerion are a waste of time. Not great models and have already been made, better, there seems to be Fendt everywhere. The only reason the 40 and 50 series JD’s are coming back is £££££. If they want to keep the heritage JD job boyant they should bring out 2140, 2850, 4240s, 4055 etc etc etc. The heritage IH looks like they found a shed full of ertl castings and utilised them. 
For heritage let’s have some MF’s, Deutz, Fords abs perhaps County’s.

And what on earth have the arable sector done to offend Britains??? Cultivation, drilling and arable Kit???? Heritage and modern. I reckon a heritage range of arable kit would do well, plough, drill, rolls, feet spreader, sprayer, combine??

Wow, surely a typo??

totally agree with you there Sean

Me too, such a sign Britains - bring back the heritage!!!

Expensive drill 

He wants £500 for it apparently!!!!!!

Anyone know if this is genuine Britains? 
 

£200 starting bid !!!

Prices on eBay for heritage Britain’s, the TW’s, John Deere 40 & 50 series and the IH’s - are they really worth the money being asked for??

I took that to £155 then bailed out. It looks to me that it might be a Martin Reeve piece, as the workmanship is very good. 

Evening Chris, I messaged the seller and asked him if it was a mfm and he said no, he’d done it himself 

Amazing work John, looks fantastic, can’t wait to see the finished product. 

Love those pictures, I'd forgotten about the 228! Lets have one of those as well!

Looking good David, we need a good claas commander 116 now!

Cracking line up
